Since no media in Kristiansand seem to care too much about exciting new music out there (to put it mildly), it’s up to us music lovers to do our part in spreading the word when we come across some. And the simplest way to do that is to round up a handful of music nerds and make them cough up what songs they listen most to right now. The resulting playlist you’ll find on these pages monday every week. And if we find the songs in the blogosphere we link them to the embedded player on the left sidebar so you can play through them right here and now. Sweet, eh?

This week’s playlist is compiled by Ronny Haugeland, Andy Inglis, Roy Søbstad, Kristin Øygarden and me. Enjoy!
