Closing AM Radio’s “The Refuge and The Expansion”

  From exhibition organizer Callipygian Christensen…this is one of those moments where it’s completely appropriate to lament the impermanence of Second Life builds.     The Refuge and Expansion has been installed in the Wales sims for 10 months – a long time in SL, but it feels like such a short time as I [...]

Last Day of May celebration at Lauk’s Nest

Courtesy of Lauk’s Nest owner Graceful Aeon…this is one of the truly wonderful builds on the Second Life grid and has been a topic of interest at Second Arts for some time. It’s a fantastic place to visit regardless of the events, but the activities give you more than ample reason to return.     [...]

Refreshing the Blogroll…help!

A quick stroll through the blog to read Nazz’s great new piece  revealed a neglected Blogroll of GREAT Second Life-related arts (both visual and music) blogs.  So it’s time to update it. Any suggestions for additions/subtractions from the readers?  Post your ideas in the comments!

What makes Chouchou more special than any other creative mind?

Hamlet Au notes that the inworld musical duo known as Chouchou has announced that they feel that they need direct financial donations to justify staying inworld.  This is downright silly. Let’s be honest with ourselves as artists (or in my case, quasi-artists who like to support the art-creating class): You get support if you actually [...]

Komuso to play at Second Arts!

That’s right, Komuso is going to offer up his blues brilliance inworld at Second Arts this coming Sunday!  If you’ve seen the Aussie sensei play live from Tokyo, you know what a treat it is.  If you haven’t shaken your pixel thing to the rhythms provided by Beato-san and Basso-san, you owe it to yourself [...]

Dancing at The Ruins dance club to Satin Galli

I had never been to this venue before, nor had I heard this performer.  Both were pleasant surprises.

Walkabout: MoShang Zhao at his Comfort Zone

After another big day at RL work, I arrived home (too late, really) to see that MoShang Zhao was playing a gig at his SL residence, “MoShang’s Comfort Zone.” It’s always great to hear my friend from Taiwan. He’s added backing tracks for a few new songs – or at least pieces that I don’t [...]

Back from vacation

Hey ‘dere, you readers of this here blog-thingamajigg… I’m back from vacation, which was mildly disappointing, but I got the suntan (sunburn, actually) that I’ve never been able to get from my monitor.   (Oh, LCD screen.  Hmmm.) Anyway, time away (less my hanging out at Mitch Kapor’s ballyhooed “important announcement” at SL5B) gives one time [...]

Free (or ridiculously inexpensive) Lovespirals music!

Hey crew – I just got an email letting me know that Anji and Ryan at Lovespirals have uploaded their “Free and Easy” CD at Amie Street.  If you don’t remember, Lovespirals was a pivotal band in my musical exploration of Second Life. Amie Street, for those who don’t know, has a real unique approach [...]
