Yr Doin’ It Right #1 – Sunday Driver
One of my most common rants about steampunk style involves long-winded kvetching about the forgotten Eastern influences on the genre. I'll spare you the snarky details, but it comes to this: I want to know why I practically never see steampunks tapping into the deliciously decadent culture of India.
HUMANWINE – Hunt for the Golden Ticket
My good friends HUMANWINE are playing tomorrow, June 27th, 2009 at The Paradise in Boston. Alas, I will not be able to attend but if you’d like to go for free all you need do is find a hidden Golden Ticket! There’s just over twenty-four hours left to find

The Clockwork Quartet

Steampunk Runway Show – Chicago
Produced by Chicago Tribal Bellydance Troupe Read my Hips, this show looks like it was a lot of fun! I’m really excited that the fashions are not purely neo-Victorian, there is some definite punk in there as well as some middle Eastern influence. Have a look at pictures from
MTV Discovers Steampunk
MTV has a piece on Steampunk that’s a little different then we’ve seen before. There’s naturally a greater focus on music and fashion but the intarwebs get a mention too. My only real criticism is that they didn’t pick up on some of the more serious aspects having to
Buckle up your boots and adjust your brass goggles . . .
On Saturday morning the inestimable Molly Friedrich dropped me a note with a link to an MP3. I was entirely unprepared for the awesomeness that lay behind that link, Professor Auerbach’s Attack of the Steampunks Rap: Meeting the opposition like a hammer on an anvil Conquering the culture like
The Music of Mr. and Mrs. Hazelwood
I’m not sure how to categorize these two – also, I’m not a music critic so I just don’t have the language. Think Squirrel Nut Zippers with some Goth influence. It’s neat stuff, old timey but with a nice edge. Have a listen here It is my understanding that
