URL Change: MF or VM?
I consider my URL selection virtualmusic.tv as a minor fail. Of course when I launched the site in July 2009 I thought it was brilliant, but truly, only hindsight is 20/20. Last summer a conversation with Bandzoogle founder Chris Vinson helped confirmed in my mind that the URL choice of virtualmusic.tv was not ideal for the core reason above—it’s no .COM.
Remixed: Remix Writers Wanted.
“Remixed” is a new beta section on VirtualMusic.tv covering open remixing via remix reviews, remix stories, virtual collaboration, and remix production techniques. The idea is an mp3blog covering remixed tracks with posts that include—or link to—streaming remixed audio or video.
Visualjournal (Updated)
We’ll be running a new image series, called Photo Journal, where we showcase live music photos, deviations, and digital artwork relating to music, arts, virtuality, and technology.
