Pledge to go fur-free at PETA.org.

Gather some friends names and e-mails and send them to PETA2@peta.org , showing that you really care to help them stop this massacre!

to stop this massacre!

Chinese fur farms use many animals that are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. See it for yourself if you have the courage!

No more Entrecard!

noreply@blogger.com (Metricks) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:28:25 PDT

Yesterday while submiting my new blog "Matris Terra" to Entrecard.com, the management of Entrecard did not only deleted my new submission, as well all other accounts related to blogs i managed within the site. It appears that all the blogging spirit is now highly measured by some quality standards of chauvinism and control of information inside Entrecard. The human qualities of the site are totally turned into a profit market, obssessed with ratios and economic figures, while the true nature of blogging intentions and the beauty of spreading info is tottaly mishaped and disfigured.

So, i will not beg, so i will not follow as a religion the drop and drop limited freedom system, so this site is:

ENTRECARD FREE! NO DROPS!

NO SUBMISSION!

Some post blogs in the internet around the subject:

Nearfield - Reúne 50000 Dollars dos fãs

noreply@blogger.com (Metricks) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:26:00 PDT

O grupo musical português "Nearfield" foi o primeiro projecto Lusófono a conseguir reunir a soma final de 50000 dollars no site www.sellaband.com . O dinheiro foi obtido através dos fans, que adquiriram parcelas de dez dollars cada e correspondentes a um futuro cd cada. O Valor adquirido pelo grupo musical permitirá que a banda grave um CD com condições profisisonais e de dimensão internacional.

O site Sellaband apresenta um modelo que permite que os fans (believers) comprem partes de 10 dollars de um futuro CD de uma banda. Partilhando assim o sucesso, e ainda podendo retirar dividendos monetários através da venda de partes(cds), percentagem sobre os downloads das bandas em que tenham investido, e ainda um parcial da publicidade mostrada nas páginas dos artistas em que tenham investido.

Já atingiram o objectivo dos 50000 dollars, um total de 26 bandas de várias nacionalidades, mas o projecto "Nearfield" foi o primeiro de origem Lusófona a conseguir tal feito!

Myspace? Forged Plays?

noreply@blogger.com (Metricks) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 05:36:18 PDT

It is not new for a lot of us, that the credibility of a giant can be shaked by the lack of honor and ethics of the people. For quite a while, inumerous services have been arising to provide artists at myspace the possibility to increase dramatically their plays, number of page visits and friends, only for some dollars.

But as it was obvious, this kind of services were, and are, violating the term of service of Myspace, so those who used this abuse policy of promotion, and still are using, for sure will not be as happy, as they were when they thought they were climbing in the charts.

As you can read in this quote of an answer done by Myspace crew member in a topic around this subject in the www.donewating.com blog.

And i shall quote:

By Myspace Security on Feb 4, 2008 | Reply

Hello, this is myspace security analyst Mark Kasinowski. We are aware that bands are beginning to use fake play generator bots and scripts which strictly violates our users Terms of Servers.

We have now started sending Music Abuse letters to bands who we are investigating. We delete approximately 14,000 band accounts per day using our automated tools we’ve developed to detect artificial increases in plays views and friends. We are currently compiling a list of sites who provide these types of services.

We strong urge Bands to carefully consider whether losing all their Myspace friends and account information is worth the $50.00 software that allows you to cheat your plays.

In addition, we have now implemented a policy where once your band url is detected as cheating and deleted, we block that band url from ever being used again.

We are working activity to discourage bands from using fake bots and scripts to falsely inflate profile activity. IF you have purchased a software package that claims to increase plays or views, your account will be detected and your band url banned from future use.

So for the records, Metricks numbers at Myspace:

There are no hundred thousand plays, but for sure no risk of being deleted...

Euro Pop 2008 - Freaky Trigger

noreply@blogger.com (Metricks) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:16:14 PDT

Freaky Trigger is a United Kingdom Blog community with a respectful number of users that discuss music and all parallels related.
Europop 2008 is a competitive pop tournament: 16 brave players have each volunteered to ‘manage’ one of the countries involved in the Euro 2008 football tournament. This involves finding MP3 tracks from each country and pitting them in one-on-one matches with tracks from another country, in the same format and order as the ‘real’ competition. This one is designed to end at around the time the real one does, in June.

The Europop manager of the portuguese team, did a great job leading the Portuguese Nationl team of Music reaching the Semi-Finals (much better than the real soccer team, that only reached the quarter-finlas of the Euro 2008).

The selected musics selected by the manager of the Portuguese Team were:

PORTUGAL: Madredeus - “A Andorinha De Primavera”
PORTUGAL: The Weatherman - “About Harmony”
PORTUGAL: Metricks - “Postcard To Outerspace”
PORTUGAL: Buraka Som Sisteme - “Sound Of Kudoro”
PORTUGAL: Expander and Thinkfreak - “Trackum”

Thank you Portuguese Team Manager, and to all the users Freaky Trigger web site!

DESTAQUE|Internacional On-Line Music Awards

Os Internacional On-Line Music Awards (IOMA) existem desde 2004 e são prémios atribuídos a artistas independentes do mundo inteiro em 30 categorias diferentes; os próprios artistas são os vontantes estando a organização a cargo da companhia canadiana R Cat.
Com mais de 30 mil boletins de votação recebidos, a edição deste ano dos IOMA volta com a intenção de sempre, a de divulgar artistas desconhecidos do público em geral mas bem conhecidos dos habituais frequentadores das muitas OMD (On-Line Music Distributors - ArtistLaunch, Mixposure, Purevolume, Audiostreet.net, Myspace, etc.) espalhadas por essa rede fora.
No dia de Natal conheceu-se a lista final de nomeados e vencedores deste ano (este ano ao mesmo tempo, por questões tecnológicas). Com diversas nomeações de artistas lusos ao longo dos três anos da iniciativa, como Mário Raposo, Carlos Wilde, JD Void, GaiaBeat e especialmente Metricks, tem sido exactamente este último aquele que melhores resultados tem alcançado, tendo já mesmo vencido dois prémios. O primeiro, no ano passado, o prémio de "Best Electronic Artist" e já neste, venceu também o de "Best Instrumental - Soundtrack" com "Memoire des Temps Perdu"..
Parabéns...
