I checked out the name Austra and didn’t come up with much. Top of the list was this Canadian electronic band I hadn’t heard of before, but which is apparently quite popular now. I perused their videos and selected this one at random. It’s the official video for a track named “Lose It”, which turned out to be a single from their debut album “Feel it Break”.

47 second into the 4:39 long video this image flashed before my eyes.

“Is that a Second Life waterfall?” I quickly asked myself. Turns out it was: googling “waterfall + “Second Life” instantly produced the following link and image from the Second Life Marketplace. In fact, I’m pretty sure I have this very waterfall, a freebie, in my current inventory.

*That* certainly seemed synchy since I’d already linked Austra and Second Life in a totally unrelated way. Note: the name AUSTR_A on the Nautilus continent map clearly comes from Austria, with the “i” dropped for a spell for some odd reason. Soon it would return; AUSTRIA restored. Perhaps now we can glimpse a psychic slant to this mistake. 🙂

I’m going to continue watching the video and read some analyses hopefully. Following a trail — more soon!

4 months ago Apleeza wrote in the comments for that video:

Those Second Life pictures in it. If you listen to the lyrics it actually looks like the song is about a guy she fell for in Second Life.

Then someone quickly pointed out that the lead singer is a lesbian. There are some more rather quick flashes of Second Life in the video, but nothing I could wrap my brain around.

One more item before I perhaps leave this topic. I’ll quote from wikipedia, and highlight the synchronizations:

They [Austra] played a number of early shows under the name Private Life before learning that another band was already using the name; they subsequently named the band after Stelmanis’ middle name Austra, which is also the name of the goddess of light in Latvian mythology.[3] Austra used to include twin backing singers Sari and Romy Lightman of Tasseomancy. Keyboardist Ryan Wonsiak of Ze and the Boyfriends makes up the quartet.[2]

The Lightman twins are also featured in the “Lose It” video. Private Life could be resonant with Second Life. I haven’t found out what the playing cards mean in conjunction with Second Life images within.

“Kidd Tower is now in Mysten, but in a secret place, Hucka D.”

I don’t think Hucka D. is quite ready to talk about Mysten. He has to gather his notes together about it. At any rate, I have a history with this place. I discovered what I’m now calling Mystenopolis in January 2012. or about 3 1/2 years ago, when I still had Pietmond in Otaki Gorge as my main base. But not for long. An alien spaceship came and destroyed my beloved virtual village the following month. But I had the smaller Seven Stones community to fall back upon by that time, which happened to be located just south of Mystenopolis, or what I then called Australa I believe. Well, let me just give a link to related posts from the Baker Blinker Blog.

Ah yes, I called the peninsula centered by Mysten Lower Austra. There’s also an Upper Austra as a balance.

But on this early map of the area (Austra originally called Australia), it seems that Lower Austra itself was divided into an upper and lower section, with Mysten in the middle.

Australia?

Hucka D. is indicating there’s a direct 2:1 relationship between Australia and Yd Island in terms of psycho-physical space involved. That is, Australia represents the number 2 (Upper and Lower) while Yd Island is a “mere” 1. For this reason, Hucka D. is also telling me that Australia is a healthier place to live in general, and that Yd Island is only for those more special ones who tend toward self-involvement — monads I believe he calls them. Australia is more balanced and complementary within itself. Yet Australia would not be possible without Yd Island coming first (again, this is from the direction of Lemon Lab and not Linden/Lime Lab, which I’ll attempt to explain in more detail soon).

Australia is the second, defined part of Lemon Lab virtual reality formed, directly after the first (Yd Island).

Another very important thing to keep in mind is that Mystenopolis lies between 2 twinned roads called Highway 13 and 14 by the Lindens, as seen on the following map I borrowed from Virtual Christine’s blog post regarding the Nautilus continent.

In January 2012, the word Austra appears over the center of the attached peninsula.

The Bob Too sim contains the main chunk of the letters (A U S T).

The only rental land currently offered by Lama Estates on the Nautilus continent is in Bob Too. Schweet (R A).

My present Mysten parcel in January 2012. Baker Bloch would be positioned directly under the front door of the Red Umbrella now. The pool to the right is now derezzed. This might be Mysten Pool?
