Furcadia is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game and a social media platform in one. From this combination, its developers describe it as an MMSOG—a Massive Multiplayer Online Social Game. It also claims to be the longest running one, so players can expect many other players to interact with. What makes Furcadia stands out among the many free online games is how players can customize their own content—they can create their own art, music, and scripting through what Furcadia calls ‘dreams’.

Ever heard of neoromantic pop? I must confess that I haven't, that is, until I came across WhiteRoom's self-titled album. "WhiteRoom" is fast-paced, mournful, and thoughtful---all in equal measures. The sound is quite unique. "If Radiohead’s unborn bastard children had survived, been raised on a steady diet of Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Duke Ellington, you might have managed to engineer a group like WhiteRoom," says one music review.

Nobody's Innocent is a pop-dance, electro/club album by 27-year old French artist Reead. If you can summarize the whole album in one word, it would have to be "surprising".

The dance tracks reflect the artist's funky side as influenced by constantly evolving pop singer Madonna while the soothing acoustic tracks show the strong impact of pop-rock band Lifehouse on the French singer. Reead manages to pull off this unlikely union of two different genres with admirable aplomb.
