All Steamed Up, Nov. 10, '12

All Steamed Up is a new event, of which this was the test run to see how well I'd fit in the space. The venue is in a Steam-/Diesel-punk region known as New Babbage in Second Life and I took the opportunity to make this playlist hew more closely to just those musical styles instead of blending them with Rock/Jazz/Blues/... as I have with most of my other sets. People seemed to enjoy this and I will be starting to do this set fortnightly starting the end of December.

All that said, here's the link to this set, and here's the playlist:
