3 concerts not to miss in Portugal this summer

May 23, 2006 Author: admin | Filed under: Blog, Music

This summer promisses to be one of the best in term of concerts. Besides the usual festivals (Super Bock SuperRock, Sudoeste e Paredes de Coura) which will bring names like The Editors, Franz Ferdinand, Deus, Morrissey and many others, there’s also three concerts which i’m looking forward to see in July.

3) Gotan Project
A mixture of Tango, Rnb, dance music and other genres with some great beats of sound, really worth seeing, plus they just released a new album so there’s new musics to ear and dance.

Lunatico

2) Sigur Ros
Symphonic melodies, strange and beautifull sounds a mixture of music with emotions is what you can expect from this concert. I really liked their last album, it’s like nothing you’ve ever heard.

Takk

1) Belle and Sebastian
Fresh with a recent new album, Belle and Sebastian come to show their english sounds, excellent melodies and great lyrics vastly inspired from the 70’s. Not to miss.

The Life Pursuit

Well, I guess i’ll see you there in a month or two. :)

no more xbox live points

May 21, 2006 Author: admin | Filed under: Blog, Games

Amazon.co.uk has stopped shipping Xbox Live Points to outside the Uk, which is a bit troublesome for me because Xbox Live isn’t working in Portugal (yeah, how lame of them) and the unnoficial way to get an xbox live account is to create one with an adress from a Live enabled country.
In my case I chose England because it was fairly simple to buy the points from Amazon, but looks like i’ll have to resort to something else.

I still don’t get why I live in the only country in the damn European Union with Xbox Live, I mean, one of the strong selling points of the Xbox is the multiplayer games, the ability to download demos, games and addons thru the net and so on.
Looks like i’ll have to scheme some way to get an account from a near by country (like Spain) and import the Live points.

On another note, my Xbox 360 is finally giving signs of overheating, I was expecting this for some time but looks like the day has finally come. Guess I’ll have to look for some sort of cooling solution too.

Rebooting

CSS Reboot started 1st may and i’ve registered both my personal site, which I redesigned some time ago from the ugly with lots of tables design and the site which I created for the Atempo Academy of Studies.
There seems to be alot of fresh ideas and creativity on the new designs in this edition of the CSS reboot, it’s really worth your time to browse the different categories and take a look at the wondefull sites from this year. Don’t forget to vote too. :)
CSS Reboot site is available here.
