    11 May 2012: Dominik, a songwriter and Max Martin fan from Germany, wrote to me to tell me that he met Max Martin! This is his story:  
     
    I was at the ASCAP Expo this year and before it started I knew that Max Martin would be arround for the ASCAP Awards... So I knew where the venue was and hang arround in the Lobby of the Hotel.. After Ammo and Shellback came through the Lobby I was like: omg... I would die if Max Martin would walk in here also... A few minutes later... He did!!! I actually died!! But I was brave enaugh to say "hi" to him and ask him for a picture. He was very very friendly and offered me to shake hands and he asked me where I was from and what I do.. I said to him: "Congrats on your fifth" because I knew that he won "Songwriter of the Year" AGAIN!! ^^ He said "thank you" MAX MARTIN!!!: He asked me if I would also go into the awards and I was like: "Maybe sneaking in" haha. Next year!!

    Sugababes - Catfights And Spotlights   Emilia de Poret - Pick Me Up  
    Sugababes have recorded the song "Unbreakable Heart" written by Klas Åhlund and Max Martin. I only knew this because I read it on our forum. Very nice. As first mentioned on our forum! Swedish singer Emilia de Poret's latest single "Pick Me Up" is written by Arnthor Birgisson, Emilia de Poret and AJ Junior. This went straight to No.1 in Sweden! It will be released in Australia on 4 October 2008. Emilia worked with Jorgen Elofsson on her last album! Her new album will have songs by Arnthor, Savan and maybe Rami?

    Cyndi Lauper - Bring Ya To The Brink Gavin DeGraw
    As posted on my Guestbook by Birchmead (thank you): "Into the Nightlife" is a new song by Cyndi Lauper. It's written by Peer Åström, Johan Bobäck, Cyndi Lauper & Max Martin and produced by the first three. It's from her new album called "Bring Ya to the Brink". Excellent news! Martin from Sweden first let me know that Gavin's new album might include something from Max (thank you).
       
      However, don't get too excited!! Max is only on Pre-Production on the song "In Love With A Girl" .  
       
      But for completion purposes, you know you'll buy it.
