So this could be my first post almost entirely in Finnish. When it’s impossible to describe… My mother tongue is there to help.

Paola haastoi mut (heti tuntuu oudolta kirjottaa suomeksi) vastaamaan kysymyksiinsä blogissaan ja koska en oo koskaan ennen tehny tämmösiä nii päätin et kerranki voisin olla vuorovaikutuksessa muidenkin bloggareiden kanssa. :D Eli siis Paulan blogi: Omaa etsimässä ja linkki kysymyksiin.

1. Milloin olet viimeksi ollut lavatansseissa?
Jos nää tarkottaa niinku sellasia “nuorisobileitä” tai bileitä ni viimeks olin Klaukkalassa poikaystävän kaverin synttäreillä noin kolme viikkoa sitten. Vieraat ei ollu ihan nuoria kylläkään, vanhempia ku minä kaikki. Siis no ehk mun poikaystävä oli nuori, koska nuorensin sitä? :D Ja musa oli kuin lavatansseissa ja ehkä iästä johtuen en tuntenu biisejä yhtään. En tykänny. Musasta siis siellä.

2. Mikä on lempparisi Disneyn leffoista?
Kääk! tää o vaikee. Oon kattonu Disneyn leffoja paljon, mutta en muista nyt kauheesti niistä mitää. Siitä on aikaa, kun olen viimeks katsellut. Mutta mun pitkäaikasin suosikkini on Maija Poppanen, vaikka en olekkaan isompana sitä katsellut. Lapsena olen katsonut sen yli 10 kertaa.

3. Millainen kirja olisit?
Tarkotakko sisältöö vai ulkonäköö? Olen tositarina kiusaamisesta, ja kirjassa on sellanen blondi tyttö just niin kuin mä. Kirja loppuu siihen kun se kävelee maantien vartta eteenpäin ja ajattelee sitä kuinka kesä on kaunis.

4. Jos saisit vieraan ulkomailta, mihin veisit hänet asuinpaikkakunnallasi?
Mun takapihalle kesällä. Vaikka en siellä usein olekaan.

5. Mitä ruokaa osaat tehdä parhaiten?
Tortilloja ja jauhelihakastiketta :D <3

6. Koska olet viimeksi puhaltanut saippuakuplia?
Ehkä ykkösellä lukiossa ku mun kaveri oli hulluna niihin :D

7. Entä milloin viimeksi kiipesit puuhun?
Vaikea… Kööpenhaminassa Toukokuun alussa, mutta se oli valekiipeäminen. :)

8. Ensimmäinen laulu, joka tulee mieleesi ala-asteen musiikkitunneilta?
On laiva valmiina lähtöön – 6-luokalta päästessäni alemmat luokat lauloivat tätä meille hyvästiksi, kun seisoimme edessä kevätjuhlassa. Silloin valehtelin itselleni, että olin liikuttunut.

9. Kuka oli lempi-Spaissarisi?
Spice Girls? Ööö. :D En tiedä. Vai tarkotatko kappaletta kenties? Sit se on 2 become 1.

10. Kumpi kuuluu sinun sanavarastoosi, vihta vai vasta? (vai joku muu?)
Jännää en ole tätä miettinyt. Sanoisin että vihta.

11. Rukoiletko mieluummin yksin vai yhdessä?
Yksin, koska en uskalla avata suutani yhteisrukouksissa.

So now in English! Summer has come and my last exam was today!!! I’m free (almost)! And now I may have time to blog! I was in Copenhagen and I have few pics from there.

Niin etelä ja pohjoinen kaikki meitä varten on

Pelko, silti kaunis
Kun sydän pakahtuu
Kuuntelen kauniita lauluja
Ne kertovat kaikista, sinusta ja niistä, jotka kulkivat ristiin rastiin kanssani
Toiset eivät enää voineet kulkea, koska se sattui
Toiset linnuiksi muuttuivat
Toiset hiipuivat matkalla

Ja mä en halua tietää
ensimmäinen eksä joka ei halua takasin
ensimmäinen joka aikoo selvitä
sillä mä en ole valmis olemaan heikko
en ole valmis olemaan se, joka jää rannalle
minä en ole

kun menneisyys, jonkun muun tai oma
when the past hunts you down when it feels like you’re on the ground painat pään
not the first not the last perhaps still so close
ich bin die erste und die letzte alle gleichzeitig
trotzdem liebe ich dich
älskar du mig?
Ich werde die eine einzig sein
heute und morgen
in the past and in the future
kai sä kuulet kun huudan
wenn ich alles für dich verlasse
für dich allein

damn damn damn what I would do to have you here near

ich lebe, weil du mein Atem bist
bin müde, wenn du das Kissen bist,
bin durstig, wenn du mein Wasser bist
du bist für mich mein 2. Ich
ich lebe (Ich Lebe – Christina Stürmer)

This is the way you left me
I’m not pretending
No Hope No Love No Glory No happy ending
This is the way that we love,
Like it’s forever.
Then live the rest of our live, but not together.

Little inspiration. This is a very very random post. But I don’t know what got in to me, but the main thing is that I finally blogged. :D BTW my shirt is the same color as my blog. :P

‎’Cause baby, you’re a firework ♥
Come on, show ‘em what you’re worth
Make ‘em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

HmusicK

Rakastan sinua

Olet kuin kaunis tähti taivaalla
Sanat eivät riitä ikinä kuvaamaan
Nukut rauhallisesti
Ei ole enää rajoitteita, kipuja
Siirtynyt
Kaipaus silti jäi, en voi sulkee syliin, itkeä vain onnen kyyneleitä

You are like a beautiful star on the sky
Words are never enough to describe
You sleep peacefully
There are no more limitations, pains
Moved
Missing is still left, can’t hold you in my arms, only cry happy tears

My dear friend Ayodeji Olatubosun (who I have even blogged about) died on Monday 27th of February 2012 at the age of 34. I lost a brother, a true friend and a mentor, but I’m sure he’s rejoicing now in heaven. I miss him dearly and it is so sad to see him go. It’s been a month now. Even though no one can replace him in my heart and it’s heavy on my heart, I know he wants me to carry on and continue his legacy here on this earth. To see how God worked trough him was amazing and I’ll never forget him. I love you. Words fail me… You know my heart. Out there.

Precious in the sight of LORD is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15

Dear readers, so many things have happened in these past two months and I’m not going to tell you about them now. Maybe I’ll let some pictures do the talking for me and I’m fine. Just very busy with school. So busy that writing has been so much less.

