On September 18th SpaceJunky Island reopened with a floating city made of crystals. It was a great show with a big turnout. Crystals have some effects over our energy balance and you can feel them here in Crystal City. All of the designers have opened up new, modern stores from Bare Rose to Solanges and BDD.

Musicians will soon be able to submit their original tracks into Rock Band via the Rock Band Network. This looks to be a promising virtual platform allowing indie artists—creators—to contribute songs to the game in a democratic fashion—each new track is reviewed and voted on by peers in the community before being accepted into the game. This is great news for players and indie musicians alike.

SpaceJunky is a real-life band who have been performing live shows in the virtual world of Second Life. SL is about creating your dream, and the ability to creatively visualize a music concert is wonderful, as you can do things here you cannot do in RL.

Music and videogames were made for each other. Here’s a videogame concept that’s been virtually bouncing my mind, called either VirtualBouncer, or VirtualVenue. There would be two main player types—bouncers and club-goers—and there would be character options for each.
