Hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I bought myself a Banjo for Christmas. It’s a bit tricky to play, but I’m trying my best. Next album I’ll try to use it on a few songs. Yeeeehaaa!
Jonestown on a CD Baby Playlist!
I got a mail today from CD Baby, the largest indie-distributor in the U.S. They LOVE the Jonestown CD and are putting it on their “Haunting, Fractured Folk Pop collection” playlist.
Check it out here: https://cdbaby.com/playlist/7
This is what they said about the album:
“The CD Baby editorial staff hears hundreds of albums every day and we love your “SOFIA TALVIK: Jonestown” CD so much we’re going to include it in our upcoming Haunting, Fractured Folk Pop collection which will be featured on cdbaby.com for one week beginning on Wednesday, December 31st 2008.”
Download my Christmas single for FREE!
This year’s Christmas single is dedicated to all those people who need a helping hand, whether it is the lonely teenager or the homeless man on the street. This single is a free download, but I urge you to use the money you would have spent on it on iTunes to help someone less fortunate. My donation is to Stadsmissionen who helps homeless people in Sweden. If you give a gift to them by text message you will receive this Christmas single as a cellphone signal. Use it and let your friends know that you care for those who need it.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

2 X Christmas charity
Christmas is a time to do good deeds and I’ve stocked up on them this year! MQ (one of Sweden’s largest clothing companies) has joined forces with the Red Cross this Christmas in the campaign “Give a little bit” and I’m very happy to be a part of it. There will be a commersial on TV with 16 Swedish artists and we’re all giving our fees to the Red Cross.

I’m also, as usual each year, releasing a Christmas single. But this time I hope you will all visit Stadsmissionens website (Stadsmissionen helps homeless people in Sweden) and donate a gift by text message. If you do that you will get my Christmas single “A Carol for the Lonely” as a cellphone signal directly to your phone. The single will be available as mp3 here on my website as well.
