Song Translations: doismileoito – Acordes Com Arroz

Inside me something
Keeps me from loving the sun.
I see it merely as light,
Merely as sun.
I want the rain and the cold
So in given time,
I’ll value your warmth.
Afraid of the early nightfall.
When I feel the cold,
I fear not feeling at all.
Who cares what’s good,
If there is no evil.
Just as faces in a postcard,
Don’t want it like this
But I am like this.
I fear the evil, but want it again.
More than a worn shoe,
I feel this is the end.
Bury all the pain and bones in your garden,
Ask the sky for some clouds to harden.

Online Radio – alternatives to last.fm
Jul 31st
Long story short.
If you live in europe you should go for accuradio or deezer
If you dont want to lose your lastfm account you should get the firefox lastfm plugin. It will scrobble the tracks you listen in those sites to your lastfm account
These sites also have the ability to learn what you like. So, you can make the transition into those without giving away your lastfm account.
If you dont live in if you live in the fatter richer countries you have more options, you can use
As the community is probably aware, last.fm, as wonderful thing as it was, is no longer free.
First an intro to last.fm.
The wikipedia article shows the evolution.
Looking for a substitute for lastfm.
Gona evaluate several radios (that recommend musics for you) here:

So far. Imeem sux. Sony playground. Doesnt play a lot of stuff. Very mainstream, very fashionable. Sure it’s Napster’s substitute. But that doesnt show.

The Portuguese flag tryout
Jul 23rd
Was here pondering about this problem. You see, there is this thing called flags…
and i was wondering about the flags i am familiar with.
Are flags important? You bet they are. As Eddie Izzard puts it, “no flag no country“.
From here, i could go on and debate (or whatever you do when you talk to yourself) on what is a country. But i’ll stick to flags.
And since there is a whole scholarly study dedicated to flags, i’ll restringe myself and stick to a flag i am familiar with.
Presenting, the Portuguese flag:
Now, this thing is not very ancient. It’s from the beginning of the 20th century, when everyone thought it was a good idea to have a new flag.
Along with the new flag, they also installed a new political system. That didn’t work very well, so people went on beating each other’s chin for 60 years after that.
But let’s stick to the flag.It’s supposed to be full of meaning, as flags usually are.
Actually, it turns out it is pretty much… random.
History (here represented by wikipedia) says a bunch of people were told to gather up, toss ideas around, and tell the painter guy to try them out.
The symbolism for this red and green with a blotch of yellow cloth is taught to children in Portugal as:

Organize your mp3 collection

Fullmooninu Tutorials – Music (but mostly MP3) Organizing
Well, i was messing around after purchasing MusicIP and figure i should alter this massive wall of text to something less scary.
So i was thinkin i should make two versions.
So… here’s the thing, im gona actually produce a light tutorial on music organizing, all centered on MusicIP. MusicIP is like, ossum, and puts everything else the web has to off out on a corner.
I’ll try to explain why. As in the previous version of this tutorial it had little standout.
Alpha Version 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000111111111baby11111

Light tutorial version:
MusicIP Mixer – it’s A LOT more than it appears to be..
Okay Guys, I was telling some of you folks i would write some tutorials for this and that.
So here’s what, im going to do one right now… watch it grow while i use this forum as an excuse for the hiatus
This tutorial is for anyone who has a large (messy) music collection and wants to learn the basics to keeping such a collection organized, and use all that organizing to your personal benefit.
It’s mainly directed to the organizing of MP3 files, mostly because thats what the gross of my collection is, and because MP3 files, still present a very good quality/size ratio – specially when you are speaking about a LameMP3 encode at 192kbps 
(which is what i consider the current “sweet spot” for audio files, by the way)
First of all, you have to understand how i think: I like my music files to be properly organized, i make sure they aren’t corrupt, aren’t low quality and that i don’t have any duplicates in my collection.
I organize music using only two factors. Artist and Track title.
Some people like to work with Albums, others like to work with Genres.
Nonetheless, this guide can help you organize your music, whatever the way you prefer it to be organized.

First post
Jul 23rd
I do a lot of stuff on the inter-webs. Me and a couple of other people. Mostly useless stuff. Some of it is very far-fetched, and i recon we have accumulated some useful knowledge.
This is the place where we will post some of that stuff.
There are a couple of rules we will use:
1) we don’t do it for popularity
2) don’t’ post about posts
3) original articles first
4) avoid reviews
5) avoid talking about recent events
6) avoid the hype
new rules will appear
