Hot Wednesday Linkage
Whoah there tiger, we haven’t had Wednesday before. Are you excited yet?
- Nintendo announced the impending arrival of Wii music. Well, impending in about 5 months. I know some of you are pretty familiar with the system, but for those living in caves and under rocks and stuff, the Wii lets you control stuff on screen via the motion of your hands and (recently) feet. This will allow you to virtually “play” various instruments, or more accurately, as one commenter put it: “you can just spaz around, and the game makes it into music”. If it’s anything like Wii sports it’ll be completely unrealistic, but hugely fun. Did I mention that there will be a conducting game in there as well?
- There’s a new (?) classical music video site in town. The styling looks very sexy and Web 2.0, but after discovering that everything costs a very un-Web 2.0 sum of money I promptly ran away. Those of you who aren’t stingy graduate students might be interested, though.
- We’re proud to be number 29
