Belated Links: BSC L and Steam Punk Jazz

I’ve had a busy week and haven’t had a chance to post a few links to larger issues in the blogosphere.

First off, Duane Smith post a most abnormal Biblical Studies Carnival XLX (aka L). If for some reason you have yet to check it out, please do.

Second, the Steam Punk big band jazz ensemble Darcey James Argue’s Secret Society played a gig in Philadelphia back in the summer that aired on the local PBS affiliate last week. See a post on the gig at the Secret Society blog and watch the full episode here. I’ve been quite taken with their debut album Infernal Machines. Good music to have in the background while editing dissertations or translating Akkadian prayers.
