La Boheme

This month our Howl falls on the Full Moon which happens to be called the "Buck Moon".  Apparently, the month of July is when young deer develop their antlers.  Musically, I've got nothing for that theme... but some of my favorite antlered-folk are fond of Classical music so I'll present a set of Dark Ambient, Alternative and Classical music at The Lair in Rosehaven. The Howl events occur twice a day; first at noon SLT and again at 7:00 pm SLT, to accommodate our denizens in different time zones.  Both events are 90 minutes in length. Friday, July 27, from 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM and again 7:00 - 8:30 PM PDT and SLT, at The Lair, in Rosehaven (Second Life). Fantasy or Goth attire from any era is encouraged. When in doubt, wear Black!

This month, the Howl's musical theme will be Industrial Goth and "Witch House" , especially for Her Highness, Princess Selena. Witch House is considered a micro-genre of electronic music. It is described as "occult-inspired, dark electro... influenced by infused hip-hop sounds, mashed up and screwed beats, random industrial sounds, and irregular noises."

Howl! Friday, May 25, from 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM and again 7:00 - 8:30 PM PDT and SLT, at The Lair, in Rosehaven (Second Life). This full moon is called the "Flower Moon", so we'll listen to dark, alternative tunes about flowers, (dead and otherwise). Sim Rating: Moderate. No nudity, and no biting! Recommended attire: Goth or Fantasy, any era. SLURL:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rosehaven%20Sanctuary/130/105/25

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo early with tunes about Mexico, Tequila, and Margaritas... and some tunes by Mexican-American artists. (Bring your Espanol translator).

Last week I had the pleasure of playing an electronic dance set for my friend, Gabrielle Riel, to celebrate her 12th RezDay in Second Life. I mixed the entire set using cue points in RadioDJ , and had a lot of fun doing so! If you missed Gabi's party, you can still listen to my set on Mixcloud.

It was bound to happen sometime; I made a scheduling mistake for the themed Howl events at The Lair. The full moon for April is named the Pink Moon, but we celebrated the Pink Moon Howl last month (by my mistake), so I'm just going to repeat the Pink Moon Howl this month and we'll get back on track. I will, however, play only the evening shift (to avoid conflict with Fantasy Faire events), and I'll change the playlist a bit to bring the length back down to one and a half hours. Friday, April 27, 2018 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm The Lair in Rosehaven Recommended attire: Goth or Fantasy from any era. This month's Howl is not happening.  Please, go enjoy the events and shopping at Fantasy Faire, and we'll Howl next month!

April 2018 brings a schedule change for my presentations at The Temple in Rosehaven: you will now find me there on the first Thursday of each month. Since this month's calendar is so silly (who celebrates April Fools' day on Easter Sunday?), I'm going to present a set of fun, silly songs that should make you smile. It's a Pajama Party! Wear your PJs or just dress comfy- casual. Thursday, April 5, 2018 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm Pacific Time and SLT at The Temple in Rosehaven (in Second Life)
