I was just looking through Etsy user Edmdesigns’ store, and I must say - she does fine work. If you’re into the steampunk stuff we cover, like that spectacular ergonomic keyboard and non-functional headset, then you’ll go ape shit for some of the designs she’s come up with.

From steampunk cufflinks to steampunk bow ties, this store has 217 items for sale and all of them are creative DIY pieces you can wear or pretend you made. Whatever works best at cocktail parties.

Whether you’re a Sirius XM radio subscriber or not, maybe you’ve heard it’s dropped the punk channels. Subscribers are outraged at the fact that XM Fungus and Sirius Punk were dropped, replaced by an AC/DC channel. That’s AC/DC, all day, everyday. AC/DC? They only have, like, 17 albums.

Why wouldn’t Sirius XM replace every punk band in existence with a band like Rush? At least Rush has 18 albums. What Sirius XM is trying to say is, it doesn’t like punk and it doesn’t appreciate it’s punk subscribers. Attempting to raise your concerns to Sirius XM will only result in a run-around reply. It appears Sirius XM has closed the door on punk music. That’s so not punk. Evan Dorkin would not be pleased.

Sirius XM says punk is dead. Sign the petition if you disagree.

What’s cooler than the horror punk band the Misfits? Pretty much everything. But mix their infamous skull logo with the endearing visage of MAD Magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman and you’ve got yourself a winner. More hip than an Alfred E. Neuman LEGO mosaic but less controversial than Circuit City’s embarrassing moment with Mad Magazine, this shirt is sure to raise your cool factor exponentially.

In our modern metrosexual-filled era, one always has to look suave. Crippled or not, walking sticks make anyone look snazzy. However, not everyone is into steampunk gear, like this gimp mask. That’s alright though, because this cane has a certain level of class to it. The telescope mounted on it is collapsible and concealable within the walking stick’s solid African rosewood case.

This isn’t a cheap telescope your mother picked up at the mall, either. With a 3X magnification, 60 degrees of freedom and a locking mechanism so you don’t lose site of your heading, it’ll make looking at the sky pleasant, so long as you can stand on your own two feet. It’s $89.95 and for the love of god, don’t fall over your bad foot while looking for Uranus.

Steampunk Gas Mask 9 is a new take on gimp suits everywhere. You wouldn’t wear this in public, so why not sport it during steamy sadomasochistic adventures with your significant other in the privacy of your bedroom? The designer Bob Basset is either into bondage masks or some other freaky shit we never knew existed.

A Soviet-era gas mask enhanced with refined leather and brass makes for either an excellent Halloween costume or some kinky experiences in the sack. Just make sure you don’t leave it out in the rain or get fluids on it, OK?

And we use the term “hardcore” very loosely here, since many consider the corporate ‘punk’-ness of Hot Topic to be hardcore. So for those Avril and Korn fans who buy their black gear from those sorts of trendy punk-lite shops, the Studded Camera Strap seems like something right up your alley. Especially if you prefer holding your camera, rather than strapping it to a tree.

Available in a variety of dyed leather variations, those who love the smell of well-maintained cow hide will surely love the authentic leather of the X-Stich Strap, and of course, the strap is adjustable to your stubby washable-tattoo covered arms. Get yours for $140. — Andrew Dobrow

We spotted this Quackers Punk Duck and fell in love. It’s such a nice remake of the traditional yellow rubber ducky made famous from Ernie on Sesame Street. This duck wouldn’t put up with Ernie’s crap. The movement that turned a generation into rebels has created something so much more worth while. Novelty ducks! Complete with spiked choker necklace, a silver mohawk, and a bitchy expression.

Spice up bath time with the Quackers Punk Duck for £5.99 from Totally Funky. Just make sure the little rascal doesn’t spit in your face or start calling you a “wanker”. — Andrew Dobrow
