2011, Week 14: And it started so well...

We had a decent showing of people for this week's show. Everything went nicely, even if I did forget to hit the record button on time. And then... Well, I'll explain during the setlist:

3. Calm and Passion by Olga Scotland
4. Lange Must Du Leiden by Lux Interna
5. Backgammon by The Absinthe Drinkers
6. Without You by Dark Princess
7. Timothy by Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer

...And that's where I suddenly realized I'd neglected to removed last week's set from the 'play this week' folder and replace it with the new set. Boy was my face red. So I switched playlists really quickly and this is the rest of what got played.

2011, Week 13: This week's set and some blog news

OK, let's go with the news first. I'm sure you've noticed the sporadic nature of the "On This Day in Steampunk History" posts I've been making. This is because I was trying to do it all on the fly with no lead time. So here's what I'm going to do instead: I'm going to work ahead. I know, I know, it's a crazy idea and it probably won't work, but I've got to try it. Specifically, I'm going to comb through the various "on this day..." sites & lists that I can find and garner ideas for upcoming days and plan ahead about which events I will be picking & choosing from. Then, once I have a month's events plotted out, I'll start writing the various events up and setting them up to post at the beginning of each day. When I've got one month done, I'll start working on the next month. Hopefully I'll be able to stay ahead this way.

Now that that's out of the way, let's see about listing tonights playlist and setting things up for you to be able to get the various songs for yourself (as much as I can, anyway):
