Spotlight on Timothy Bisquit , SL Hip Hop Artist Releases the SL Blueprint Albums. -Lanai Jarrico Reporting..
 |
| Lanai going hard at Club Indica |
Hip Hop is my favorite genre. I’m not ashamed to go hard on some Jay Z, Rick Ross or even some Kanye west while driving in my car or cleaning my house. I haven't gotten the cops called on me yet for loud music but I've gotten dirty looks. It’s not just a genre of music, it’s a culture. From music and fashion to attitude. People can either love it, hate it or keep it movin, cause Hip Hop is here to stay.
One thing you can find in the Hip Hop genre that you can’t find in many cookie cutter songs these days, is realism, slick rhymes mixed with humor. The hustle of the street and the way a hip hop artist can use their experiences to overcome obstacles and attain a dream, is what most is about. But lets not get it twisted. Hip Hop is not all about being gangsta, hardships and hustles in the hood. Artists such as Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Gweneth Paltrow even that old crow Madonna has been known to go hard and spit on the mic and those ladies probubly couldn't even bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Anyway....

OI Magazine: A Slice Of The Second Life's Suburb Sims' History From Molly Montale's Plate - Luc Fray

| Molly Montale |
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to talk to one
of Second Life™ 's oldest residents, Molly Montale.
Montale had joined the game since 2005 after
seeing an article about it in New York Times™. Though not as
active now as she was before, mostly because of health problems, Montale still
granted me the time of the day when she had agreed to talk regarding one of
Second Life's biggest issue back when the game first started standing up on
wobbly legs...

SCREW BARBIE..I WANT TO BE A ROLLER DERBY GIRL - MariellaAnna Resident reporting...
A friend of mine
suddenly and out of the blue announced that she was in the SLRA roller Derby
team and did I want to come along and watch a match? I searched my sketchy mental database to come
up with any point of reference I might have had as to what she might possibly
have been talking about. Here, let me just point out I’m English, most of us
haven’t heard of roller derby much less know what it’s about and it’s for that
possible reason I eventually came up with a mental picture of female ex-cons or
women with excessive tattoos racing round a track on roller skates, trying to
kill each other between chugging down cans of lager and chain smoking cheroots.
VMS News: Musician Bara Jonson: A Success Story - Angharad Catteneo Reporting...
 |
| Bara Jonson |
Bara Jonson, a Second Life musician from Åhus, Sweden, has one of the greatest real life success stories I’ve encountered. I remember viewing a documentary on his Second Life so it was a treat to catch him live on the Grid. His music is a little alternative rock/country and his acoustic guitar complemented his strong voice. Listening to his performances, it’s easy to tell that Bara’s original songs were inspired by real life experiences.
I interviewed Bara about his music career and his journey to success.
Bara started with music at age seven and continued into his adult years. Around 1997 he took a ten-year break from music to concentrate on a business recruitment company. When the world’s economy took a nosedive in 2007, no one was hiring and as a result, recruitment companies weren’t needed. That was when he first started playing Second Life. The virtual world was a way to take his mind off of real life, although he had no knowledge of the music community within it.
“Well, I didn’t know anything about SL when I started. Then I thought about the idea of connecting a guitar and microphone to SL and maybe I could ‘find a place beside a fire to play for those who stopped by’,” he says of his first experiences in Second Life. Before he knew it, he had won the mediaculture Virtual Music Award of 2008 for Best Artist.

SL Newser : Interview with Michi Lumin- Bixyl Shuftan
In Second Life, one of the oldest communities is Luskwood, which is also the location of the oldest furry avatar company on the Grid. The four whom started the place, and company, are known as the founders. And probably the most popular of them is the skunkgirl in the top hat, Michi Lumin. Recently, Michi sat down for an interview, and talked about a number of subjects concerning Luskwood, the Grid over the years, and Linden Lab.

SLE/PPM Merger Takes a Turn in a New Direction. Lanai Jarrico Reporting...
Company mergers whether in our real world or in a virtual one, can be complex with many choices to make. The decision makers have to ask themselves some important questions to ensure working or merging with another business or entity is the right thing to do. Is the reputation of the company in good standing with the public? Do both parties have a common goal and can commit to the job requirements, its employees and the community. Some projects, partnership and mergers work, others fall through and new plans are implemented to ensure productivity and positive growth. That is the ultimate goal.
On May 14, 2012 The SL Enquirer announced a merger between Press Pass media; a neutral media network consisting of over 31 media sources and The SL Enquirer; Second Life’s longest running independently owned newspaper. Due to feedback from our members, we are making some small but important modifications to the plans.
