I like this original song about steampunk, composed and performed by Endarkened93. I think it’s fun and actually pretty good.

What do you think?

Yeah, I’m talkin’ ’bout steampunk
It’s really retro, but at the same time
it’s also techno
H.G. Wells did it pretty well
Jules Verne was great as hell
Yeah, I’m talkin’ ’bout Star Wars
and Final Fantasy Six
I gotta find me a steampunk chick
so we can make the make-believe come true

Wow, commerically licensed Lady Gaga costumes! I think they look pretty fun. I have no doubt that these will be HUGE this Halloween.

Costume Craze is our main sponsor, and I asked them if they had any prices yet. I was told to expect the prices to be in the $50-$60 range.

Fans are going to go nuts over these. Visit Costume Craze to view the full line of Lady Gaga costumes.

Watch the trailer for the upcoming Street Fighter High sequel. This time the gang will be singing and dancing!

Last spring, the Street Fighter High crew made a funny 10-minute video about the Street Fighter characters going to high school.

The musical sequel should be released this fall. Can’t wait to see it!

I was contacted by Joey, one of the crew members, who let me know about a gallery of on set photos. Thanks for the email, Joey!

Looks like you guys are having WAY too much fun!

Here’s a cool Pirate vs Ninja geddan video. I’m glad people are still making these. Get Down!

If you haven’t seen or heard of Geddan before… Geddan is a meme that originated in Japan. It’s a dance that pays tribute to a well known Nintendo cartridge glitch.

This video by Know Your Meme explains it very well.

Meet Jacqueline Feilich, known as the best female Elvis impersonator in the world. She was the first female impersonator to perform live in Graceland, and the only woman to appear in the worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Competition, held in Tupelo, Mississippi where Elvis was born.

Her costumes are incredible and her singing is excellent. Very, very cool!

Salon.com has a nice interview with her, definitely worth reading. You can also visit SheIsTheKing.com to view her photo gallery and music videos.

I have been fortunate enough in my career to have recorded an album, and written songs that have won international songwriting awards; I chose not to perform the originals so that I could concentrate on what inspires me musically – and that of course is Elvis. His career saw him cover most influential music genres including Gospel, Country, Rock, Pop & Blues. It is these styles which inspired my soul to want to explore that music further, and the potential of what could be by revitalizing those songs for today’s fickle music market.

At last night’s MTV Awards, Tom Cruise dressed as his Tropic Thunder character Les Grossman.

Not only did he bust some crazy dance moves — he did it with Jennifer Lopez! And good times were had by all.

What better way to celebrate Friday than with this insane cosplay music video. Watch as Jenn, also known as TealPirate, artfully transitions through about a million costumes.

This was put together by JenxtheJinx, a famous cosplay group in the UK. Great job! I find myself just watching this over and over.

Aren’t birthdays fun? Watch as someone in a chicken costume interrupts her sister’s class to wish her a happy birthday with a Lady Gaga-inspired dance.

The teacher must be pretty cool to allow the interruption, especially after getting sprayed with silly string. Looks like a fun time!

I came across this really interesting Instructable about how to make a Wireless Dance costume.

This looks really cool, and they’ve done a great job explaining how to make one. I’ll admit though, I’m still confused about what exactly a wireless dance costume is for. Hopefully someone can enlighten me in the comments below.

By running wires and pressure sensors throughout the costume, a computer can map the dancer’s movements. As we can see in the video, the dancer is able to generate sounds. I can hear a piano sound generated by the pressure sensor, and when she moves her arm she makes R2-D2ish noises.

So what is the point? To allow dancers to make their own “live” music while dancing? Based on what I’ve seen, I think a whole group of dancers wearing these sensors would sound very chaotic.

So please, Dear Readers, help me understand. Thank you.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Here a couple of videos to celebrate this festive day. First we have Rhett and Link dancing for tacos at a party in San Diego. These guys are awesome.

I also really like this “World’s Largest Woman” costume — spotted at the Dallas Zoo last year. What an amazing costume!

I hope everyone has a wonderful, festive day!