Wanhojen tanssit 2012

Finnish tradition where the oldest students in the second grade (while third graders head for their final exams) in high school have a pram. (Which reminds me that Ayo was there in my pram.)

Muistoja/Memories

Sä alat vihdoin viimein käsittää ettet sä tarvii lupaa keneltäkään
Oot liian kaunis häpeemään etkä voi yhtään mitään menettää
Joten anna mennä joten anna mennä
Kaunis rietas onnellinen

You start to finally realize that you don’t need a permission from anyone
You are too beautiful to be ashamed and you can’t loose anything
So let go so let go
Beautiful Wild Happy

Kulta, inspiroit mua jatkamaan jo alkanutta matkaa. Kiitos ku oot auttanu mun vaikeiden aikojen yli. Oot ihana <3

In this post I wanted to share some music videos that I like a lot. Some of the songs and videos are very touching.

DeStorm – Finally Free ft. Talib Kweli

Love it when he sings and then changes to rapping. He can do both really well! :)

Keep trying to get me (keep trying to get me)
But I’m gonna be bold (I’m gonna be bold)
Even when (even when)
I’m tired and alone (I’m tired and alone)
Can somebody help me (can somebody help me)
I’m down on my knees (I’m down on my knees)
And once I get up (once I get up)
I’m finally free

This is one of the songs I really love and this video’s great also.

Legit ft. Arielle Kresich – A Nigger in Northface

This is a real song. A lot different from the usual songs you hear. This video is also so so sad. This video has taken the issue into another level to make an impact. Very beautiful song. Very touching and deep. This rapper and the singer are totally underrated.

Here are the lyrics.

Aduke – Hear The Voice

Aduke made this song around the rise of people in Nigeria to protest against things that are generally messed up in Nigeria. (Mostly they were angry with the fuel subsidy removal and nothing changed.) Love Naija.

Ego – Fall in Love

Every time I’m with you (I’m in love)
Boy I really want you to (show me love)
Tell me what can I do (to be loved)
Don’t be such a heartbreaker can’t we…..fall in love

Gateway Worship – You Are Good

I love this song. One of the greatest praising songs ever. Jesus is the King.

your kindness leads me to repentance
your goodness draws me to my knees
your mercy calls me to be like you
your favor is my delight

you are good, you are good, you are good
and your mercy is forever
you are good, you are good, you are good
and your mercy is forever

Exam week going on and I’ve been just so sleepy all the time. I got my birthday party dress today and I love it. I might be posting pictures of me in the dresses more here. I’t just that it’s really cold here right now so normally I can’t even wear them. Next night we might even have -27 C :S that’s crazy.

I’m going to Helsinki on Friday after an exam week and it’ll be awesome. ♥

Emotional blackout.

My heart goes out to the ones who lost their lives in Nigeria bombings. Fear should not catch us. God Bless Nigeria. And I’m part of this.

How can they say that we are finished
We have just begun

We are the future
We are the dream
We are the nation
We are part of this

The future is here
The future is here
Goodbye yesterday

I am the future
I am the dream
I am the nation
I am part of this

Yes I am so amazing
That’s the least l shall be
At the heart of the nation changing history

So get out of the way
Out of the way Of the land of our dreams
We are the nation we are part of this
(Some of the Lyrics)

Tears are running
I don’t know where I’m going
Maybe I’ll reach somewhere
It’s like the edge is around there

since the words are not enough
to express how I feel
I have no choice
walking
Need my time to think of this
one love, one choice…

my heart was overjoyed when you came into my life
love can be my friend, my sweetest lover but also my greatest enemy
that’s how I see it
my heart desires you into my life
my sense says otherwise
that’s how I’m mixed

torn apart between what I want and need
in the end the choice is easy
just how I’m going to take this load
when my choice in the end means it’ll torn me upside down inside out
when the sweetness would come late so late

I Just Want To Have You Here Because I Know You’re My Life

Love, HmusicK

Happy New Year 2012! Onnellista uutta vuotta 2012! Hope it’s a blessed one.  

You must be wondering what the ‘New York’ is doing in the title, well I really love the song “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys and it is a good song and it’s somehow related to New Year. :)

Yeah, I know I’m a little bit late, but better late than never. =) My holiday has been great so far, just pretty fast and tomorrow I will be going to Helsinki for a sleepover to see a friend who I met HERE. I got new hearing aids today. The old ones were about 5 years old. (If you want to read about them you can do it here.) Yesterday I was in the movies with a friend and we watched The Darkest Hour in 3D (3D is awesome). The Darkest Hour was nice action movie, not so scary but cool.

I have been shopping a little *gröhm*  from the sales and got these awesome shoes:

I bought this from a shop called Skopunkten in Koskikeskus. I also got some great jeans and lovely dresses. Maybe someday I will post pictures of me when I’m wearing them. :)

Learned that I will be okay
That somehow I will make it trough the day
And the only battle I really have to win
Is me, myself and I
Selfish me
My biggest enemy is me myself
I am stronger than me, myself and I

by HmusicK

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

It will be an amazing year and I’m looking forward to this year. Very important year. Hope to blog soon again! :)

PS. Thank you Jesus for another year. God Bless Finland and Nigeria.

Merry Christmas! 

How time flies. It has been an incredible, but very tiring year and now there is finally some time to breathe and relax, at least for a while.

This Christmas was a little different for us, because we had one friend over for Christmas Eve. Usually we spend it just with the family only. In Finland Xmas Eve is more important and that is when the gifts will be given for example.

Movies I got for Christmas presents were Mary Poppins, Jos rakastat (If You Love) and Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2.

When I was little I used to watch Mary Poppins a lot. I thought it was an awesome movie.

Jos rakastat is a Finnish movie and it is like a musical and the guy is Finnish-Nigerian. I think that movie is pretty good and different and I plan to watch it together with friends.

And Kung Fu Panda was a surprise. :) Not really fan of animations but I think I will watch them. Actually I watched Toy Story 3 a while back and it was AMAZING I just cried all trough when I was watching it.

Yesterday there was some crazy day in Nigeria. There were at least four bomb crashes attacking Christmas churches. Islamic Boko Haram movement is behind these attacks and they want strict Sharia law to Nigeria. So far Christians are not replying by force, but issues are not properly addressed, which can lead to devastating consequences. Last year there was only one bomb but this year it has gone worse. We just hope and pray that the situation does not get worse. I worry for my loved ones in Nigeria. We just hope that a war won’t start out of this because it is possible.

