This is almost more scary than fun, with the first being a protest song about one of the big issues of today, student debt. The second song of this set is from Duel Core, a great Nerdcore tune centered around the concept of Drink All The Booze, Hack All The Things.
The first track is from the band Body Parts with the song Doing Things. Not only do I like the music, but the video for this song is also silly fun, a great combination. The second track is UK band China Rats doing To Be Like, and again these are from the SXSW Showcasing Artist collection.
The band is called The Slants, the song title is Love Letters From Andromeda, and the footage is from Tai Chi Zero, a Steampunk Kung-Fu movie coming out on DVD today. The second one is the band National Campaign doing another music video for the same movie, called The Stand. Enjoy.
Abney Park lead singer Captain Robert put together this quick and dirty instruction video on how to give your TV a Steampunk look. They also just posted a new live video online, so I had to include it here. The DIY instructions will work just fine for many models of TVs, but some other models would need something more elaborate in the way of masking. I love the fact that it is such an easy TV mod, makes me think of other equally easy projects one might try.
If Edgar Allen Poe had a team, it would have to be the Baltimore Ravens, wouldn’t it? The latest song from MC Lars is Flow Like Poe, another nice little slice of Nerdcore.
How many tons does your rock band weigh? That is something of a concern when the band Compressor Head goes on tour, since they mass somewhere around the value of several average automobiles. Not a group you would want to share an overseas flight with, unless you had your own separate escape sequence in case of emergencies. Stickboy does the drums, using 4 arms, 2 legs, 1 head, and no brain (the latter is something of a tradition amongst drummers), while Fingers brings 78 purpose built digits to the lead guitar. There are several other bots in the band, and I am really hoping to get to see them play live some time soon (for several nonstandard values of the term “Live”)
