Utterly by chance, the playlist featured three acts from Scandanavia - Farnfarlo, Friska Viljor and Simon Lynge. Thankfully, there's no stylistic scene, and in the case of Fanfarlo, the HQ is London, not Gothenburg. Otherwise the Moday playlist was a chance to praise the new Bunnymen album (massive tunes, bouyant form), Great Lake Swimmers (essence of early REM) and the barmy vision that is Micah P Hinson and 'Are You Lonesome Tonight'.