In other related news Happy Boxing Day! Hope you got great gifts as well and had a great time on Christmas with friends and family.

I can’t spend another christmas without my baby
I can’t take another christmas cuz girl you’re my lady
I can’t spend another christmas without my baby
You know what, and baby I’m coming home, and baby I’m coming home
So baby I’m coming home, so baby just me and you

PS. Kisses and hugs to ♥ and others! :D

I read a wonderful book called “Half of A Yellow Sun” by a Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for my English course. Reading it was a great experience in the mist of school books and no time. I got also a good grade of the essays I wrote in our English exam about the books. I wrote three essays in the exam (you can imagine how we had to hurry).

“Half of a Yellow Sun” is based on the three-year Biafran war in Nigeria in the 1960s. The story has been written from the point of view of three persons (the narrator changes in every chapter) Olanna, Richard and Ugwu. Olanna is a young woman, who abandons her life of privilege to live with her lover, the professor Odenigbo. Ugwu is a houseboy from a poor village, who works for the professor. The third one, Richard is a white Englishman, who is desperately in love with Olanna’s twin sister. When the horrifying war starts, will their lives change forever in ways that they never expected…

Biafra: a secessionist state in the south-eastern part of Nigeria that existed from May 1967 to January 1970. Its inhabitants were mostly Igbo people (an ethnic group) who led the secession due to economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions among the various peoples of Nigeria. The creation of the new country was one of the complex causes for the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War. After two-and-a-half years of war, during which a million civilians had died in fighting and from famine, Biafran forces agreed to a ceasefire with the Nigerian Federal Military Government (FMG), and Biafra was reintegrated into Nigeria.

One essay of the three (154 words): “Half of a Yellow Sun” wasn’t my first book, I’ve read in English, but it certainly was the thickest with its 433 pages. Reading books in English is like reading any book, because English could almost be my second mother tongue. Still, reading in a foreign language is always useful and it broadens your vocabulary. You can’t learn a language unless you constantly develop it by speaking , hearing, and listening to it.

I’m very happy for having read this book, because I’m interested in the country which this book is based on. The book gave me a whole new perspective of Nigeria’s history. I also think that the book was a masterpiece and the press seems to agree with me.

Hopefully, when I have time to read, I’ll start reading more books in English and especially novels based on true events. This experience definitely encourages me to widen my selection of books in the future.

To Conclude:

“Half of a Yellow Sun” is a genius book. I’m not afraid to praise it as a Classic of the 21st century. Adichie truly can create wonders with the simplicity of English words. The feelings of the protagonists and events are carefully explained with a passion. The horrors of the war cause cold ripples to our spine. In this book also a order matters. The book has been divided to three parts, and it’s very important to read them in an order (like you wouldn’t :p). That gives a great feeling to the book.

This book is also based on real life events, so you can actually spot some history in there. And if you don’t know much about Nigeria, this can be one way to learn something about that country. Nigeria is personally very close to me. A great fictional history preview. I highly recommend this book to everyone! 

I strongly lived with this book as I was reading it, and that is a sign of an awesome book.

My Dear December, it’s soon going to be Christmas. Let us praise; our savior has born once again! And soon this wonderful year has come to and end.

You take me where I’ve never been
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling

Work harder. Study harder. Everything’s being tighten up in these days. It’s like you have to have strength to do more and more, when in fact people haven’t gotten any stronger over time.  We can’t do more than we are capable of, but working and school life don’t seem to accept this. Why does it have to be this way?

The world is so hectic in these days. The news spread in matter of seconds and knowledge is one click away. I’m in the second grade of high school now and when I look at the third graders (third year is the final year) I just shake my head. Most of the time they seem very passive, tired and exhausted. Only a quarter of students go to University straight after high school. The others either have a gap year or they didn’t get into any school. I have a  few friends who have had a gap year, and they have told me that they just want to rest and maybe work and get some money. A gap year can extend to many years, because high school sucks all the energy.

Why is it that, when you get older, everything around you tightens up a notch? Is it because they want to prepare for the working life? Or is it because they want the best for you? Is it because of the responsibility you have to learn to carry?

Now you may think that she is just lazy and that she just doesn’t want to grow up. Well, it’s not true. I actually think it is important to take responsibility over your school work. But I don’t think it is right to squeeze everyone like this, and just to see who will survive. What do we learn about this all though: Life is a competition.

Tuesday November, 29th: this semester’s second exam week is over and I have only this afternoon and evening to breathe. In other countries people have like one-week holiday after exams, but No Not in Finland.

Wednesday November, 30th: new period (3.) starts.

BTW, Christmas is almost here. I don’t even see it coming. I was like huh, what Xmas? No snow, yet. Happy run up to Xmas!

Happy (still not quite)
Loved (love me a little bit more)
Appreciated (make me feel special)
Alive (hanging on)
Worthy (making a difference)
Beautiful (if genes always followed the plan I could be the last blonde)
Funny (I guess you were forced into appreciating my jokes)

I’m everything I am because you loved me

THE BEST SONG <3

My new jam!

This is so touching video and an amazing song.

Fell in love on the first play. A great song.

I love this song already. Love his voice<3

This song has so much sentimental value. In honor to someone.

I love you! Special song. Love the video.

You can take my life but not my soul.

Everyone who knows me somehow know that I’m not really a fan of rock music or bands. Lately I have been pretty bored with my playlists so I asked for help. I was introduced to a band called Mayday Parade. From the first song I heard (Terrible Things), I was hooked.

This band has awesome lyrics and they’re special. Nothing like the dance songs of these days that has no meaning.

So I’ll sing a melody
And hope to God she’s listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I’ll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right

They have released three studio albums and two EPs. A Lesson in Romantics (2007), Anywhere But Here (2009) and Mayday Parade (2011) were the albums. Tales Told by Dead Friends (2006) and Valdosta (2011) are the EPs. Valdosta The songs have long titles also which is unusual for example ‘If You Can’t Live Without Me, Why Aren’t You Dead Yet?‘ (one of my favs) and ‘Without the Bitter the Sweet Isn’t as Sweet‘.

I don’t have all the albums yet, but I will get them. My favorite songs are ‘I swear, This time I Mean It‘, ‘Miserable At Best’ and ‘Terrible Things’.

