Gosh, what a traumatic task you put on me! How will I handle being your eyes and ears on Magne??? Woe is me!!

 

Despite the fact that it will cause me great mental and emotional anguish, I accept this task and promise to pass along any Apparatjik related tidbits I come across in the a-ha world (insert snappy salute here). It's a sacrifice I am willing to make for Apparatchicks everywhere!

 

:P

 

Such hardships we must all bear...for the greater good...it's tough out there looking at and reading about such devilishly handsome and talented men...but I know you will bear this burden well....

 

At ease, soldier...:army:

 

 

Thanks..!!! :D

 

Page 2 people, really?!

 

No no no, this won't do :D

 

Well I've taken my task seriously and I have some tidbits from the a-ha world to share with my fellow chicks. Just posted this on LiveJournal but I'll repost here (and the Apparatacle is welcome to use/adapt this for the apparatchick.com site of course!):

 

In early July, Magne and Morten pre-recorded an interview with Janice Long for UK radio, which was broadcast on August 4. The guys talked about the new a-ha album of course, but Janice also asked Magne about Apparatjik, which I thought was very cool - I don't think any other interviewer mentioned the guys' other projects except in the most general terms.

 

The interview is in a few segments, and in between the guys chose different songs to play on the show. Here are the Apparatjik related bits:

 

Janice: "Your solo project was actually featured on this show. Say it properly for me."

 

Magne: "What do you mean? 'Past Perfect Future...'"

 

Janice: "Appara..."

 

Magne: "Oh, Apparatjik you mean? I get lost in my many doings (laughs). Apparatjik, have we really?"

 

Janice: "Yes, I featured three or four tracks, stuff that you'd done in your studio and was given to me to feature, and had an absolutely incredible response to it."

 

Magne: "Wow, that's good. We are in the process of actually making that something more than just an interesting social setting (laughs). And yeah, it's a lot of fun, it's a lot of people from famous bands and situations trying to come back to a situation with less pressure, less luggage, and just make music for the fun of it. It is creating a lot of good energy for everyone."

 

Later on, Magne chose the song 'The Zookeeper's Boy' by Mew to play on the show, and Janice asked him about his song choice.

 

Magne: "Yeah, always liked Mew. And since getting to know Jonas, he's just a fantastically talented guy. Again, we could have chosen a few other songs, but it's quite unique and interesting pop music, isn't it? He writes almost in a way that folk musicians write."

 

Before the last segment of the show, Janice introduced the 'Ferreting' track.

 

Janice: "We're going to play 'Ferreting'. Is that in full swing now then?"

 

Magne: "It has been going on behind the scenes for a little while, off and on. We're all quite busy, all of us. But we have recorded quite a lot of music and it's got its own sound. It's moved on a bit as well from this 'Ferreting' track, so it's quite exciting."

We are in the process of actually making that something more than just an interesting social setting (laughs)

Ha! :lol: Yeah, "interesting social setting" alright :drunk: :lol:

I'm so used to bitching about the lack of tracks/tweets/info/everything that I'm not sure if I should trust sorta good news :mad: :P

 

Thanks for the info Catherine!!! :kiss:

Yes!

The part about him getting lost between his solo projects is very funny btw!

 

Thanx for posting, Catherine. :D

Thanks for the info. :)

-"Your solo project was actually featured on this show. Say it properly for me."

-"What do you mean? 'Past Perfect Future...'"

-"Appara..."

- "Oh, Apparatjik you mean? I get lost in my many doings (laughs).

Good taste that man. :D

Omg - really they played it on radio 2..? Perhaps I should listen to radio 2 sometimes..:\

 

And yeah, it's a lot of fun, it's a lot of people from famous bands and situations trying to come back to a situation with less pressure, less luggage, and just make music for the fun of it. It is creating a lot of good energy for everyone."

That's exactly what i hoped they were doing it for...! :)

 

I'm a happy bunny after this. Thank you thank you thank you.

Well...I don't like The Lounge but whatta heck...

 

*goes to make a crappy post*

I'm not a big fan of the Lounge either but...

 

:escaping: *goes to the apparatjik thread on the lounge*

I only hang out in one thread in the lounge, but this is gonna be a nice hideout as well *adds to subscribed threads :smug:*

Excuse my not-so-brilliant brain... but how exactly do the subscribed threads work? :dunce:

You go to the top of the thread, and click on "Thread tools" and then on "Subscribe this thread".

The links to all your subscribed threads will appear on your "User CP" :nice: I think it's an easy way to keep up with the ones you usually check without going from one section to the other, it makes things a bit easier and faster as it works as the rest of the forum, threads will appear on your CP depending on how many posts they've had recently :D
