Today’s offering is the RPM Orchestra.
As heard over the aether (courtesy of The Clockwork Cabaret) this sums it up nicely -
“Upon first listen, I got maybe three – probably two – tracks into it and then skipped ahead a couple tracks and skipped ahead a couple tracks and then took it out and threw it [...]

It has been written that there is the whole world to play with when you wish to do steampunk. This band “Sunday Driver” is a WONDERFUL example of that as well as just some of the best new music I have heard in a long time.
Give there new album “In the City of Dreadful Night” a [...]

I’m not dead!  I apologise for being absent so, but it’s back to pleasure as usual and I’d first like to mention that when I was in New York (for the Dances of Vice festival, more on that later) I was fortunate enough to get tickets to see the musical Wicked on broadway.  Oh, such [...]

The items above are ‘FX Boxes’, [...]

Well now, Ms Yayanos is a quite the fan and friend of the music group Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and wrote to inform me that they’re on tour at the moment. The above image, as well as this one here, are apparently stills from their recent music video shoot, and they’ve got quite a lovely [...]
