Feline Slade's Perspective from the Audience Member's Viewpoint
2009-09-16 01:44:00
Slamming Shut the Door on the “Killer App”by Feline Sladevia http://felineslade.wordpress.com"M Linden’s now-infamous labeling of music as a “killer app” for Second Life has led to a lot of discussion and blowing of hot air. Even when some very specific and relatively easily-implementable suggestions were made during the Looking to the Future of Live Performance in Second Life session at SLCC (Really, how hard would it be to repurpose an unused subcategory in Events?), they were automatically put in the “Not in 2009″ pile. In the end, the live music community has been left to its own devices to feel its way along.I’m pretty much a nobody on the Second Life live music scene. I don’t own a venue. I am not a musician, since I can’t tolerably play an instrument as well as sing. So why is the current music venue “to cover charge or not to cover charge” drama bothering me? Maybe it’s because I’m the supposedly deep pockets that it feels like some music venue ow...

Zak Claxton's Thoughts on Music Venue Cover Charges in Second Life
2009-09-15 02:05:00
Zak weighs in on Second Life Cover Charges by Zak Claxton: via http://zakclaxton.blogspot.com "Since everybody and their respective monkeys have offered an opinion on the proposals to standardize cover charges at Second Life live music shows, I felt a need to add my L$10 to the fray. Don't worry; I don't think you'll find anything particularly inflammatory or controversial here. Just a few thoughts on the topic. First, the background.Flame On!Late last month, the Second Life Newspaper ran an article on a cover charge system that was brought up by a fellow SL musician, Mankind Tracer. Note that I said "brought up"; he's hardly the first person to suggest this plan, nor the first to implement it. But he seems to be the focus of the controversy for current go-round of the idea that SL audiences should pay a cover charge to see live music events, as opposed to relying on people's desire to tip artists and venues on their own accord.Why is this even being considered?Pretty simple an...

Selling my Second Life Group: "Live Turntable DJs"
2009-08-30 19:08:00
 For over 3 years, I've done my best to establish a promotional, networking, and collaboration group for the Live Turntable DJs and DJ fans of Second Life .   I have done my best to sort out the DJs, the Event Promoters, and the music lovers in SL.  Back when this group first started in SL,  there were NO live turntable djs.  There wasn't even a difference in classification of the type of DJs in SL.  I made this group because I needed to show Second Life that a "playlisting" DJ is not a real turntable mix DJ.   Since then, Second Life has blossomed into a full fledged Live Turntable DJ community.Now the time has come where I am looking to sell this group.  The reason why I am selling it is because of the extreme time and effort I've invested in making this group special.  Furthermore, the future owner of this group will have full access to over 1000 members, over 300 DJs, and over 300 club and event promoters.  This group...

Daft Punk to Compose Music Score to Tron : Legacy
2009-08-03 03:01:00
Taken directly from Firstshowing.net : because they have a great record of ALL things Tron Legacy so far:Holy Crap, Daft Punk is Scoring Disney's Tron 2.0! March 4, 2009Source: Upcoming Film Score sby Alex Billington Even though Tron 2.0 isn't slated to hit theaters until 2011, we keep hearing big updates on the project, surrounding everything from the plot to CGI cloning of Jeff Bridges. But here's an announcement that I am truly giddy about reporting. The always reliable Upcoming Film Scores blog is claiming that Daft Punk has signed on to do the score for Tron 2.0! They say that Disney has actually confirmed this with them, which means I'm also going to say that it's accurate until proven otherwise. And let me be the first to say, this could be absolutely unbelievably phenomenal, but that may be because I'm such a big fan of Daft Punk. While their songs have been used in plenty of movies, Daft Punk has never actually scored an entire movie before. They did provi...

A Few Tips on how to continue working when Second Life is Overloaded

If you'd like to attend, I encourage you to hop on the SLURL... now: Metanomics III wanted to drop in a blog post about my thoughts and quick tips on continuing your projects and work during times of inworld technical hardships, borkery, and lagginess.SL breaks down to the point of crawling speed often, and for days at a time... sometimes weeks... months? ... Has it always been in a broken state? No, but SL will always be in disrepair. The residents have come to accept that as a part of Second Life .But even though SL is suckin' there are still plenty of people in SL, new accounts entering, and things occurring.You may not be able to work on the custom build you've been wanting to do, or be able to give a good presentation at a business meeting... but you can use this ...

World Trade Organization allows Antigua to ignore US$21 million of US copyr
2007-12-31 12:53:00
Here's some news that peaked my interest. The first things I thought about were music and Second Life... Would it be legal for someone from Antiqua to set up shop in Second Life offering music, movies, games, etc? This is a slow-moving story, and I believe these are all arguing tactics of nations. But, lets say it remains that US copyrights do not stand in Antiqua... hmm...World Trade Organization allows Antigua to ignore US$21 million of US copyright per year Arbitrators at the World Trade Organization (WTO) have granted the Caribbean country of Antigua and Barbuda a special dispensation to ignore United States copyright law.In their report, the WTO panel stated that Antigua possessed "no effective trade sanctions against the USA" and agreed to allow the country to ignore up to US$21 million worth of US copyrights a year. While this amount falls significantly short of the US$3.4 billion per year dispensation that Antigua was seeking, it is far higher than the US$500,000 p...

I could answer any question about Seinfeld. (please challenge me if you'd like. You can send an IM question in Second Life, and I'll reply with the answer.)I believe in Festivus and have been celebrating it for 10 years now. It's something I just am inbred with, I can feel it.Here's Elfay Pinkdot and Saturday morning at Coffee & PajamasI just got the tree there in time for the picture, dropping it in place as the camera snapped.Some of us were just waking up, while with others of us it was obvious we hadn't slept yet.
