Don't think about the style of music these songs are in.. think about how they make you feel.. what they inspire you to imagine...
Cast your mind far away to a time and place that never was.. where steam engines began the first computers, gears and cogs populated everything from factories to fashion, and tophats, corsets, and gritty Victorian fare ruled the day...

Mechanized worlds of wonder and clockspring violins lie in darkened wait- now who will you be? You are the creator.. the inventor.. the created.. the invented.. the airship adventurer, with high buckle boots, telescopic goggles, and a feather in your cap..? Or are you the wildly quaffed damsel who carries an arkubus in your garter and a wicked little blade tucked beneath our tattered, fingerless lace gloves??
...
Now.. lets venture into the smokey streets and Tesla coils of SteamPunk!!


Has anybody else heard about this??  Have you,
[livejournal.com profile] caitilin[livejournal.com profile] belladonnas_web[livejournal.com profile] amethystjade?  I just did a random search after seeing something about steampunkiness online, and combining w/something else I love, and whoa!  I got a ho-ton of links!!  Plus thanks to this, I just discovered a few nifty bands to boot!  "Such as," you say?  Well, there's The Circus Contraption Band (who remind me very much of Tom Waits at times), Abney Park (who actually do cool, somewhat dark n' gothy Steampunk-themed music w/a LOT of ME music influences infuzed into it!), Pentaphobe, Claire Fader, the Beat Circus, and Vermillion Lies.  (The latter few of whom do mostly old fashioned-style stuff w/a modern twist, and make me think of the Dresden Dolls, the Ditty Bops, and Ghost Bees to a point.) 

There are tutorials online about how to make SP bellydancing gear, Etsy stores w/such stuff, and YouTube vids that feature SP-themed bellydancing routines.  Who knew??  I feel SO behind the times!!  (But I am LOVING catching up! :D:D)