Kandi has a great voice and I’m so in love with her music right now. Her newest album (2010) Kandi Koated is great and I love songs: Haven’t Loved Right, Leave U, How Could You… Feel My Pain and Leroy Jones. Specially Leroy Jones’ lyrics are very touching…

I read on wikipedia that she has a child as well. She deserves more attention and more listeners because her voice is amazing. Kandi is a very beautiful woman.

Cause I’m not alone (not alone)
and if im the woman you really and truly want (truly want),
then you gotta love my child like you love your own.
Is there enough love inside you, can you handle (handle)?
To love em’ like you love your own (love em’ like you love your own)..
Just like Leroy Jones.

It connects. It’s a global phenomenon. It’s music. There is music in every culture, in every nation and it’s a part of people’s daily lives. Throughout history it has been something which has brought joy to people in hard times.

That is what it means to me. Music is a cure for when I’m down, and a joy for my happiest days. It’s part of my life and can express my feelings when my own words are not enough. There’s a song to every feeling I feel and I’ve yet to find them all.

I listen to versatile music but sometimes, I have seasons when I listen to just one particular band or artist. I love Rhythm and Blues, Rap and Pop. My all time favorite is Akon, because I love his voice and his beat cheers me up. When it comes to lyrics, I think for example Sheryl Crow, as she has some touching and down-to-earth songs.

One important thing about music is that it connects people. I have found awesome friends thanks to music. I joined a music website where I found many great friends. There we can share our thoughts about music and life.

Music helps me to relax. Certain songs bring memories which either make me cry or happy. Music inspires me and it can sometimes describe my feelings better than I could ever do with words. I love music. This last part was written while I was listening to ‘It’s Not Over’ by Daughtry.

Written by HmusicK

Hello! I have been super busy and haven’t had time to attend any interviews or music stuff. Now I am just posting out some great music videos I love.

A rapper with versatile music taste and open mind is ready to show the world what he has got. Who is THE NEW MILLENIUM MAN? Meet RoQy TyRaiD.

When I mailed my questions to RoQy TyRaiD, an artist introduced by William from DmentGroup, I had only a reference and a song. Well the reference got me interested in this young man with ambitious goals but still very down to earth. I asked him questions about everything from his music to the world’s peace.

Jacob Raiford is a 24-year-old rapper born in San Diego, California but now living in Phoenix, Arizona. He is better known by his artist name RoQy TyRaiD. His stage name has not always been the same though. His name was originally J RoQ which was his nickname given when he was a kid. As he grew up he wanted to move on and felt the name did not represent him anymore. Besides there were many artists with similar name. So after a show he was chilling with his dude and he suggested “Tirade” because that was actually what RoQy was doing a lot. So he agreed to stick with RoQy in the front and added TyRaiD to the end.

Music has always been part of RoQy’s life specially during the high school. He started to rap with his fellows and to keep it real they took it very serious. They used to compete with other kids from across the valley and meet them at the mall and parties. Later on he decided to try his hands on with recording and it stuck with him. After with only two months of recording his men Filthy Rich and J Dub took him out to DJ Khalil’s studio on LA. They loved his music and that was when RoQy TyRaiD found out his purpose.

RoQy TyRaiD finds his inspiration to make music from people gravitating towards real and his overall love of music. He describes that his relation with music is almost like a relationship. He expresses his feelings trough music and his inspirations change from time to time. One of the new things what inspires him is the love that he receives from other hip-hop people. He doesn’t have to try to be “accepted” and he comes as he is. Most of the part he is welcome to contribute the culture and it is a beautiful thing he thinks.

He describes his kind of music like this: “Realirap, everyday stuff. Dope beats and rhymes explaining the unexplainable. My own form of consciousness. For the open mind is truely conscious.”

This rapper has a surprising music taste. He listens a lot of music outside of his genre. He has found an appreciation to Jazz. He also loves various forms of rock and even classical music (he was forced to listen to it as a kid but he actually glad about it nowadays). He mentions his favorite bands/artists as Rage Against The Machine, Coldplay, The Prodigy, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield.

He does not have a particular role model and says we all learn from one another and does not believe in “best” artist because he or she would have to be completely flawless which is an impossibility.

The New Millenium Man

Now to the music. RoQy TyRaiD has dropped out singles called I Quit and Woosah. But his mixtape THE NEW MILLENIUM MAN WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY! He talks about is as a return of the mixtape. Lately people have not been abiding rules of mixtape and his purpose is to go completely overboard. He does not do covers or want match to the original song. He wants to lead as an example. Only exceptions are Woosah by Dn3, I Quit by Rie$go and Podium by The Baron Boys. As to “Put out some completely groundbreaking joints over many joints that have inspired me.”

To quote him:

“You see. I have gone through my transformation from J RoQ to something unforseen even in my own eyes. RoQ’y TyRaiD. I was already a threat to these wack sheep before but I’d like to show them just how useless they are in this New Era we are approaching. Dope Beats & Rhymes are coming back!  Real Hip-Hop Heads stand up!”

Get The New Millenium Man here!

I think RoQy TyRaiD brings an important theme out when he talks about the downside of music industry. He is tired of the commercial dominance. There should be an equal balance between the real hip hop and the “pop”. Not in numbers but in vibe. He hopes that people would start to appreciate music again. He says that his generation is one of the last youth who cared about the beat and rhyme.

He sees his home girls whining about the garbage out there while their little sisters are bumping the latest favor of the week. “We have to save our culture, as cliche as it sounds. And that doesn’t mean sitting around and talking about it. It’s putting forth goodness.. that dope!” he sums up.

RoQy talks about his supporters and fans with soft words and tells they’re very dear to him. He has had all kind of advises and they have helped him a lot. And he tells that his feedback has been very positive and that they understand his purpose… gates are open for him.

When Mister RoQy TyRaiD is not making music he chills, goes to gym, watches movies and reads books. Currently he is reading The Book Of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi. His favorite sport is American football and second is basketball. He likes action movies, documentaries and comedies and he names Children Of Men, Batman Begins, Dark Night and Matrix Trilogy to his favorite movies.

Do you have a girlfriend?

“Hahaha naaaa.   Takes a lot to intrigue me enough to place that title on someone.  There was a little something but.. ya know how that works!  I’m open.”

What would you call a great day?

“Hmm…  being productive with music..  nice overcast.. and chilling with the girl and making her smile.  Yeah. That.”

What is your favorite quote?

” If ignorance is bliss, then wipe the smile off my face! ” – Rage Against The Machine

Do you think music can heal?

