watch it: Abney Park, “Airship Pirate” (steampunk music video)
Another geek subculture I am either not cool enough or too cool to embrace: What I want to know is this: Who certifies that all those electric instruments and amps and such are steam powered? Cuz what would Jules Verne think if they weren’t? Seriously, though: Abney Park’s Web site is gorgeous…
watch it: “PLANET P PROJECT – WHY ME”

watch it: “Beastie Boys – An Open Letter To NYC”
My brother Ken sent me this yesterday as an antidote to 9/11 memories: Word.
watch it: “The Wave Pictures – ‘Just Like A Drummer’”
Something cheery on this seventh anniversary of 9/11, because I don’t want to think about how there’s still a big hole in the ground in Lower Manhattan. For Christ’s sake, we defeated Hitler and the Japs in less time. The Wave Pictures – 'Just Like A Drummer' @ Yahoo! Video via Very Short List
