For everyone planning to kill themselves in the event of a Trump victory:

Don’t.

We need you. The world needs you. We’ve been through this before, in one way or another, and we have prevailed. Who benefits from your death? Only those who want you silenced.

There will be blue skies ahead. There will be triumphs. This is not the end of the world.

Do not go gentle - we are here today because of the stubborn refusal of our predecessors to go away. There are oases even in the darkest of times. You are not alone, and you have not been abandoned. There *will* be blue skies ahead, and you will live to see them.

review of quintessential

*tune of rockin around the xmas tree* boppin' around with the new cd it's bouncy and fun to play i'll be dancing very poorly and DELILAH'S HELLA GAAAAY

[spacemuffinz]

I feel like such an asskiss I’m seeing all these reviews of quintessential from people I’ve followed since the zoo days being all negative about it and stuff but like I am so proud of them bunny’s voice is on point Sam’s voice is on point David’s voice is on point the quality is golden I wanna hear the whole thing with a live band put Camille on a drum kit twice her size lol I love all the songs I love how everything is faster maybe they did it on purpose so people will actually stand at their shows. I’m sure other bands ask why the audience always sits and they’re like ..welp back in 1906 we played a gig at a zoo for 280 days on a one foot stage with shoddy audio and our audience was mostly tiny human worm pupples so everyone had to sit so that everyone could hear and see what was happening and eventually that somehow caught on like the plague and we dunno how to make it stop.. so this CD is them like HAHA. TRY TO SIT NOW. I love Sam so much. his voice is so impossible. Leopold was written perfectly parallel to Rex and Airheart. Only human only makes me sad I had no positive adultlike role models while I was growing up. i almost cried the first time I listened to it. I wish someone said this to me when I was like 8.

none of the songs sound too sellouty to me. I am kinda missing the primadramamoose spine like wired wrong or aeh but it would have offkiltered the general vibe the CD has too much. every song has that bouncy spg-ness signature sound. like suspender man and steamboat and clockwork. the mandolin is a key musical character again. love. love world of love is prob my fav throwback videowise and I hope they do a new one for it. salgexicon has never been a fav song because wow supernerdgeek much /lol. but I have a feeling this CD is a godhand intro against the upcoming n6cr6st6r CD. like. HERES A BUNCH MORE HEROS YAY WARHAMMERTIME IN 6..5..4… … … so I can’t not love it. some people keep comparing their new stuff to the old stuff and saying there’s not as much character to the songs like album one. the character you speak of tho is actually from it being so low quality. it was nearly recorded on a reel to reel tape deck lol. which I understand does give it a certain charm. but they’re hip with the now times, honeybee. they have all the tech so they use it. I’m happy there aren’t any infinite loop songs. like scary world and clockwork and Rex and brass goggles where they just sing the same verse for five minutes. I think it’s a songwriting evolution. and when they do it’s at least more interesting with the choirvoices. the harmonies on this is the tightest. the voices are also the music. they’re basically a harmonica. overdrive has always been a fav cuz its so freaking silly and I love silliness. so much. everybody dance now. there’s a couple songs that have that weird tropical beat that makes me think of them little dancing palm trees with sunglasses robot toys from yesteryear. like the veggie tales Cebu song. I don’t quite love it as much as the rocknroller stuff but it’s cute. the original love world of love was more my jam but his voice has improved a lot on this one. I could probably go on forever lol I love spg so much they have yet to let me down

Please follow my other social media accounts!

Howdy everyone! I have been posting to tumblr less and less and I’d like to redirect anyone who is currently following me to follow me on my Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook page. This tumblr blog will still be up, but I won’t be actively posting to it. I haven’t been directly posting to tumblr in quite awhile aside from a few reblogs, and rather than try and divide my time between multiple social media platforms, I’ll just be using Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook (but they’ll all be linked together, saving me time.) The band will still be posting through the official Steam Powered Giraffe tumblr (@officialsteampoweredgiraffe), so be sure to follow that if you’re not already!

There must be something more to life, that we can’t even know…

A sketch that shouldn’t have come this far, but, you know…Vice Quadrant. I couldn’t decide what to draw her in so I just kinda did a tiny bit of all her outfits.

I know this is suppose to be an exclusive to Engineer-eteers, but I needed to share this. Tonight has been especially hard for my brain. I typed up four different long blog posts to vent the madness. After I wrote each one, I saved it as a draft and thought better of it. There are so many things that go through my head…there are so many blogs I wish I could just share and write and be introspective with. But tonight I’m simply feeling too vulnerable and too compromised to put my brain through all of that. Enough is enough for one night…I just want to share my mind with you in the only way the words make sense. I want to sleep.
