M4G, VGL, IGC...RSVP

As I've mentioned, I've recently contributed to an interview series for Music4Games, and it's just gone up. Nile Rodgers (Halo 2), Jesper Kyd (Hitman), Alex Brandon (Unreal), George "The Fat Man" Sanger (Wing Commander and about a million other things), and great and mighty Rob Hubbard all got asked about the state of game music past and present, and it makes entirely interesting reading.

I just received a nice email from Jack Wall, who produces the Video Games Live tour, despite the fact that I previously mocked Elijah Wood's face furniture as featured in their trailer. The concerts are shifting gently across the face of North America, covering 24 cities between Oct 29 and Dec 3, so if you're a "Yank" of any description, then you should totally dress up like a mushroom and go.

And finally, IGC starts tomorrow. I can't go, because I'm still in England, but I've been assured of live reports from the convention floor from my special correspondent.
