It’s audio file day here at 3pointD, apparently. This is a kind of cool thing forward to me by a friend: young indie-emo-whatever-rockers Cartel, who’ve been featured on MTV’s reality show Laguna Beach, have released a three-song mini album of the live tunes they played during a virtual gig in the network’s online world, Virtual Laguna Beach. The tunes have been released through MTV’s Urge music-download service, of course, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a nice instance of media mashup: a band from a reality show whose gig in a virtual world has now been pushed back out through a more traditional media channel. I’m thinking we’ll see more and more such convergence between old media (television), current media (the Internet) and new media (virtual worlds) in the coming year.
The joint State of Play / Terra Nova symposium at the New York Law School earlier this month was filled with interesting chatter and debate, as previously mentioned. Now you too can get an earful of what some of the smartest thinkers on virtual worlds are chewing over these days, by downloading the audio files that were recorded during the event. Just navigate over to the program page and click on the panels you’re interested in, which will launch iTunes and grab the files. If you don’t have iTunes or have trouble with the files, contact Elizabeth Reilly at ereilly05 AT nyls.edu. Happy listening.
