Record Retrospective : Joyride with Roxette

R.R. # 2391

a kind of Magical Mystery Tour on a Wheel of Fortune?!?

Well "Hello, you fool"! We begin this tour of Joyride, by simply present how much I love each album tune (on the swedish CD version). Before I used 1-7 stars, but now grown from 0 to 9 stars :

8 stars

1. Fading Like a Flower

2. The Big L.

3. Joyride

7 stars

4. Watercolours in The Rain

[composed by Fredriksson herself]

5. Things Will Never Be The Same

6. (Do You Get) Excited?

6 stars

7. Church of Your Heart

8. Knocking On Every Door

9. Spending My Time

10. Perfect Day

5 stars

11. I Remember You

12. Soul Deep ['91 version of their original '86]

13. Physical Fascination

4 stars

14. Hotblooded

15. Small Talk

= all good songs, many splendid, of rich variation.

As soon as Joyride was released, I gladly bought it in April 1991. That was (and is) an unusual behaviour for me, who often discover albums many months or years afterwards - seldom when they just met the world. It's the only Roxette record I've really grown up with, and listened to quite permanently during my sixteenth year. (All their other nine albums have been studied like historical gold, either a bit here and a bit there, or the whole during some week.)

Next round reflects which character, psychological feature or advantage each song has (in my ears) :

 

most Strong song

SOUL DEEP

most Beautiful song

SPENDING MY TIME

most Creative song

JOYRIDE

most Funny song

KNOCKING ON EVERY DOOR

most Serious song

THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

most Sexy song

THE BIG L.

most Mysterious song

(DO YOU GET) EXCITED?

most Ordinary Song

I REMEMBER YOU

most Sympathetic song

CHURCH OF YOUR HEART

most introspective song

WATERCOLOURS IN THE RAIN

most Superficial song

SMALL TALK

most Smart song

PHYSICAL FASCINATION

most Easy song

HOTBLOODED

most Cosy song

PERFECT DAY

most Dynamic song

FADING LIKE A FLOWER

Roxette's masterpiece was one of my first things on CD, so I never realised (until now) that the LP version got only 12 tracks on it, instead of the almost too much 15 tracks. The three tracks which got space on CD are Church of Your Heart, Soul Deep version '91 and I Remember You. If I would have to peel off three tracks from the CD, I'd rather live without Small Talk, Physical Fascination and Hotblooded.

Like the perfect production, the playing order of the tunes are professionally made. However I could personally wish they had been put together the following way :

imagined Side A

1) Joyride

2) Fading Like a Flower

3) Church of Your Heart

4) The Big L.

5) Hotblooded

6) Things Will Never Be The Same

7) Watercolours in The Rain

imagined Side B

8) (Do You Get) Excited?

9) Knocking On Every Door

10) Soul Deep

11) Physical Fascination

12) I Remember You

13) Spending My Time

14) Perfect Day

ZYZ

Musikstycken från 1973 (i Mitt inre Hus)

 

Återigen inser jag att -73 är den kanske mest gyllene årgången inom allt vad poprockmusik heter. Den tiden fyller 50 i år, lika många som utrymmena i mitt symboliska hus har fått bli vid det här laget.

Visserligen en sorts förteckning över favoriter, eller sådana jag hört mest, men numreringen anger ingen rangordning, blott poetisk överblick.

Tomiro's Diary, now from 2053

...this kind of sci-fi continues...

 

Thursday 31:st of Apripeach 2053

Good morning, Tomiro?! We can see you have moved to the Arctic area. Obviously you experience blooming springtime now, even before the old swedish region gets rid of all their snow. However we suspect the weather wasn't the reason why you've left...? Eventually some imagined woman who you cannot forget...? Up here the societal blocks lives closer to each other, which on the other hand makes every border more real. After all, Tomiro, you have not died at all. Our icy voice begins to sound sunny again.

