SecondFest is this weekend, and if even if you're not a fan of the virtual world, you can always delete your account after it's all over. The full line-up is now available after the jump, and it's impressive. I've always been a fan of the Petshop Boys (who are headlining), but seeing Hotchip on the Indie Stage, and DJ favorite Coldcut is pretty hot for any festival, even if it is in Second Life. The festival start Friday 29 June at 6pm British Summer Time (10am SLT) and rocks and rolls until midnight (British Summer Time) Sunday night. More »

We're one step closer to never having to deal with those Nazis over at Ticketmaster ever again! Weekend after next, the Guardian and Intel will be hosting a music festival in Second Life called "Second Fest". Headlining the show will be the Pet Shop Boys, New Young Pony Club, The Aliens, and Hadouken. Other real-world bands like Hot Chip, Simian Mobile Disco, and Ninja Tunes will be featured on different stages. Not to be upstaged will be Second Life talent who will have their own exclusive stage at the festival. Many other events are scheduled, like a VIP area to chat with the bands after their sets, and a human maze. More details are listed on their MySpace page. Kim Phu More »

Minimal, the second single from UK techno/pop duo Pet Shop Boys's new album, sounds remarkably like a tune from the DS Animal Crossing: Wild World. While the music is different, the tune's chorus echoes the voice AC's roving troubadour canine K.K. Slider. With none of this is confirmed (and for good reason), there is a similarity. Check for yourself. And buy their new album. It's moody. Brian Ashcraft More »
