This is possibly the most brilliant thing I have seen. Period.

They go by the name of Abney Park, and I highly recommend giving them a thorough listen. Some tracks sound similar, but the overall theme is captures so beautifully I wouldn’t care if it were three songs on repeat. The production levels are quite high and judging by their stage shows I would say that their financial backing stands as a testament to their ability to perform satisfactorily. On a whimsical rush of steam powered dopamine I realised I must have their discography. This is what life is all about, truly. Also I should not be allowed a credit card.

Furthermore, anyone who fails to see how amazingly awesome the concept steampunk airship pirates are is obviously made of a condensed isotope of fail that scientists have never seen before. So condensed in fact, it may just be a type of Failure Degeneracy Matter.

This year I am having my annual celebration in the theme borne of the Legendary Artist’s very imagination. When I first read his books, Jules Verne had this uncanny ability to consistantly make me challenge my belief’s of justice and nobility. Captain Nemo I found to be one of the most interesting characters in prose, purely for the unique take on piracy and chivalry that seemed so unpure. It is no secret that the Buccaneer lifestyle is coterminous with my own, so the character obviously hold a certain luster I wish I myself had.

While I doubt that I will be reprising the role of the Prince Dakkar himself, I will be making some tributes in my costume. I plan on some half decent photo journal goodness happening when I start to piece the costume together, not to mention some captivating moments from the night itself being uploaded after the fact. Here’s to plan and their smooth running.

*Chink*

Also; Phill has successfully guilted me into committing to NaPoWriMo ‘08. I say that as if I don’t relish the friendly “Kick up the arse” in the name of motivation.
