Ladies and Gentlemen

Lovers of steampunk I first bring to you for your viewing pleasure The Nautilus the gutar that seems like it is better suited in bioshock than in any reality.

Then there are probobly some of you who believe computers do not belong anywhere near steampunk well try these on for size.

Is it animal cruelty, steriotype proven right, or just an alien invasion I present CATS:In Water.
http://animal-pix.blogspot.com/2007/05/wet-cats.html

Now that you have your steampunk computer sitting in front of you your steampunk gutar beside you with your wet cat on your lap you begin comparing said cat with some scary sea monster (I know a cruel way to speak of cats but I had to have some way to lead into the next link) only to think of the Cthulhu mythos, then as your reach to turn on the computer to look up more Lovecraft the computer strikes! your finger is now trapped in the maw of the Cthulthu computer!

Just as all hope is lost you wake from your horrible nightmare only to hear to iron lungs of lord vader himself as he forces from you your last breath. http://community.imaginefx.com/fxpos...ture36651.aspx

Now here is the link for the blog that lead me to all these things and more

Very aesthetically pleasing, even though I find the steampunk thing generally a bit "meh."

I wish my bass was as cool as that guitar.

The bad news is they don't produce them for selling, but if they ever start selling them I'm buying.

Wow. Thanks for re-sending me all the links I already have bookmarked on my computer.

Steampunk guitars are starting to annoy me. I'm wondering when people are going to stop modding their instruments and finally begin defining the damn musical genre. I can only take so much Abney Park.
Kind of.

Clockwork, there are a good few other bands out there in the 'steampunk' style- The Unextraordinary Gentlemen and Vernian Process to name a couple. Heck, there's Dr Steel, even.

Mhm, I'm aware. Well, of the latter two at least. Nonetheless, there is still an extraordinary lack of musical representation for a subculture that's picking up so fast. I'd remedy that, but I've no talent in musicmaking.

I LOVED his rendition of Hocus Pocus by Focus and What is and will never be by Led Zeppelin.

Thanks for posting this dude.
