Klaude throws a tastefully quiet and demure tea party while her sister is away. Almost nothing is broken that cannot be fixed and nearly everyone leaves with the same hat they arrived in. Many thanks to Derek and friend of Bohemian Noir Photography, the lovely Joei Reed of tiny hat fame and my spiritualist friend Mr Edwin. 4.27.09 Playlist: White Stripes - Conquest Squirrel Nut Zippers - Trou Macacq Slow Poisoner - Le Grand Zombi Hackensaw Boys - Gospel Plow Gogol Bordello - Immigrant Punk Mr B, Gentleman Rhymer - Piece of my Mind Unextraordinary Gentlemen - Open Arms Empty Air Beat Circus - Coney Island Creepshow Botanica - Broken Bicycles DeVotchKa - The Enemy Guns Asuka Sakai and Ado Mizomori - A Crimson Rose and A Gin and Tonic Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire - Depression Pasillo Decemberists - Chimbly Sweep They Might Be Giants - Meet James Ensor Vernian Process - Maple Leaf Rag Professor Elemental - Cup of Brown Joy Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship? - Don't Go Lemon Jelly - Experiment #6 Tiger Lillies - Weeping Chandelier Squirrel Nut Zippers - You're Driving Me Crazy Man Man - Engrish Bwudd 2 Man Gentleman Band - Hindenburg Disaster Reverend Glasseye - God Help You Dumb Boy Jay Munly - Wee Gee the Uninvited Blues Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Gamma Ray Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Ship Song My Chemical Romance - Blood Logo: David Göbel, bulletride.deProduced by the Clockwork Cabaret.

The sisters show their love and wax poetic about the steampunk scene. They also babble incessantly at each other as they celebrate Klaude's return from out west and prepare for Emmett to be away on business. 04.13.09 Playlist: The Slow Poisoner - Come to Me Polka Haunt Us - Fisher Bird Girl Vernian Process - The Alchemist's Vision Nathan Oliver - A Dark History My Chemical Romance - Blood Unwoman - Wicked Game Babyshambles - There She Goes Zydepunks - Angel Whiskey Balkan Beat Box - Babibi Min Zaman (BBB Mix) Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys - Viktagraph DeVotchKa - Such a Lovely Thing Cake - End of the Movie Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Johnny Appleseed Jolie Holland - Moonshiner Nouvelle Vague - Dancing with Myself The Rescues - All By Myself White Stripes - Conquest!

While the Klaude's away, the Emmett will play. Of course, that also seems to entail having some recording issues and as Emmett is not all that savvy in the technical department, you'll have to forgive her. Somehow the opening of the show and the last song have disappeared from the cylinder. Hopefully, Klaude will know what to do when she returns from her journey to the west.

Klaude here. I've had it up to my lunatic fringe with all the nonsense I've had to tolerate from my sister. I'm so sorry to leave you all this way, but I'm through. I can't take it anymore. I'm done, I'm out, I'm flying away. She can post the audio to the podcast or not, who cares? I'm getting in Time Out with my bees and I'm flying as far away from her as I can. Bollocks to this. I promised I'd post our last playlist. Now I'm finished. Best to you all. Please don't hold it against me. added by Emmett Lovely! I present my little sister, everybody! I'm finished with all this nonsense too. Good riddance to clumsy, unreliable rubbish. I hope you can remember the better times of the show, but right now all I can think about is wanting to blast her airship out of the sky. I'm sorry it had to end like this. Another disastrous incident in my disastrous life. 3.30.09 Playlist: DeVotchKa - Charlotte Mittnacht (the fabulous destiny of...)

Both of the sisters had a rough weekend and are a bit exhausted. So to amuse themselves they ask their listeners to tell them words or phrases that they don't like the sound of... like, bulbous or fish sandwich. 03.23.09 Playlist: Muse - Knights of Cydonia Lyle Lovett - Old Friend (from Deadwood) Maxwell/Mosher - The Kraken Chris Randall - St James Infirmary Blues Karen Dalton - Katie Cruel Kanon Wakeshima - Still Doll Tom Waits - Alice Arcade Fire - No Cars Go Luminescent Orchestrii - Militsa Chris Vrenna - Flying on the Wings of Steam Nick Cave - Fire Down Below Rasputina - Bad Moon Rising Cake - Sad Songs and Waltzes Jo Gabriel - Mistress of Time The Handsome Family - Tesla's Hotel Room Musee Mecanique - The Propellers The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing - Fox The Tenth Stage - Cinderella's Revenge Two Man Gentleman Band - There'll Be Time for Loving The Masquerade Project - Steam Logo: David Göbel, bulletride.deProduced by the Clockwork Cabaret.

