Adam Lambert Rocks Steampunk Finery on Glee

Mere days after I wrote my Steampunk in the Mainstream post I watched the November 7 episode of Glee (Season 5, Episode 4). Adam Lambert shows up as “Starchild,” aka Elliott Gilbert, a golden-throated vision in top hat and tails to join Kurt’s band in NYC.


Music to Steampunk by: Just Glue Some Gears On It

Don’t be fooled by the title, this song is actually advocating that people DON’T simply glue gears on things. Thank you Reginald Pikedevant! This song is hilarious and I appreciate the sentiment.


Beats Antique- music to Steampunk by

“Growing like wildfire under the canopy of live electonica and world roots music comes a masterful merge of modern technology, live instrumentation and seductive performance, built of brass bands and glitch, string quartets and dubstep: the musical trio Beats Antique.”
