BONN - It took some time, but it's online now: The TDR-supported demos-from-fans project known as "Fanism!"

  The idea, born here in The Daily Roxette's "SmallTalk" section, was that fans wanted to record their own demo versions of Rox-songs as a very special tribute to Per and Marie. Bands like Gladstone, Kix and Melancholodic communicated via the pages of TDR. The result is a collection of 14 songs from Roxers all around the world!

  While the project was originally intended to be released on CD, the high cost of distribution made the musicians decide to create a website instead where all of the songs are available for high-quality download.

  The readers of TDR suggested names for the project and after a comment from Per, "Fanism" was chosen. Besides the songs and pictures of all of the artists, there is an opportunity to give a feedback by signing the Fanism online-guestbook. We invite you to take a look at www.fanism.org and listen to songs like "Here Comes the Weekend",
"Sommartider" and "First Girl on the Moon."
