A great playlist with Norwegian electronica
Surfing the great internet I found this gem: Radio Anders - Det norske hus
It's a playlist with Norwegian electronica. Very groovy! Give Anoras a shout here.

Introducing the shortlists
As I mentioned in the previous post I want to make shorter lists for Northern Exposure and here are my first attempts at that.
The First Northern Exposure Shortlist I have named Ironic Glowsticks. It's the kind of music you could find on the club concept Get Dancy. All the tracks are quite dancy so to speak.
Ironic Glowsticks - Northern Exposure Shortlist vol.1
The second shortlist is a collection of songs to make you sleepy. I've tried this one for sleeping already and it works. Play at low volume.
Bedheaded - Northern Exposure Shortlist vol.2

Thoughts about the future
I've done a major update to the playlist today. You can see all the tracks added on the sidebar under Newest entries. If you want to listen through the whole playlist you now got 10 hours of indie bliss ahead of you. This has got me thinking though.
I will keep on adding music to the Northern Exposure playlist but I will also try to make shorter playlist based on themes, moods maybe every other week or so. I think it will be more interesting and easier for people to relate to shorter playlists than this mammoth.
I want Northern Exposure to evolve. That means a better design, maybe collaborate with other likeminded Nørwegians and foreign vikings.
And most of all I want Google to release Google Wave right now. That tool will make writing in English so much easier:)
Got some thoughts too? Comment please!

Lukestar now on Spotify
Seems all my prayers have been heard by those Swedes in charge at Spotify. Now you can listen to Lukestar too, although only their first album Alpine Unit.
Let's hope they add Lake Toba soon. Alpine Unit is also a great album. If you like it go buy Lake Toba you cheap bastards:)

Firetop Mountain on Spotify
The band I'm playing in has just arrived on Spotify. It's called Firetop Mountain, and our music is in the same vein as Lemonheads, The Posies and Death Cab for Cutie. Jangle pop, power pop, indie rock and a little twist of emo one might say. Check out our album on Spotify:
Firetop Mountain – Indians Aren't Afraid Of Heights
Dearest wishes

2 great Norwegian indie bands not on Spotify
This time we're gonna do something different. There are a few bands that deserve to be on the Northern Exposure playlist had they only been on Spotify. So this post is gonna be focused on our wishlist for Northern Exposure.
Sigh & Explode
This band is an shock & awe attack on your eardrums. S&E plays intelligent and arty screamo / post-hardcore in the vein of The Blood Brothers and fellow Oslo-band Rumble In Rhodos. Genre purists have made a habit of criticizing the band for this, but when S&E released their debut record "These Seem Like Tarantulas" we believe their tongues were tied. Produced by Emil Nikolaisen of Serena Maneesh fame and Bjarne Stensli of Harrys Gym the record trancends the usual hardcore fare by light years. It's a record filled with details elegantly hidden beneath white noise and clever soundscapes. Go to MySpace, have a listen, and we put our money on that you will agree.
Lukestar
They won the Norwegian Grammy for best rock album of 2008. No wonder 'cause Lake Toba from Lukestar is indie rock with a difference. If you like the high pitched meaows of Mew and Sigur Rós you will love lead singer Truls's voice. Lukestar's appeal comes from clever songcraft and them sounding like they are playing live on their record - no Pro Tools touch ups or autotune as far as we can tell. Go to their MySpace and hear for yourself.