“ABSOLUTELY! Music is therapeutic!”

Do you think that music can help make world peace? How?

“I think it can contribute to it.  We live based off rhythm.  Your own heart has a beat. Everything is to a specific tone or rhythm so it can be used as a tool to sync minds. Just as it is, today to destroy. So yes in a sense.  We just have to accept the message and of course, it has to be the right song. With the right message. At the RIGHT time.

What is the coolest thing about you people hardly notice?

“Sense of humor.  I think certain people perceive me as being this pissed off guy most of the time, because I’m passionate with my opinions.  So it kinda backfires and certain people don’t notice my humor… which can be a little dry at times, I won’t lie.. haha!”

Iyaz – He stole my heart

This is one of my favorite songs from the album and I love it so much. I also really like the video. Iyaz is just amazing new R&B singer and I enjoye his voice and rhythms. I love to dance to these beats. SO BIG.

ELDEE – Loving Naija rap

I am so into Nigeria and Naija music. I just love this video and song. E go better. I also love Pidgin. And the video tells about Nigeria well. Good People… Great Nation. Great Potential.

David Guetta – The Best DJ

David Guetta is an amazing DJ. He does great music with cool artist like Kelly and Akon. Kelly’s voice is so strong in this one. She sings beautifully. This song could be I Will Always Love You 2000th Century style. Can’t wait to hear more.

Taio Cruz – A Jam

I love his songs. But his best tracks are pretty unknown. Here is one good joint. Ludacris in this version too.

This is a review of Nokia N8. Got it from WOM/World Nokia for a three-week-trial on January. Adorable pictures coming up…

NOTE: I’m sorry about the delay. This review is six months late because I’ve been very busy and tired with school and haven’t had time to write. I started this review back in January and I finished it now on June. Some things may have been updated and improved on N8. I may have forgotten some important points too. But better late than never right?

N8 – Design

N8 has a simple design: it is a big, one peace touchscreen device with few buttons. At first I doubted that it would be very slippery to hold. Thankfully I realized that it actually fitted my hand pretty well and there had been only few times when it has almost flown off my hand. Although I doubt that others with different shape of hands might have trouble with that. I have held iPhone 3 (which surface is very smooth and slippery) before and compared to it N8 is much more comfy to hold.

In the front of the device N8 has a Menu key. The position of the menu key is a bit uncomfortable, because it is so down on the device. Holding the device with one hand and trying to reach the menu button with your thumb might cause you a dangerous situation (my thumb is kind of short though). When I want to press the Menu button I have to hold the device with other hand and press it with another. The screen is a finger print and dirt magnet.

On the right side of the device there are Camera, lock and volume keys. Care has to be taken when using the dedicated camera button because pressing it to hard may cause the phone to shake and make the camera loose focus. Locking the device is fast and the surface of the button is a bit rough so it was easy to slide. No complains about volume keys. The volume rocker can be used while screen is locked unlike on E72 and N97 Mini.

On the left side there are Micro SD memory card (up to 48 GB) and SIM card slots. Adding SIM card is much easier on N8 since you don’t have to open the device and add it under the battery.

On the back N8 has a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Optics. As you can see you can’t easily remove the cover to see the battery. N8 is a first Nokia phone which you can’t replace battery on your own. N8 has a BL-4D 1200 mAh Li-Ion battery. Battery was not particularly great. It lasted as long as it lasts in a normal smart phone. The device didn’t heat up though during charging and the battery did last longer than on both E72 and N97 Mini.

N8 – Usage

The operating system on N8 is Symbian ^3. Touch screen of the N8 is much much better than in N97 Mini. It was smooth and usable. Getting used to the touch screen took much longer than I thought. I love hardware keyboards so that can be reason why I never really got used to typing with touch screen. Even after three weeks I was slow with text messages and it frustrated me. I didn’t even tweet as much as I did with other phones. This is my personal view. I believe people who have fast fingers and have handled touch devices before can find N8′s screen easy to handle.

Touch screen of the phone can turn 180 degrees and sometimes it was very slow to turn.

Texting

I love the conversation view you can have on N8. This is a feature I miss. I have E72 and I wish I could have this on it too.

Music

You can’t search music from the library but sliding the list is cool and easy. No complains about the music player.

Browsing And Connection

The browser on N8 is pretty good and viewing sites is easy on the big screen. At home on wifi worked fine. But at school browser refused to work and the connection failed. I tried it around the building and nothing helped. My friend was using the wifi on her phone (Nokia 5630 XpressMusic) also and hers worked fine.

Applications

I used Gravity and Nimbuzz. Chatting with N8 is not fluent because A. You can’t see incoming messages while you’re trying to type because the keyboard fills the whole screen. B. Because if you’re slow to type you’re always behind in the conversation. Unfortunately Skype isn’t available for N8 (or at least it is not working well on it). Gravity was nice on N8.

Camera

Camera on N8 is 12 megapixels which is huge for a phone. However taking pictures on N8 is challenging if your hand isn’t steady. I didn’t have time to take too much pictures with the phone but I got some good and clear shots with it. I would definitely want to carry around a phone with this good quality camera. Pictures taken with N8 can sometimes be as good as photos taken with system cameras.

N8 – Thoughts And Conclusion

Good old Symbian N8 is a great camera phone. Taking pictures with this phone requires some practice and steady hands. It is not a business phone but it is not a social media phone either like N97 Mini was. N8 is a nice multimedia phone with HDMI. It can play almost any video format and has a lot of memory for movies example. You can shoot HD video and send it to TV from phone via HDMI. In my opinion youtubers and everyone who enjoys shooting videos anywhere should consider this phone. Personally this phone wouldn’t work for me because it doesn’t match to my needs. I’m happy with my E72 for now. :)

Again I have a new device on my hands… N8! Plus some extra equipment: Nokia Bluetooth headset BH-905i.

So N8 is my third device from WOM/World Nokia. This time I also got some extra: Nokia Bluetooth headset BH-905i. I have used N8 for ten days now and it’s time for unpacking post. As usual I will write a review of the phone in the end of the period.

My first device was E72 which did not have a touch screen and was with qwerty keyboard. Second was N97 Mini with touch screen and qwerty. Now I have a N8 with touch screen only.

