Came across this announcement on The Pirate Bay today. Apparently, Swedish artist Timbuktu (wiki) just released his new single straight to the file sharing community for fans to download.

Here’s the MTV for the new single Tack för Kaffet (Thanks for the Coffee)

Timbuktu - Tack för Kaffet

In this age where many music artistes avoid the internet like the plague and “file sharing” is a taboo word, I agree with the guys at The Pirate Bay when they say Timbuktu may be one of the smartest around. The internet is an excellent medium for sharing and promoting content, and guess what music is? Without the internet (and The Pirate Bay) I would never have heard of this guy and his music. Gladly though, I have. And he’s gained a fan. Just like that.

Checked out a few of his music videos, and, while I don’t really understand what he’s singing, I really like the feel of both the music and the videos themselves. I don’t know how to describe it, but they just seem different, somehow. And there’s this sense of fun and life you feel from just watching the videos. Well, there’s nothing better than sharing the love, so here’s a selection:

Timbuktu - The Botten Is Nådd

Timbuktu - Det löser sig

Timbuktu & Chords - Get Fizzy

Was it as good for you as it was for me?
