Where Have You Been?: Two Sides of October
In the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, which suggests things to do and places to visit around the Second Life Grid, we approach the month of October in two different ways: The Briar Woods present a pleasant Autumnal scene, while the Ride of Doom lends a Hallowe’en-ish feeling to the proceedings. Both are well worth a visit!
We also suggest a couple of other venues that might be worth your perusal.
This show airs on October 25 and 28, plus Nov 1 and 4, at 12 noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific.

Where Have You Been?: Expedition Central
In the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, which suggests things to do and places to visit around the Second Life Grid, we discoverJosain Zsun’s Expedition Central, a long-lived and enjoyably old-school approach to presenting links to places of interest around and about in Second Life. There are two locations at the moment, both with plenty to offer. One is hosted by the Helping Haven Gateway owned by Lily Swindlehurst, and the other is on the mainland in the region Chilbo.

Modern Classical Music
Today’s Featured Music is “Modern Classical Music” — but what does that mean, exactly?
Well, in the context of today’s programme, we’re talking about pieces of music written between around the mid-20th Century until the present day, that aren’t exactly “pop music” (though they may tip a hat to it from time to time).
This is a tricky definition, however. Mike Batt (some of whose work is in the playlist for today: there’s a lot more to his compositions than the Wombles! ) has remarked that there is no such distinction as “popular music” and “serious music” — there’s simply “popular” and “unpopular”, so the definition rather falls at the first fence.
Where Have You Been?: Return to Limoncello
In the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?” which suggests things to do and places to visit around the Second Life Grid, we pay a return visit to the Limoncello Gallery, a newly-enlarged art gallery with a signature airship, now placed at the top of a tower in which is exhibited a very large collection of Second Life Art. It was started some 16 years ago, and it’s a big private collection open to the public.
This show airs on September 23, 27, 30 and October 4 & 7, at 12 noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific.

Music from the International Lounge
Today’s programme brings you a selection of primarily instrumental music, and primarily from the 1960s as we present a comfortable sojourn in the International Lounge.
You’ll hear instrumental — and other — arrangements of well-known tunes of the period, along with the best of popular production music and themes from the 60s. Most of the material is from the United Kingdom, the United States and occasionally mainland Europe: so at least it somewhat deserves the label “international”.
Today, of course, “lounge music” is terribly fashionably retro, and no longer consigned to the old vinyl bin in the charity shop under the heading “Easy Listening”. So tune in, sit back, let the bar-tender bring you a gin and tonic with ice and lemon, and enjoy your stay in the International Lounge.