I have now two devices: N8 and the headset and in the end of the next week I decide will I write separate reviews. But here’s the unpacking in pictures:

Nokia N8

N8 package contained Nokia N8 mobile computer, Nokia Battery BL-4D (which, as far I have discovered, can’t be taken easily out from the N8), Nokia Connectivity Cable CA-179, Nokia Stereo Headset WH-701, Nokia Compact Travel Charger AC-15, Nokia Adapter Cable for HDMI CA-156, Nokia Adapter Cable for USB OTG CA-157 and a Quick Start Guide.

Nokia Bluetooth headset BH-905i

BH-905i package (called Nokia Carrying Case CP-298) contained Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-905, Nokia Audio Cable CA-143U with 3,5mm Nokia AV connector (~1,2m), Nokia Extension Audio Cable CA-144U (~1,7m), Nokia AV Adapter AD-52 for 2.5 mm Nokia AV, Nokia Audio Adapter AD-63 for standard 3.5 mm jack, Nokia Adapter AD-71 for airplane, Nokia Adapter AD-70 for 6.3 mm home stereo and Nokia Travel Charger AC-5.

Looking forward to the review! More Nokia posts coming up soon.

This is a review of Nokia N97 Mini which I got from WOM/World Nokia for a two-week trial. Take a tour to the device with pictures…

Nokia N97 Mini – Usage and Design

When I first held Nokia N97 Mini I was impressed. The device fitted my hand perfectly and it was not heavy at all. The design of it really stood out. However it took me sometime to open the keyboard mainly because of two reasons: 1. The qwerty keyboard on my LG KS360 opens from another side and 2. The keyboard does not open smoothly. After I opened the keyboard several times I had a bit of doubt that it might pop out of the device anytime if I open it too hard.

Well the opening part did not made me hate the keyboard itself. The position of the screen is great because it has been lifted a bit from behind. The full qwerty keyboard of N97 Mini is beautiful. It is very easy to type with and you find all the buttons easily since they are like in computer keyboard. Also holding the device keyboard open is pleasant.

At first after opening the back of the device I did not know where to put my Sim card but I figured it was in the same spot than in E72. Next step was not easy though. Button for switching off and on is a bit faulty because you don’t really know does the device start or not.

Nokia N97 Mini is the first touch screen device I have ever used so the experience was new to me. I was surprised how fast I learnt to use it. After two hours I was already pretty good with it and with in couple of days I felt I had owned it two years. The screen is not the best though. I have to press objects heavy and I think the touch screen would have needed a stylus. The screen is faster to lock than in non-touch screen devises.

Nokia N97 Mini has a great camera thanks to Carl Zeiss lens. 5 MP camera takes sharp pictures and videos. The microphone is good too and records voice well. I prefer its camera over E72.

My internet status is HmusicK and that tells a lot about me. I love to listen music on the road and it is very important that the phone has a good music player. And Mini didn’t let me down there. I was able to change the tracks from the home page which was really nice. Though I found it annoying that after choosing a song I was not able to go back to the actual list to see which songs are next.

Watching YouTube with N97 Mini & Chatting – Applications

The applications tried and used were browser, Nimbuzz, Fring, Skype, Opera Mini, YouTube and Ovi (Ovi Maps too).

Browser was not as fast as in E72 but works. I tried out Opera Mini which I downloaded from Ovi. But I did not fell in love with it because I liked the default browser more even though it was slower. I found big screen and browsing great in spite of its slowness. Having a smart phone really helps when the web is needed urgently.

For chatting I used Nimbuzz and also tried Fring. Nimbuzz was great as always. It is a great application for Symbian phones. Stable and simple. I did not have any connection problems with Nimbuzz at all. However Fring took some time to find our wifi in the house.

For tweeting I also used Nimbuzz and Dabr. Nimbuzz was faster because it is the same application I used for chat.

I loved to watch YouTube with N97 Mini. Even though the screen is not too big and the quality is not like on pc it was nice to relax watching series and funny videos. I watched my favorite music videos without having to open my pc was just great experience.

Ovi did not work. Only application I was able to install with it was Opera Mini. Other applications I installed from web. When I opened it first time it asked me to upgrade so I did. I thought it would work after installing Opera but every other program did not install. I did not bother my day to reinstalling it since I did not need it.

N97 Mini – Thoughts

N97 Mini’s battery was in heavy usage while I ran chat program open all night. The battery life of Mini is bad. I don’t know how old the battery of the device is but running Nimbuzz, browsing and watching YouTube ate battery life so much that I had to charge the device every night. Also heavy usage caused the device to heat up on my hand. Using WiFi really made it hot physically.

I found N97 Mini less stable than E72 which is meant for professional use. I am not sure who this phone is meant for: it is not meant for business but it is also too expensive for young people. N97 Mini is a mini device for social networking: Facebook, MySpace, CNN, Twitter etc.

N97 Mini didn’t impress me with its skills. It impressed me with design and sexiness. It has all the external parts in shape.

I recommend Nokia N97 Mini to people who are ready to pay for a device which prize has air on it and can’t be used as a professional phone. The phone is for a person who loves to be connected all the time. Chatting with it is easy and smooth. It is a good messaging phone and does multimedia well.

Nokia N97 Mini – Last Words

I would not buy the phone because I prefer professional phones like E72. But I raise my hat to Nokia for the perfect design, good connection and great social features of Nokia N97 Mini.

HmusicK

Needed something to do before school starts… So I asked if I could get a phone for a review. This time I got a phone with a touch screen.

So I got my second device from WOM/World Nokia for a two-week trial on last Thursday. I got a black N97 Mini. I have used it seven days now and seven days to come. And in the end of the period I will write a review of the device.

NOKIA N97 MINI IN PICTURES

The package contained the phone N97 Mini, Nokia Battery BP-4D, Nokia High-Efficiency Charger AC-10, Nokia Connectivity Cable CA-101, Nokia Music Headset WH-701, User Guide and Nokia Ovi Suite.

Here are the pictures of the unboxing of Nokia N97 Mini. More Nokia posts coming up!

HmusicK

PS. I am glad to have an opportunity to review this device. Thank you, WOM/World Nokia!

So here we go again! I am going to trial my second device from WOM/World Nokia. This time the device is with touch screen…

I have never used a smart phone with a touch screen. I chose N97 Mini. It is very expensive but amazing looking device with full qwerty keyboard and Comes with music. N97 is bigger than N97 mini but both devices look the same. I think N97 has more features than this one but Mini has it all too: WLAN and music player. 8 GB internal memory is big! With 5 mega pixel camera I can take great pictures again.

And after all I wait an amazing experience with touch screen device and hopefully fall in love with it!

