Alpha o7 shopping district has expanded once again. The new Impromptu Music venue is located on the back lot, behind Mad Hatter. There will be many more shops available for rent as well! The shops for rent outside the Alpha Mall will be available only to those who create the products they sell. Rental fees in these designated areas will include free radio ads that will air on Alpha Core Radio.

There has been quite a bit of talk in the Second Life live music community about the plight of the music venue. Many clubs are threatening to close their doors because they are unable to keep up with tier fees and paying for performances. Every so often I even hear rumblings about cover charges, and venues asking or demanding that musicians split tips with the venue. As a musician myself this

Id just like to take a moment to welcome two new merchants to the Alpha Mall. Black Maria sells very well made flexi-prim hair. It's a spiked look, very rock and roll! Check it out, it's very cool hair! Also new to the mall is Pura Vida Designs. Their booth has a nice assortment of mens and ladies fashions. Check it out, you may be very impressed by what you see!Zed

I was just daydreaming. I was thinking about what Sl would be like if everything worked! Imagine, if network vendors were completely reliable. No more Instant messages from angry customers demanding product or money back. No more ruined evenings when a friend says "if i crash one more time, I'm not coming back tonight". I wonder what that would be like?I feel sorry for those of us who try and

I was informed today that our friend Leeuwenheart Lemmon passed away in the last few days due to complications during a transplant surgery. Our thoughts go out to his family at this time. In SL we knew Leeuw as a party animal and a really nice guy. He was one of a few Dj's we had at the old club, and he worked very hard to make sure everyone had a good time. I never knew him to say anything

As some of you know we play 80's retro music on Fridays. Because of the recent change to play a certain type of music from Midnight to midnight I have had to increase the number of songs in each genre so that things don't get so repetitive. Well in finding more 80's to play I came across a huge selection of 80's music but it's from the UK! So many of these songs were international hits but some

I have acquired third party software to enable me to rename the mp3's properly. This will ensure that the system does not play a bunch of songs by the same artist back to back. This should mean more variety and make it much easier to identify a song on the radio screen in the club. This handy software removes silly things like "Various" and track numbers from the names and uses the Artist - song

Monday - Classic Rock Surprize, Teusday - World Music, Wednesday - Blues, Thursday - Modern Rock, Friday 80's Retro, Saturday AtmoPop mix and Sunday it's Punk! Each type of music plays on it's given day from Midnight to Midnight! I
