Top 10s for 2009: All Scandinavian
The 2009 SpaceScan flashback
So, 2009 is coming to an end and time for reflection is upon us - and thanks to Avi for inviting us to do it here on It's a Trap. Our chosen subject for this year-end retrospect is the All Scandinavian SpaceScan series, a continuous trip around MySpace designed to give our readers and ourselves new, interesting musical experiences.
Every Friday without exception throughout the year we have presented two Scandinavian acts and here are 15 of the songs and artists we think stand out among the 94 so far (it's always hard to kill darlings, so we've simply ignored the Top 10 theme). As this is handed in there are still a handful of Fridays left, but a deadline is a deadline and the world is not always fair...
Anyway, here it is; the SpaceScan flashback of 2009 listed chronologically. Hope you enjoy it.