 

 

Friday 32:nd of Apripeach 2053

Still it's a bit unclear whether you are joining the empire of Ruschina or United Sweden. Maybe rather the Green Inuits have captured you on their third side...? We feel curious just because we care for your security. Since most parts has updated their nuclear submarine robots, you know you have to walk very conscionsly. Hidden under thin ice flakes, the war machines could potentially start - if your steps falls on them. Especially if you never got an unambiguous ID-chip to calm the magnetic sensors down.

 

 

Saturday 33:rd of Apripeach 2053

Our night mare comes and goes today too. Recently you remembered 2023 when crazy relations created that chain reaction. Suomi bacme part of United Sweden in its earliest shape, even before the original swedes were allowed to enter the system. Then as Turkey turned their trust to Ruschina anyway, we still dream the Nordic countries would have stayed an isolated mass - that the American annexation of half Europe never should happened. The only consolation is how the new US was formed by free will, as you see it Tomiro. Compared to the societal machinery of Ruschina, we believe every power on this planet could seem nice.

From Famous 500 Lists : Which 10 x 10 Albums Would I....

Among Albums which actually can be found both on NME's list made 2013 and on Rolling Stone's list in its 2020 updated version..

..here you can see how they differ from my personal preferences. Filtered through ten unique questions, which scenarios may clarify my relations to chosen albums. 

 

The Both Big Tops is really fascinating to study, since their positions sometimes differ light years from which I would choose. My judgements may as well tell something about how familiar I am with them (while other albums are complete strangers).

In other words I've collected material from :

every album on the 500 list by New Musical Express

https://www.albumoftheyear.org/list/209-nme-the-500-greatest-albums-of-all-time/

+ from every album on the 500 list by Rolling Stones Magazine

Visby Mystery chapter 4 : Chess Board

still from last summer on Gotland

 

from Tomiro's Diary, still thirty years inside future

Friday 8:th of Marzipan 2052

 

Welcome back, Tomiro! Today the scary empire of Ruschina is almost over. Their face masks began to crack during month of Beforever. Last teleportation tower fell apart by its own tension. No nuclear power slipped out into our swedish colony, just melting satellites around Putingrad. We see you laugh again, only thirty years after Ruschina was planned being made. This spring people are allowed to fully re-create their true identity. Remember whether Tokyo or Gothenburg was most important?? - for the boy who's always the biggest part of you, Tomiro! Through stolen DNA-sequences they didn't succeed changing anyones deepest core memory.

 

= one more short story made of 100 words

 

 

Thursday 14:th of Marzipan 2052

 

As Ruschina finally collapse, former ukrainian people creep out from secret caves. Here in colonial Sweden some of your co-workers still feel they are ukrainian. Inside this mountain of undelivered packages, you're preparing bikes every night. No nuclear robots are needed as assistants. Last morning you saw Zemlinskyj on a blue screen in those yellow streets. If still alive, their haunted president is 74 years already. Putin would've been 100 in Octoberov, but died of vaccine overdose. We couldn't let him transform whole planet. Tomiro, you don't know whether you're older or younger than any human. Vaettirs often shift age.

Top 100 tvSeries, almost everyone I've Ever Seen

 

from Most Memorable down to those I seldom miss (but still Remember something special of), in order of how strong they have touched my heart and/or impressed my brain.

Only including longer series, of which I have experienced at least twelve short or six long episodes, often many more (in most cases on discs, seldom streaming or classic broadcasting) - so some of my favourites fall outside of this list.

No pure programs, talk shows nor reality docusoaps here, just dramatised stories or directed scenes with actors (or dolls, cartoons). No room too for christmas calendars, collection of sketches such as Monty Python, Galenskaparna, neither different short stories like Hitchcock Presents etc.

I became surprised of how many I've really have watched, and even more surprised of how many I still have left to discover (maybe never).

For each I mention the place it's mostly located to, plus the year first aired. The maker can refer to creator as well as director or manuscript writer, whoever seems most responsible.
