Martin and Alexander at RIX Morron Zoo part 2

So here is the 2nd part of interview. Took time phew. Enjoy !
A is Alexander and M is Martin still !

-The new book, what can you tell us about that one ?
A:- It's name is " Kroppsmaskinerna"( The Bodymachines) and that is a manual for the smart people. Like you.
-Finally !
-So we will know how we function.
- A help yourself-book.
A.-Me and my co-writer Jan Söderquist write book that we have travelled the world around with. We have had success. And now we have written a book where we have taken Darwin and Freud and put in them in a particel accelerator and then we have let them blown with each other. It's a book about the latest in brain research. How we people function. And that is very fascinating. We have worked with this for 5 years. Extremely fascinating.
- Have you any benefit from that when you write music ?
A:- No, that is 2 different kind of works. I am very schizofren I believe.
- But couldn't it be good to know how the human being function when you write a song ? I mean to win Melodifestivalen. It is a science.
A:- Yes, but is about the magical that you can't touch. Why you like it. That's the exciting with music. When you like a song. When you get delighted in a song. There is the tingle feeling. I don't know why I like the song. I only think it's absolutely beautiful. A feeling of that. That will never any scientist found out about.
-Martin, when Alexander presents a song for example for you. Do you tell your honest opinion if you don't like it ?
M:-Absolutely !
- And what happens then ?
M:- So far has it worked very well cause we have same opionion about what songs we like more or less. So it is not a problem in that way. We throw away songs very early if we don't think they are good. So before we start to sing in a song so maybe we have rejected a lot of others.
- But are there irascible discussions in the group ?
M:- Oh yes !
A:- Though not about music. Is it something we all three in BWO have so is it same taste in music. We like exactly the same.
- What do you fight about ?
M:- Sports, politics, who is best of us for the most.
A:- If someone is one minut late to a meeting so is there terror for the rest of the day for that person. We are time fascists all three of us.
- You really are that ?
M:- We like to pick on each other.
- Can we take this with the rules in Melodifestivalen ?
- We need paper and pen.
- Before we take the rules is Christer Björkman a bribe butt ?
A:- No he is not.
M:- Abolutely not.
A:- He has a impossible task. I think personally it would be better if we had a Eurovision contest in February. Then you have maybe 10 songs that realistic have a chance to be a hit international that competes against each other. Then you can have a Melodifestival from April to Midsummer, like San Remo Festival in Italy. And there the Swedish people can vote on the song they think are best. Cause today we ask the Swedish people what song do you think is the best and at same time we say to them that they should vote on the song that will go best in Europe. That is 2 different things and that get very schizofren of everything. I think that Christer Björkman is in a impossible situation and make a work of a horse. He is fantastically good. But he has an impossible task cause he should do 2 things at same time.
- But when you miss on person in the jury the he cover up himself.
A:- Yes, it's important that someone does that.
M:- Who should do that instead is my question ? Are you tempted Roger ?
- He can call me.
- But isn't he too involved in this. Say instead someone else but Christer Björkman can take that place.
A:- I don't agree about that. I know how this works. There are 3000 songs sent in and most of them is written by amateurs and then you get the 32 best songs which comes to the Festival in the end year after year. It's simply that some people are very good at writing songs. You just have to admit that.
- Can't you say instead that Christer Björkman can choose 32 songs ? And then he can do that.
A:- He choose 4 songs every year, the so called jokers.
-Yes, the jokers.
A:- I think that is enough.
A:- You can find other ways. One way for example , you pick 16 places for Sweden's best songwriters and they can write one song each and then 16 places for the public and then ordinary people can send them in. Then you can have a competition with those. There are several solutions you can have for this problem. And then we can do that.
- But now we talk about the songs. When there really is we vote on the artists.
A:- No it's not !
M:- A combination I believe. But it's a bit exaggerated the meaning of the artists and you have seen that especially this year. And Shirley came last.
A:- When you come to Globen it finally is about the songs every year. And it's always the best songs that win. It must be about that.
M:- Then it happens to be that a great artist can express a song in a better way. And you need routines and experience, knowledge and talent to express a song in a good way. An artist is not unimportant. Certainly not.
- What did you think about Måns ( Zelmerlöw) this weekend ? You weren't that impressed I understand.
A:- Måns is really good. I am a fan and a friend and a friend has written the song. So I am involved in one or another way anyways. Though I had the feeling that this is Martin Stenmarck singing Hero( Charlotte Perelli's song that won Melodifestivalen 2008). If I should be totally honest. I think Måns has done everything to win Melodifestivalen and have then a problem if he is going to Moscow I believe. Cause I don't think this is something that works international at all.
And then I think Alcazar the week before would be much better to send to Moscow. Cause they have an international career and are more international in all ways.
- What is needed international to be all good ?
A:- A very good song that sounds very modern that can work in Eastern Europe. Because it's not that Eastern Europe vote on each other. They vote on songs they like. But the most countries in Europe is in Eastern Europe. It is more countries there then in Western Europe. So a song that should win in Moscow must be a song that Eeastern Europe likes or a Swedish song has no chance there.
- If you don't win.
A:- Which we really want to.
- Then Alcazar can win ?
A: - Yes, I think Alcazar is a good alternative.
M:- The song they have, the routine and they have the experience and the history.
A:- And they are a big name in Eastern Europe.
- But Lili & Susie ?
M:-They have a very good song I think.
A:- They are unknown in Eastern Europe yes.
M:- But they had really the best song I think. Now this Saturday.
- Very good song.
A:- The gay-hit this year.
- I would bet my money on that.
- A question that we never get away from in Melodifestivalen is the clothes. It's always me that has to ask that. Last year you were spectacular really. You could almost not walk with your shoes and the collars were so high and nice. How is it this year ?
A.- Cosmonauts.
M:- Naked.
-Cosmonauts and naked ?
A:- 8 cosmonauts on stage it will be on Saturday.
M:- 8 naked cosmonauts.
A:- If you should do something do that propertly.
