While in Australia in late January 2008 I popped by Stuart Buchanan’s nationally syndicated
Fat Planet radio show on FBi Radio 94.5FM. The audio link above features the 36-minute
session in which Stuart and I discussed new Icelandic music and played new tracks by six
up- and-coming Icelandic artists. They are (in order):
Olof Arnalds - Klara - Vid og Vid
Benni Hemm Hemm (feat. Jens Lekman) - Friðþjófur Og Ingibjörg - Ein Í Leyni
Mr. Silla & Mongoose - Organ Deviltry - Foxbite
Borko - Ding Dong Kingdom - Celebrating Life
Hellvar - Kjaftaedi - Bat Out Of Hellvar
FM Belfast - Synthia (Demo) - how to make friends
Stuart’s radio show is a companion to his international music blog, Fat Planet, which was
recently featured in The Guardian as “Best Blog For World Music.”
