This rather disturbing object is called the Steampunk Gas Mask 9 . It marries the compulsory Steampunk materials, leather and brass, with a genuine Soviet-era gas mask. As an object, it is beautiful, and exquisitely crafted. The prop makers on Doctor Who could learn a thing or two from the tinkerer responsible, Bob Basset. But as apparel? No. This should never, ever be worn, at least not outside the...
After seeing this I decided to see if i could copy it for my own Mad Professor look. However over on this side of the Atlantic we dont seem to have easy access to the great range of diy products you do (I think).
Armed with a cannon that shoots chains and an awesome green hat, Dirk Valentine is charged with taking on Baron Battenberg and his nefarious steam-powered machines in Dirk Valentine and the Fortress of Steam. I'm a sucker for steampunk --...
*I wonder why I'm hearing about this through a press release in Montenegro. Because I'm in Croatia right now? No! Can't be! It's because almighty steampunk girdles the earth! *Besides, in Montenegro they still have big clanking pockets of no-kidding...
Jake van Slatt says: During a recent book signing in SeattleWilliam Gibson was asked about the Steampunk modding craze. I think it was really cool that he was aware of us! In addition he commented: “My one complaint is, they make these things look all shiny and new…I think they should look…distressed.” Well, Kevin [...]
Love this. Want this. Delightful! Check it out over on Steampunk Workshop. The keyboard (functioning!!) is by Kevin and is up for auction on eBay. Originally seen on BoingBoing.
Ah, Saturday night at a rock show - it’s what your weekend was made for, y’know. This rather camp gentleman is Joel Gion, tambourine-and-denim dude for California psychedelic explorers The Brian Jonestown Massacre: T’was a fine show, if you discount the beered-up fools in the audience who only came in the hope of goading mercurial frontman [...]
Do you love music? Do you like snark? Do you like it when people turn the tools of the tabloid hacks on the tabloid hacks themselves, and gleefully shove hypocrites from their pedestals? Then you should be reading No Rock and Roll Fun , if you’re not already. A little gem from this morning’s selection: “Given that the Pistols were, basically, a marketing exercise - albeit a wonderfully executed one...

YouTube - "London, London" video by Cibelle feat. Devendra Banhart
.
(((I'm quite the Brazilectronica fan and have a soft spot for Cibelle, and I've got nothing against daffy Texo-Venezuelan psychedelic minstrels, so Devendra is just fine by me. But put 'em in the same video frame and... is it even *possible* to get any more fey than this duo? They're setting world records for feyness...
Hi there, gentle reader! There’s been toss-all of note here this last week except link-dumps, and for that I should apologise - frightfully busy at the moment, you know how it goes. By way of apology, I offer unto you a piece at Teh Grauniad where Chris Morris reports on his visit to CERN’s Large Hadron [...]
(((Steampunk is, like, an ancient thing for me. Yet it's huge and it's growing. Maybe this means that my current preoccupations will be a big deal around 2026, like, say, the "Dutch Hague Festival of Geocide Trials for Climate Denialists.")))...
Blood! Hardware! Heavy metal! Add some sand paper to your old dead hard drive and turn it on to make an excellent grinder/sander for your next hard-core steampunk project via...
In a kaiju film named G that looks like a slice of fried gold, a giant monster menaces Japan only to be confronted by a steampunk metal giant that makes Gigantor look positively 23rd Century. Neither Twitch nor io9 seem certain whether it's a real indie monster movie or just a fan-made trailer, but [...]
I went to interview and review Enochian Theory on Tuesday night, and I was packin’ a camera … Ben (frontman, pictured) has been a friend for quite some time. The band are attempting to go the fully-independent route (no label, no management, treating it as a proper business), and the show was to demo their new [...]
