HD disk format wars are over

A much more revealing article hides in the shadow of this simple title. It’s a 2006 retrospective on CE industry by Charlie Demerjian on The Inquirer - a delicious and cynical bashing on DRM, RIAA, and all those demons from hell. Really good reading material. Link.

Radar’s Best - 2006


João @ 21:28 No Comments Yet

Radar FMMy favourite radio station - Radar - has finally convinced themselves that they needed a decent website!

Also, check out their Top50 albums and Top10 concerts in 2006 over here. I was only unpleased with Band Of Horses’ position in the chart, but it’s all good.

And finally… they’ve got the new Arcade Fire song, Intervention available for download, instead of making us pick up our phones. Hurray!

Radiohead - Amnesiac


João @ 15:19 2 Comments!!!

Radiohead - AmnesiacThis was the last Radiohead album I discovered, but most certainly the most intriguing. In fact, the whole album spooks me out. From Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors’ odd beat to the brilliantly simple lead guitar riff from Knives Out, I just love it. Thanks for the recommendation, Gastão.

  1. Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box
  2. Pyramid Song
  3. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors
  4. You and Whose Army?
  5. I Might Be Wrong
  6. Knives Out
  7. Morning Bell/Amnesiac
  8. Dollars and Cents
  9. Hunting Bears
  10. Like Spinning Plates
  11. Life in a Glasshouse

I though that it was about time I had a homepage. And I desperately needed someplace where I could organize all my projects and showcase them all.

So, here it is, hope you’ll like it. I’ll be spending the following days building the Projects section. In the meanwhile… Merry Christmas!
