I love Take Me to Church by Hozier. I really do. So I was a bit hesitant to listen to this cover by Morgan James. But...
Well, just listen to her.
Goosebumps!
And so guys, this is the last of the summer song. But never fear, I’m always snoopping for new ‘vintage’ songs. Stay tuned!
Well, let me tell you that this is the first time I hear Melinda Doolittle and I really really like her. She’s an incredible voice and I love her style.
This is of course a cover of Britney Spears’s Toxic from the Postmodern Jukebox. I’m sorry Britney, but…
Another nice jazzy cover by Haley Reinhart with the Postmodern Jukebox. This is from Tove Lo, the song Habits.
I kind of like the original, but I have to admit that l like the 1930s jazz version a lot more. I know, I know, it’s me. But what about you? What do you think?
Hey guys, it’s the high of summer and I’ve decided to go light for this month. So what about some music to listen to in these hot summer days. You may even want to start dancing.

On Saturdays this month, I’ll share some of the Postmodern Jukebox tracks that I like the most. I…

It occurs to me that it's been quite some time since I last shered some music with you guys. Time to fix this!
My friend and dieselpunk fellow author Aaron Sikes (who's working on a dieselpunk story set in New Orleans) recently shared this piece on Twitter and I really enjoy it. Actually, I generally enjoy the…
A Christmas Carol by the Edison Production from 1910 is one of the first adaptations of Charles Dickens’s story – though probably not the first one.
STREGA UNBOUND – Dieselpunk films are rare to come by. This one is set during WWII and has a spy story vibe.
I actually have to thank Tome Wilson from dieselpunks.org for discovering this band… that is an Italian band from Palermo!
I couldn’t find a lot of info about them, though, other than they play techno-swing and they are published by a British label, Freeshly Squeezed Music, based in Brighton and specialized in vintage music and the…
I've discovered Unwoman thanks to Aaron Sikes, who mentioned her on Twitter.
It’s true that dieselpunk is a visual genre above all. Most of it is created by comics, illustrations and films. One of the reasons why Unwoman caught my attention is her video’s visuals. I like the atmosphere she creates, that undoubtedly reto feeling, that…
In 2009, Matthew Savege (The Dark Knight, X-Men: First Class, Doctor Who, among others) wrote and directed this short film featuring Noel Clarke (Doctor Who) in the lead role.
