Because there are only so many witty things you can say about music before you have the deep seated desire to gouge your eyes out with your own knitting needles, I've decided to add some lovely reviews of various musicians, steampunk shops, artists and various other lovely steampunkery to the daily postings. They might come daily, they might just be when I feel inspired to do so.
That being said, today's review is of the wonderful and marvelous steampunk boutique, Clockwork Couture.
Based out of Burbank, CA, Clockwork Couture has been online since 2008 and last year finally opened up their shop. They stock exclusively cruelty-free clothing and accessories and support their local animal shelter by fostering animals.
I have to say, I've bought a few things from them and it's all been wonderful. Enough so that if you're looking for costume pieces, check out the site (and if you live close enough, consider going to the store! If you do, I'm jealous). You'll see a few things from them in my costume when we finally get to the convention.
For tonight's music selection, we have "Something Wicked (That Way Went)" by Vernian Process.
See you tomorrow!

The Road to Salt City Steamfest - Day 2
Hello folks! I'm back. And I'm here with another fantastic song for you.
Abney Park is considered to be one of the first (and in my opinion best) truly steampunk bands. They paved the way for many of the others I'll be showing you.
Steampunk land rarely has normal pirates. They do exist, but the more common version is the airship pirate. You know, flys around in an airship of some sort, pillaging and looting is done from the air, that kind of amazing fun thing.
Fortunately for us, Abney Park is just that.
If you have a suggestion for a band or song for the playlist, I'm all ears. The only caveat is that they have to have their music on Spotify. Go wild steampunks!

The Road to Salt City Steamfest
Last night, when he got back from his trip, my stepdad gave me an awesome shirt just because. It says "To save time, let's just assume I'm never wrong." Best. Shirt. Ever.
And since the shirt doesn't lie, I'm going with this idea as being totally awesome.
At the end of July, Mom and I are going to Salt City Steamfest for my birthday. Yes, I know my birthday is a week later. I don't care. Close enough.
Until then, I'm redoing an old idea. Namely the Song a Day concept from Christmas.
I'll also post a photo of some awesome costume piece I'm making once a week so you can get ready with me!
As previous, all the music I'm providing is on Spotify.
Dudes, this is a giant, Steampunk party, and you're totally invited.
"You're Invited" by Professor Elemental.