What are the sites I visit the most? Which sites are my favorites? Whose blog inspires me? Who has same kind of thoughts than me? My Favorite places on the web.

Tools

Twitter

Twitter is part of my everyday life and it starts and ends my day. I joined Twitter last summer and tweeting is the best way to know what is happening right now. On Twitter you can reach more people and you can use it for marketing. I haven’t started making money with it (probably never will) but I do post every blog post there to make more people see my work.

Google

Everybody knows Google. Nowadays if somebody asks me how can I contact you I reply “Google me, I am HmusicK”. I am using Google Chrome which I really love. I have to just start to type the site’s name and it would give me suggestions or direct me to search. You can have a virus by just clicking a link on Google but if it comes it is because you have a bad security system. Google is the only search I use. If Google doesn’t find it, it is not existing.

Sanakirja.org

I don’t have a perfect English yet but I am coming. When I don’t know the word I would check it from Sanakirja.org (sanakirja=dictionary). I learn every time something new when I find a new word or want to translate something from Finnish to English. All I have to do is type the name and it would recognize the language automatically almost every time.

WordPress

The platform of my blogs is WordPress. What I love about WordPress is that you can manage everything with it and it is open source. You can download it and use it as a platform to your own hosted blog. I love how I can see all my stats and edit everything. Because I blog a lot I use this tool the most. WordPress is made for me unlike Blogger or Tumblr.

Last.fm

Last.fm changed my life. It changed my whole internet presence. I invented my internet name HmusicK when I joined it. And what follows next is history. I got online friends and met the greatest persons on earth. I started to blog and found my passion. This music site is one of the best sites ever invented. Meeting new people and sharing your music is awesome. Thank you, Last.fm, for changing my life.

Vodpod

I use this video site called Vodpod to collect music videos and I blog them. You can get a great embed code and the code works. That is one of WordPress’ minus. You can only embed YouTube and Google Videos with it easily. Others don’t work. So this site is one of my tools.

YouTube
I created an account to YouTube so I can comment and rate videos which I like. I can also subscribe channels and stay more updated.

Blogs

H-K’s Blog, HmusicK, RmusicB, Photostream by HmusicK and HmusicK’s Thoughts
My blogs are my favorite places on web. I write posts, edit them and make them look just the way I like them. Although I have too many but since I don’t have own hosted blog yet I will keep these. I have been able to update them all and managing five blogs is easy because I have them all in one place.

epicSense

epicSense.net is a music blog and the best way to know what is happening in music world. I admire the design of the page. Really love the banner and clear content. There are music news and unreleased tracks.

World Star Hip Hop

WSHH is a video site. The design of the page is not the best but I can see videos which for example are not available on YouTube. WSHH has a lot of disturbing videos but when you look for the right thing you can find great music videos. I love to post videos and for example On Smash site new videos would be deleted next day which is not good.

Urban Roots

Urbanroots.tk is a music site and also the best for new discoveries. I spotted for example Jason Ray from there. He sang an amazing Drake Cover. They post new talents out. The design is nice but not that finished.

Sound-Savvy

Sound-Savvy is a community for the true fans of real music. It has album reviews, news and videos. I love the design and banner. The site has very cool album reviews which made me laugh and they are rewarded with Platinum headphones which is a genius idea. Very clear content and a lot of interesting stuff.

MY COOL

MY COOL is a Finnish music blog and brings some change since all the sites have been foreign. I follow a lot music sites and I am very aware what is happening there. This blog is an ordinary WordPress blog but as I have said it is the best platform. Finnish Ville Seinä posts also pictures and news.

UrbanGifted

UrbanGifted is also a music blog. This site has great design and funny descriptions. Music videos and tracks. And the platform is an awesome WordPress.

My Writing

My Writing is 9jaboyb‘s personal blog. My friend Adeolu writes about his experiences and thoughts. His posts impressed me when I first time landed on the page. He is an amazing writer and he speaks from heart. Those posts are like from my mouth. Good job! 1st post I loved was You are Loved, If You Only Knew.

::Seye Blogs::

I respect Seye a lot. He is a very talented person. He can sing and write. His poems touch many hearts out there. Seye Blogs is his personal blog. Those poems are very inspiring and visiting his blog give me a lot of ideas.

News

Aamulehti

Aamulehti is a newspaper in Tampere, Finland. I follow news from there and I rarely visit foreign news channel for example BBC or CNN. Sometimes more but usually it is enough for me to just follow Finnish news. I hate bad news and international news are always so negative. Aamulehti site always contains also local news.

Iltalehti

Iltalehti is a Finnish gossip newspaper. Sometimes it is nice to check up some gossip news to stay updated.

As those of you who have followed my tweets and blog may know that I got E72 for two weeks from WOMWorld/Nokia. A friend of mine volunteered to interview me about my experience with the E72.

Hi Miss HmusicK! How are you doing? And how is the E72?

Thanks I am doing great. Me and E72 have been getting to know each others nearly two weeks now and I have learned already a lot about it.

First of all, why E72?

I was looking for a Finnish phone with qwerty keyboard, WLAN, chat and music player. Actually the first device I wanted was E71 when I saw it at the store but they had released new version of it. And fortunately I was asked to do a review of a Nokia phone and I chose to go with the E72. Nokia E72 is a business phone. I have always loved professional phones. E72 is my first smart phone I have used so compared to LG KS360 it is a whole new level device. I also love big phones and the design of it looked really cool.

Cool! So what was your first impression of the phone when you first opened the box?

I was very excited and as I opened the box it was exactly the color I wanted. I grapped it in my hand and didn’t let go ever since. Haha. It fitted my hand perfectly and the design was very simple and sleek. I had always wanted everyone to see my phone… And now it was as big as I wanted. I was a bit afraid because of the tiny buttons but turned out that they were good size.

How did the E72 affect your everyday life?

E72 changed my life a lot. I was able to be connected much more than before and was able to use network also outside home. I didn’t walk anywhere without it and I even slept with it. It made me understand why people are so excited about phones. I started to also take a lot more pictures and I got to know applications available to Symbian phones. It also made me hate my LG a bit because smart phones are like small computers. I would gladly take it as a pair with my LG.

Tell us a little about features, what did you like and what did you not? The specifications of E72 is covered with details here.

I shared the qualities to seven different categories.

