So fucking much to blog. Might happen, might not. I will say this, though.

Confidential to the sweet young things backstage: Tom Waits? NOT STEAMPUNK.

He has never:
1) worn stripey tights,
2) sung about being an Airship Captain, or
3) hot glued miscellaneous watch parts and chicken bones to a bowler hat.

NOT. STEAMPUNK.

Frankly, that Renfield costume is closer to steampunk than most of the on-the-street SPunks I've seen will ever dream of getting.

Oh god!! THEY GOT THE TOM TOO!!!!!

[superdaintykate]

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE

Now, now, now. They do that to top hats too.

(Although it is possible to wear stripey tights without being steampunk. They just stole that from goths anyway.)

I am pretty sure you are preaching to the choir amongst my FL inre: stripey tights. ;)

I always thought if you sang about being an airship captain it made you prog. (Cf. "Imperial Zeppelin" by Peter Hammill) So is steampunk just prog with clock gears glued to your leather dustman's jacket?

I think for some people S.Punk is pizzicato strings and dustbin percussion, though that might be overthinking it. Plus the gears on the leather duster. And goggles.
