So here I am inworld, trying to listen to a live webcast of Britain’s “The Thursday Night Show” which this week includes a live webcast from a club in Brighton, UK… and Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer is going to play at about 9pm-ish GMT (UK time). Unfortunately the inworld browser doesn’t care for the (very fun) Flash plugins for chat and images, so I have it up on Media on a Prim, sort of, but have to listen and watch on a “normal” browser. Still, this Thursday Night Show thing is a lot of fun, very international, and normally…

Oh. My. Professor Elemental has a new series of adventures (likely spelt and pronounced “adVENTCHAAAHS” ) that has, in the space of a few minutes, become my New Favorite Thing On The Interwebs. Now that The Guild has wrapped (perhaps forever) this will do nicely. Behold, the glorious first Chronicle of Professor Elemental – “Discovery.” It’s a thrilling tale of intrigue, mind-reading pith helmets, oozy schmoozing and aetheric communications with gorilla valets named Jeffrey via endless vats of tea. Also, the mystery of the pronunciation of Jeffrey’s name is solved. So that’s sorted. While the above is not my actual…

I got a group message from one of my Steelhead compatriots, Fuzzball Ortega, that he had a DJ gig going on T1 Radio at the Second Life Christmas Expo until 11am SLT. I had some time in the middle of the day, so off I went to check it out before having to get back to work: TUESDAY – 12/11 – All Today’s Music Sponsored by T1 Radio! 9 – 11am: DJ Fuzzball Ortega of T1 Radio 11- 1 pm: DJ Mark Attenborough – the Voice of Second Life 1 – 4pm: DJ Vic Mornington of T1 Radio 5 –…

UPDATE: had to go hunt down a valid URL again for WXRT's HD "New Music" stream to load into another Internet radio player. I don't have TuneIn on my old laptop; for that I use Clementine, which is kind of twitchy but works on desktops like WinAmp did, but also scrobbles tracks via Last.fm or Audioscrobbler.

A friend needs a little help, so pass the pixel hat around. And try to make it to Mistletoe’s gig tomorrow! Link: RL Rears Its Ugly Head | Mistletoe Ethaniels Blog I always liked that phrase. Such good imagery. â€Rears its ugly head†conjures up images of a sleeping monster suddenly awakened, and as soon as you see that head come up, oh kids you know you’re in for it. Well, the ugly head that RL has reared in our world is none other than The Big One itself. It’s not death that’s already happened, however; nor is it a…

Yep, if you watch closely as the camera swings around, I’m standing near the back with my friend Stranger Nightfire. Tags are left visible in this video so people can be identified. I think this video was shot by the performer as he sang, so he was really multitasking!

Last night’s Tunaverse Odd Ball was really nice; they had Jana Kyomoon DJing her own compositions. She was logged in from the UK (at THREE AM her time) for a 2 hour set and remarked that the sun was coming up as she wrapped up. I was still having audio issues with the latest Imprudence build (sometimes it works, sometimes not) and after finishing up some more sorting (boring! Relaxing! Worth the effort!) I logged in under Viewer 2 (which has a newer version again). I like Imprudence but do like some of V2’s features aside from a few niggling…

News of yet another closure in Second Life, by way of NWN: Molaskey’s Pub, a popular Second Life location for live music, is closing at the end of this month, unless a buyer steps in. This sad news comes from staff member Nasus Dumart Sue Martin Mahar IRL, who tells me despite having 1000 group members, and being listed on Linden Lab’s official Destination Guide, they’re unable to sustain it… via New World Notes: Sim Deathwatch: Molaskey’s Pub, Popular Spot for Live SL Musicians, Closing This Month Unless a Buyer Steps In. Despite a huge user group (more than 1000…

My friend Mistletoe Ethaniel runs the Wee Little Irish Pub in #Second Life and also does fireworks shows inworld. Pictures from opening night, with Caoilte Skytower perfoming on a badass lute, and also some shots of her fireworks show for the opening of Godric’s Faire in a Harry Potter themed sim last April. Caoilte (pronounced “kwil-cha”) performing, with our hostess with the elfin mostest in the background. This is at the Wee Little Irish Pub’s previous location, but it’s now in Lionheart Timon Yeah, I’m a wallflower drinkin’ mah virtual Guinness. Don’t bug me, I’m busy quaffin’ and participating in…

I’ve been tinkering around with building stuffs and trying to figure out what I’d be interested in making, being, doing in Second Life (rather than continuing the highly scattershot and random existence I currently have) and also I’ve been keeping my eyes and ears open for inspiration. Well, have a look and listen to this: This kid is going places – it’s clear from his voice and piano playing that he’s going to be a major talent, maybe even break out of Second Life and into First Life. Yet the video appears at first to be amateurish screen-cap machinima –…
