Finally! After some months of concerted attempts to ingratiate myself, I have been namechecked on my favourite steampunk encephalopodcast "The Clockwork Cabaret" (which has recently become available via iTunes, if you wanted to check it out).
I proposed the necessity of a steampunk-emo crossover because, well, "steamo", it's too good a marketing label to pass up, right? This brilliant yet horrifying concept ran away with the entire episode, to the extent that there is now a competition going on to provide album art and lyrics for Clockwork Confessional's debut album "Bloodsoaked and Covered in Gears", with a prize of a $20 gift voucher redeemable at a store that sells squid hats (this is actually true).
Obviously I MUST WIN THIS. I can do the lyrics in my sleep, but all I have to make album art with is Paint. Many of you are experts at this kind of thing thanks to the Wikipedia album art meme, I don't suppose you could knock me up a quick album sleeve? I'm thinking a Jesus figure being crucified on a giant clockwork cog. Perhaps being prodded in his wounded side by a squid, though maybe that's a little bit too much. With obviously the name of the band in a nice Victorian/Gothic script.
I know I ask a lot, but there is a part share of a squid hat in this for you. At the very least a tentacle. |

Wow, that is unspeakably wonderful! I didn't expect anyone to be actually enticed by the fee of "a part-share in a squid hat", but we can send it back and forth over the Atlantic on a monthly basis or something.
Even if I do suspect you of trying to deflate the intense seriousness and majesty of the steamo genre with your "bloo-soaked", but I'll let it slide :D
Just for the benefit of anyone who's squeamish about bloo, here's a more mainstream version:  | |