• APPEARANCE AND USE

Size: 114 x 58 x 10mm

E72 has a great design and particularly I love it’s metal parts. They make the phone look strong and smooth. E72 is good size for me and it fits my hand very well. It is not slippery at all. The phone is big and might not fit for everyone if you don’t like big size phones. But I personally love it.

The first thing I noticed about the keyboard was optical navigation pad. I don’t need to press to slide and browsing is fast with it. I love it because it makes moving around smooth. The phone has a full size qwerty keyboard and shortcut keys for menu, calendar, contacts and email. I actually was a bit afraid of how my fingers would fit to the small keys but turned out that I had nothing to worry about. I was able to type fast with it already second day.

• MEMORY AND POWER MANAGEMENT

The phone memory is 250 MB and E72 package contains 4GB Micro SD card (you can have up to 16 GB). No problems with memory. Battery life depended on how much I used it. I was connected all the time, browsed web a lot and listened music  player so I had to charge E72 almost daily. Though after all I was pretty happy with the battery life since I used it basically 24/7. And it was always on.

• MEDIA

E72 has everything what it is required on a smart phone nowadays. Music player (supports AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, AMR-NB and WMA) two cameras, Radio and voice recorder. All the usual stuff. It has 5 mega pixel camera with autofocus and flash and VGA camera on the front for video calls. The quality of the camera is good but not as good as normal camera. Music player was great because you were able to have songs organized either with artist, album, all songs and so on (also own playlists). Radio worked flawlessly.

• INTERNET AND CONNECTIVITY

E72 has a wireless connection, email features, bluetooth, USB and GPS. Browsing was fast and smooth with WLAN even though it ate battery a lot. I enjoyed having an email on my phone and writing an email with it. GPS worked well and my dad actually said that we wouldn’t maybe even need separate GPS since I have E72… However the thing I loved the most is the chatting capability of the phone. Which allowed me to connect to my friends via IM. I was able to be connected almost everywhere and have more time online. It also allowed me to use the memory card as a mass storage when I connect it to my PC. This comes handle as it allows me to easily transfer files to my phone from my PC other way round.

I changed the messaging language to German to get ä and ö to text messages. There was no Finnish available.

• OPERATING SYSTEM

From what I read the phone runs on Symbian S60 but I am not really an expert on smartphone OS since this is my first smartphone I have tried. From a user point of view, what hikes me the most about the phone is the endless menus and settings. Finding the right settings required hours of searching and wondering if I am ever going to get to know the phone. In the end I got fine with it but it took some effort and asking around. Also the name of the tools were changed to control panel which bothered me.

One thing I also noticed was that applications left themselves running and I spent a lot time closing them. (Normal with smart phones?)

I was also a bit frustrated with the slow startup of the device I had to press the power button for like 5 secs before the screen lights up. Even then it took some time before I got a a chance to enter my pin.

• EQUIPMENTS

I used the headphones for 30 minutes and wasn’t really impressed and changed to my own ones. I hated the shape of the wire and ear pieces didn’t fit to my ears plus they looked pretty bad. The good thing is that E72 has 3,5 mm audio connector. The pouch was not so good either. The phone almost slipped from my hand when I was trying to take it out from it.

• APPLICATIONS

I installed different applications for Symbian and smart phones. I tried Chat (Nokia), Fring, Gravity, Snaptu, Skype, Mobbler and Nimbuzz. The best chat client is definitely Nimbuzz and Last.fm scrobbler Mobbler worked well.

I would like you to answer these questions with one sentence:

1. What was your most awesome moment with the device?

Chatting with an important person middle of the night.

2. What was your most frustrating moment with the device?

My most frustrating moment with the phone was find the right settings from millions of menu views.

3. If there is anything you would like to add to the device, what is it?

I would add an x button to close applications fast, faster than I am able to close them now.

4. Would you buy an own E72?

Yes, I would buy E72 because it meets my needs and I can handle the dislikes.

Thanks HmusicK for sharing your experience about the E72. Any last words?

E72 is a great smart phone with great qualities and working applications. You can even use the device as a GPS and personalize it match to your own needs. The phone is great for working, but it also changes to a great entertainment device. There is no major mistake which would turn the user away. (I would buy a smart phone in the future.)

Thanks to WOMWorld/Nokia for giving me the opportunity to review the E72. Thanks to bigbrovar for sharing some of his symbian experience with me.

HmusicK

Hey all, I got an E72 for a two-week trial on Thursday. For me this was awesome opportunity to develop my skills as a blogger and I would get a hand on a first smart phone I’ve ever handled longer than five minutes. So here it is. It has been only a week when I got the first mail and now I have it here on my hand.

28th of April I got an email from Paul at WOMworld/Nokia:

I noticed your conversation on twitter today with @0x18fc1529 and a couple of the tweets you posted caught my eye especially.You said that you were thinking about going for something like the Nokia E72, so I checked out your blogs and saw you had done a really nice review of the LG KS360. Really nice job, with the pictures and covering all of the main features in detail!

I was wondering if you might like a 2 week trial of an E72 from WOMWorld/Nokia? or even a trial of a different device… If you’d like to discuss this in detail or ask me some questions just reply to this mail and I’ll get back to you right away. (for the record we pay all postage and customs costs) Look forward to hearing from you :)

E72 IN PICTURES

DHL delivered the package to my place on Thursday 6th of May.

E72 package. A bit damage from the corner… Lol.


(The phone is already on :P)

The package contained the phone E72, Nokia Battery BP-4L, Nokia High Efficiency Charger AC-8, Nokia 4 GB microSDHC Card MU-41, Nokia MicroUSB data cable CA-101D, Nokia Stereo Headset WH-205 and a pouch. No User guide or any manual included (a mistake?). Anyways it would have been necessary though.

I have got so much questions about Media Monkey scrobbling to Last.fm so I decided to write clear instructions about how it works. This should work for all the versions and the newest release. I use Media Monkey version 3.2.0.1294.

Get Media Monkey and Last.fm account and get started

1. Get Last.fm Scrobbler plugin. I have two versions and I use Last.fm Scrobbler v1.0.2.14. (I have v1.0.1.12 too.) You can find the newest plug-in (v1.0.2.22) here.

2. Install plug-in. Start Media Monkey. Click on the file. Install file and restart.

3. Go Tools -> Options -> Last.fm Service. Add your username and password. Press OK.

4. Start scrobbling! (If the version doesn’t work contact me to get other versions, mine has worked flawlessly.) Your Last.fm page should be updated.

I hope someone finds this useful, wishes:
