HALMSTAD - GylleneTider.se will be shut down April 1. There’s really nothing more to say. Possibly it will be back in some form later on, but nothing has been said at this point. What’s definite is that Göran Fritzon will keep the domain for now.

Gessle-penned song on Wadling’s new album
Written by tevensso on March 14, 2005 to Misc.
STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - Swedish musician Freddie Wadling (The Flesh Quartet, among others) will release a new album March 30. The album is called “Jag är monstret” (“I Am the Monster”), and contains songs written by other artists, like for instance Jocke Berg (Kent), Mauro Scocco and Per Gessle.
Per’s little contribution is “Måla mitt minne” (“Paint My Memory”), a mid-tempo song written for the “Mazarin” album in November 2002, but was never fully recorded. Some of the melody is borrowed from Per’s own instrumental “View From a Bridge”, written for the opening of the Öresund bridge a few years ago.
Titiyo sings with Freddie on this song.

The show will be broadcast at 8pm CET on SVT2 and SVT Europa. It will also be available (perhaps the next day) in streaming format on the SVT’s website.
