Arthole Radio - Arahan Claveau (April 29th 2009)

For this 2½ hour special edition of my show I asked a number of Second Life artists to choose a favourite piece of music, but instead of me just playing the music, the artists themselves introduce each track and explained why they chose it. I had a very enthusiastic response, the introductions they recorded and music choices are a fascinating mixture of amusing, provocative and downright weird. It’s a unique opportunity for listeners to hear the artists actually speaking and gain some revealing insights into the personalities behind the avatars.

Guests artists include AM Radio, Adam Ramona, AngryBeth Shortbread, DanCoyote Antonelli, Dekka Raymaker, Dizzy Banjo, Douglas Story, Gore Suntzu, Klink Epsilon, Man Michinaga, Misprint Thursday, Nebulosus Severine, Oberon Onmura, Penumbra Carter, Sabine Stonebender, Selavy Oh, Tanith Catteneo, Tuna Oddfellow and Juria Yoshikawa.
