Comments on: Mini-reviews: Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society, Infernal Machines; Star Trek; Nightlife at California Academy of Sciences. Then a roundup. And a brief political remark. Really an omnibus kind of a thing.

I’m married, not dead. I would riot if invited.

I think the steampunk thing is more a reference to getting this done outside of the large label system, and possible the cover art vibe.

Since when do you participate in riotous living on a Thursday?

But that track does do it rather strongly. Also, there’s a feel of it in Habeas Corpus. Also, I adore the end of the last track, which also has a dose of that feel, in an out-kind of a way. Sort of a brass soldiers marching on the Skies of America thing, savvy?

I can’t deny that I don’t see where the steampunk in DJA’s album is supposed to come in, except perhaps for the much-discussed cajon in the first track.
