Extraordinary news!!

[sound world]

I found this Italian page via Google's (Sweden) News:-

http://www.giovanipace.org/index.php?op ... &Itemid=26 dated 30th October

Halfway down it says this-

'Stina Nordenstam torna a casa. La celebre cantante svedese celebra alla grande i suoi 50 milioni di dischi venduti con un concerto acustico al Teatro Drammatico Reale di Stoccolma.
I fortunati che hanno potuto ascoltarlo – biglietti esauriti da mesi – dicono che è stata un’emozione unica. In prossima uscita il DVD dell’evento.'

which according to my Translation machine means this-

'Stina Nordenstam returns to house. Celebre the Swedish singer celebrates to large its 50 million discs sold with an acoustic concert to the Real Dramatic Theatre of Stockholm.
The lucky people who have been able to listen to it - tickets exhausted from months - say that it has been an only emotion. In next escape the DVD of the event.'

Which,if true,is [censor]

The suggestion that Stina has sold 50m discs is quite
Interesting find but i can't really make much sense of it.
A live gig filmed for dvd?
hmmm......

[Franck]

seems completely nonsense to me.

The suggestion that Stina has sold 50m discs is quite

agreed.

[polincoly]

i am not interested in figures though.
more concerned on the filmed dvd... so interesting.

P.S. I fatti e le cifre sono inventate, gli artisti no, la loro musica nemmeno. Ascoltare per credere.


P.S. The facts and figures are fictional, not the artists, their music either. Hearing is believing.

[RobB]

Thanks kuhn.

I guess the moral of this story is to always read the p.s [b)]

ah well, that was our piece of exciting Stina non-news for 2009......roll on 2010.

Yes, I discovered that a bit later.I did smell a rat with the suggestion that Stina was prepared to *suddenly* give a concert after all these years...
Presumably the guy who wrote it is a bit like us, full of wishful thinking where Stina is concerned...
Just to double-check,I Googled around for results for Stockholm's Royal Theatre etc,and there was no mention of Stina,natch.

Oh well it raised the excitement level for 24 hours...

The way things are going,we'll be smelling rats with the suggestion that Stina was prepared to *suddenly* release an album after all these years...

OMG this is hilarious.

[paul-pgss]

Hilarious indeed. Just like the gardening accident rumour. I really liked that as well.
