Launching the Virtual Jukebox!

We are glad to announce we have taken next sweep into a fully functional digital jukebox shop at Pop Art Lab.

This is exactly what Pop Art Lab have spent 1-2 years researching. And now we are finally ready for the next step. To enable easy direct legal download of all music streamed at the lab.

All you have to do is visit the lab check out the 4 albums streamed in each listening booth and by 1 click at album cover you’ll be directed to our Amazon site. There you’ll be able to either buy 1 single mp3 or entire album and within few seconds you have obtained a fully legal file supporting the both the artists as well as Pop Art Lab.
The service and selection of albums in-world will be based on our usual criteria – to present each weeks very best releases streamed 24/7 in a 2-3 days sequence. The selection is based upon more than 10 years of experience real life reading and tracking down more than 50 resources of music reviews as well as listening to more than 2000 albums a year as music editor. By maintaining this service our visitors will be able to hear pre-listens and full lenghts recordings of approximately 15 new albums a week. Visitors can sit in one of our 4 booths while they socialize with friends in chat or voice, while they browse the web or whatever they are up to.
As an additional service we make each weeks selections viewable and available for direct download here at our blog via the Amazon plugin player right side. The player only include 30 secs snippets of each mp3. This service allows visitors who are either offline in-world or simply wants to get a fast an easy buy option and/or overview of each weeks picks in the NOW sounds of today’s music scene.

You can try it out or visit the lab hitting HERE

We will soon set up a huge in-world event featuring lots of live music to celebrate and make the Second Life community aware of our new services.

Please welcome it and help us support the artists as well as us pushing the platform to new heights!
Thank you!

Updates from the Lab

Finally time for some updates the day after Linden Lab launched their behind the firewall solution formerly code named Nebraska now SLE Second Life Enterprise. Watch the mixed reality vid. at Metanomics or read more I recommend visiting official LL press and Dusan Writers blog.

Now some great news. Pop Art Lab now part of SLs Solution Provider programme. This can be seen as yet another step turning the lab towards enterprises who want to benefit and be part of our well branded and respected visions – to provide a solid unique platform for music minded projects or simply some outstanding designs and collaborations.
During approval of submission it was nice to give Linden an 1 hour tour showing the lab.

As earlier mentioned here we are currently planning and designing a brand new Pop Art Lab. The launch is set to New Years Day! The designs and build is happening and hidden away untill we get done and can move it almost overnight!

The next Pop Vox our music tv programme in partnership with Treet.TV is scheduled December the 7th. Again little info can be aired yet although I can promise we already work on make it more spectacular than any previous shows!

This leads me to another exciting ongoing project – the creation of a magic Pop Vox/Pop Art Lab showroom at Treet.TVs sim.

The regular visitors might have spotted we’ve added a new Amazon app. right side of this blog. Now u can simply support the artists and the lab by buying direct via this app or by visiting our listening booths inworld and click the albumcovers. The service is still under developement but works smoothely already. More on this soon!

Finally we are working on setting up next event including many live acts. Please IM or email us if u aware of very talented musicians u would like to see at the lab tx.