During the testing phase of the 'Klaudamated Slapamaphone', poor Klaude was slapped back hard enough that it caused her to be laid up for a few days. So, Emmett is left to handle the show by herself. But, not to fear, dear listeners, all this means is that the 'Steamo' contest has been postponed for one week, giving all you, Mister & Miss Pokeys, a chance to get in your submissions. 03.09.09 Playlist: The Slow Poisoner - Todo Es Mal The Scarring Party - Everything I Touched Caught Fire Alexandre Desplat - Electricity Clara Rockmore - La Vie En Rose Unwoman - What Lips My Lips Have Kissed The Tuna Helpers - Blueberry Head Man Man - The Ballad of Butter Beans Split Lip Rayfield - High Price of Necromancy The Zydepunks - Dear Molly Mr. B, the Gentlemen Rhymer - Straight Outta Surrey Squirrel Nut Zippers - Good Enough for Granddad Hayseed Dixie - Black Dog Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys - Viktagraph Tom Waits - A Little Drop of Poison Legendary Shack Shakers - Agony Wagon Birdseatbaby - China Doll What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? - Hanging in a Tree Two Man Gentlemen Band - Let's Make a Sandwich Rasputina - Cage in a Cave Jonathan Coulton - Skullcrusher Mountain Beat Circus - The Ghost of Emma Jean Uncle Leon & the Alibis - Baby Got Back Asylum Street Spankers - Digga Digga Do Holly Golightly & the Brokeoffs - Devil Do The Gothic Archies - Scream & Run Away Johnny Depp & Helena Bonham Carter - My Friends (from 'Sweeney Todd') Voltaire - This Ship's Going Down Gus Viseur - Jeannette Robbie Williams - It's De-Lovely Harry Connick, jr. - If I Only Had a Brain Madeline Kahn - I'm Tired (from Blazing Saddles)  Logo: David Göbel, bulletride.deProduced by the Clockwork Cabaret.

Thanks to a listeners suggestion the sisters run a contest to make name a Steampunk/Emo (now dubbed Steamo) band. Is this a good thing?

The sisters are surprised by a delivery of hats, and not just normal hats - a squid hat and a bee hat! Which, of course, causes the sisters to breakdown in uncontrollable laughter as they use their turntables as god intended- for squid/bee hat twirling races. 02.23.09 playlist: Southern Culture on the Skids - Oh Lonesome Me Southern Culture on the Skids - Muswell Hill Southern Culture on the Skids - Engine Engine #9 Ditty Bops - Wishful Thinking Luminescent Orchestrii - Nasty Tasty Dr Steel - Lament for a Toy Factory Tiger Lillies - Besotted Mother The Denver Gentlemen - The Legs of Polka Modest Mouse - Float On Sarah Vaughan - Perdido Reverend Glasseye - Cold House Hymns BirdEatsBaby - Shiver up the Spine Unextraordinary Gentlemen - Mr Soot's Little Black Book Polka Haunt Us - Blank Face Goblins Squirrel Nut Zippers - Good Enough for Granddad Zydepunks - Angel Whiskey Current 93 - All the Pretty Horses Beirut - Sunday Smile Neko Case - Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis Rasputina - Transylvanian Concubine The Smiths - Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want Puppini Sisters - Sisters Arcade Fire - Woodlands National Anthem Bastard Fairies - Everyone Has a Secret The Snake, The Cross, The Crown - Cakewalk  Logo: David Göbel, bulletride.deProduced by the Clockwork Cabaret.

The Davenport sisters and Phineas enjoy an evening in each other's company. A new postcard in the increasingly disasterous life of the Klaude-o-tron is read alud, new music releases are discussed and future travel plans are bandied about. Oddly, without any attempt to do so, Emmett manages to play three songs that begin with train noises, and Klaude wonders if it's not a sign to stay away from trains for awhile. 02.16.2009 Playlist: Muse - Knights of Cydonia The Arcade Fire - No Cars Go Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Let the Bells Ring Tom Waits - I Don't Wanna Grow Up Squirrel Nut Zippers - Danny Diamond Robbie Williams - It's DeLovely Zoe Keating - We Insist Kilby Snow - John Henry Man Man - Tunneling Through the Guy Mike Surratt - Ghost Train Luminescent Orchestrii - Jarba Beat Circus - The Ghost of Emma Jean Einsturzende Neubauten - Blume Asylum Street Spankers - Some of these Days Tiger Lillies with the Kronos Quartet - Learned Pig The Zydepunks - Dear Molly Alarm Will Sound - 4 Legendary Shack Shakers - Agony Wagon The Magnetic Fields - Two Characters in Search of a Country Song DaVinci's Notebook - Hot Soup Unextraordinary Gentlemen - Skeleton Goes to Town   Logo: David Göbel, bulletride.deProduced by the Clockwork Cabaret.
