Linden Lab is taking applications for its upcoming in-world live music festival, with performers getting an unspecified "payment". One likely speed bump is performers will only be booked for the festival after doing a five minute audition in front of "a panel of judges made up of Lindens and Residents". (Maybe they should do it publicly and put the performances on YouTube, ala Second Life Idol.) I suspect established professional musicians who also gig in the real world will chafe at the idea of having to do an audition, but then, they probably need to audition in front of a half-drunk, surly nightclub owners, so a virtual version is easy by comparison. Go here to read the details and start the application process.

Since they're not disclosing what sort of payment they have in mind, we can only thank our lucky stars that exposure, beer and buffet food is now considered legal tender for all debts:
