Oh Olympia, how dear are you? It's like you know exactly what I want, and then wrap it up in a sweet, DIY, indie package.
This time you've spawned a new radio show, on Olympia's public radio masta ship KAOS named
Pining for the Fjords whose mission in life is to feature pop / folk / electronica / soul bands and artists from the Scandinavian countries -- mainly Norway and Sweden, but also Denmark, Finland, and Iceland.
The weekly show (every Thursday) debut'd last week and this afternoon from 1p to 3p is the show's second installment.
If you're in radio range of Oly, you can listen on ye olde radio at 89.3 FM. The rest of the world can listen LIVE online at
www.kaosradio.org from
1p-3p TODAY (and every Thursday from here on out).

Ooooh, this does sound good. I bet I can fill up an entire iPod of just Scandanavian music! I wonder if I can get it from my work computer.

thanks very much for the blog! the show has been going well so far (i think and hope!) although it's been a little quiet the past few weeks in terms of response. i am open to ANY suggestions, ideas, requests, proper pronunciations, etc. feel free to send a note to darnfloorbigbite@hotmail.com if you love Scandinavian music.
thanks again!
