I agree with you. I also feel that late 19th Century Vaudeville and Ragtime (and other Early Jazz) music is very Steampunk. It was the music that was captured by the earliest sound recording technologies. And yes, I have to be as broad as I can her…

Well, really, if you're looking into a niche, such as christmas, you have to expand your search somehow, and I think swing hits right at the edge. It is my personal opinion that since steampunk has a "victorian sci-fi", feel too it, that the music…

The Hellblinki Sextet has a Christmas album. It's on iTunes.

I actually have the two Ultra Lounge Christmas Cocktails CDs...and I have them in rotation on Radio Riel New Toulouse! You think the Swing and The Ventures work for "Steampunk"? I am not disagreeing with you! I am one of the most open minded people…

On Radio Riel Main Today: Christmas in New Babbage

From Radio Riel's Blog today:

"Today's program on Radio Riel Main is dedicated to the Second Life Steampunk community of New Babbage. What does this mean in terms of music? Well, you will hear a crazy and eclectic mix today, from "classic Steampunk" music by Steampunk favorites Abney Park, to Christmas music cranked out on player pianos and music boxes, to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, to electronica, to some *really* dark and weird songs! I hope you enjoy it, and as they say in New Babbage...w… Continue

Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble

I stood alone on the dance floor of the Piermont Landing Ballroom. The crowd had left. Only I remained. I rubbed my forehead and released a huge sigh. I felt like I had been holding my breath all night long. I still could not believe what had happened.

We had gathered several hours earlier to attend the Wedding Rehearsal of Miss Obedience Mactavish of New Toulouse and Doctor Obelensky of New Babbage. Miss Mactavish is the last of the Mactavish Family, one of the most prominent families in "old"… Continue

What if...

I sit at my desk in my office at The Nest in Edison Hypatia, staring at the blank sheet of paper on it, pen in hand. I sit for hours, just looking at it.

I don't know what to write. I've sent other letters and received no response. I really wish I did not want to write another one. Another exercise in futility? I think so. At this point it's something I can do to make myself feel better. I suppose it's worth it for that.

I take a deep breath, and put pen to paper.

Dear Man in Pieces,

I've tr… Continue
