who we are

Ok, you've read "what is meio desligado". Pretty words, uh? But how to trust in something written by someone who you don't know and barely speaks english?

Oooooh.

To know that people who writes in Meio Desligado are not a bunch of stupid motherfuckers, nothing better than some lists about us and our favorite bands, movies, and books, don't you think?

Read the things below to make sure that we have a good knowledge and feeling for music and that we are cool and sexy young brazilians...
