If your in town you MUST catch these shows!

Pop08 will be released in Norway 25. August. The album will also be available as mail order and digital download through Musiconline, and digitally through iTunes and more shortly. Due to prior contractual obligations some of the tracks will only be available as a part of a full-album download ("bundle"), not as single tracks.

We have gathered 26 tracks from 26 local artists on a double-cd (priced as a single cd). The idea behind the project is to increase the interest in, knowledge of and use of music and artists from the Stavanger region.
The project has been sponsored by Stavanger 2008, which has enabled us to make this album available for free to all 10th graders in Rogaland county.

Short info in English: In August 2008 we are releasing a compilation of local/regional talents. We had 66 applications and have selected 24 tracks for the compilation titled "Pop08". The compilation will be given away for free to all 10th graders in Rogaland (aprox 5500) thanks to monetary support from Stavanger 2008, but the compilation will also be available as a physical cd release and as digital download.

Da er den foreløpige oversikten over hvilke artister og låter som kommer med på høstens Pop08 samling klar. Det kan fremdeles dukke opp en overraskelse eller to, men listen under er så og si komplett

Det har definitivt vært både en glede og et slit å sitte i lyttepanelet for dette prosjektet. Glede over at det virkelig bobler i de lokale musikkmiljøene for tiden. Vi mottok 66 bidrag til cd´en og det var svært mye bra musikk fra både “veteraner” og nye bekjentskaper. Det var et “slit” å skulle foreta de endelige valgene. Det var mye godt å velge mellom og vanskelig å kutte ned søknadsbunken til et mer håndterbart antall. Det er mange nye artister som ikke kom med i denne omgang men som vi er overbevist vi kommer til å høre mer fra i tiden som kommer.

Vi ønsker å rette en stor takk til alle artistene som har sendt inn bidrag og til lyttepanelet som har gjort en formidabel innsats: Johhny Liadal (Folken), Kjetil Søndeland, (Platekompaniet), Nils Østenfor (Cementen), Jesper Brodersen (Nordic Music Week), Olav Nilsen (Musikkbiblioteket), Stein Bjelland (NuMusic), Johne Fosså (Kippers) i tillegg til undertegnede.

Lyttepanelet har lagt vekt på kvalitetsmessige kriterier, samtidig som vi har prøvd å få en genre- og aldersmessig fordeling av artister og spor som gjenspeiler musikkbyen Stavanger i kulturhovedstadsåret 2008.
