I couldn't care less about MTV, nore MuchMusic up here in Canada, HOWEVER, MTV has done something exceedingly cool and forward thinking by adding a major OnLive site called Tikkiland...this is cutting edge web technology (vrml styleeee) that gives you a 3d avatar you can fully move around in a variety of cool locals, complete with backgrounds and ambient background sound, and as you talk through the avatar, their mouths move... So, a significant other of mine (student at vfs.multimedia) is putting on the first live electronic show to be broadcast over the web via OnLive (or so I believe it'll be the first) We'll be plugging an output from the mixing board into an Avatar so you'll be able to listen to a number of local Vancouver live electronic groups... Wild GArlic (a tribal drumming group) Mk Naomi (ambidub etc...) Micronaut (wicked,WICKED ambient jungle guy) Lo Phat Hi Fi (hyperreal's own Matt COrwin, aka on time ATOI Seattle, now on Oxygen Music Works...the new ep rawks, bass kitten stylee!:) Also included will be lectures by a panel of vrml big wigs... it'll also be broadcast on cuseeme as well...
