Steam Powered Musical Revolution

Music actually is always better with robots.

Do you like music that your friends have probably never heard of before? Do you like steampunk? How about singing robots? Do you love ridiculous stage makeup? If you answered yes to those questions, have I got the band for you that you've probably never heard of before!


Steam Powered Giraffe! It's a musical band that was, according to lore, created in 1896 but brought to the public's eye in the late 2000s. Here's a music video that I think is a good introduction. It explains their supposed backstory.

Over the years they've become increasingly more popular, but have yet to be brought mainstream. That fact is a crying shame, though, considering that the music that they've done is extremely diverse ranging from folk all the way to rock.


Plus, in the majority of their videos, and even live performances, the band members act like robots! They move robotically, and they even sometimes malfunction. Another huge thing that this band has done, is they have taken a huge step for the transgender community. The lead singer, Isabella "Bunny" Bennett, or Rabbit as is her stage name, transitioned to be who she really was. She even modified the character known as Rabbit to reflect this! So below I have a comparison of before and after. Left is before, and right is after.


They even wrote a song that talks about it okay to be different from everybody else, which is really empowering.


This band is so supportive of all of their fans, and it's so great to have them as role models. I mean even kids can listen to them! Even picky people seem to like them after they've listened to them. I only say this because my dad liked them and he's so ridiculously picky about what music he'll subject himself to.

But don't take it just from me. Take a listen for yourself. Watch their music videos, or even their first movie (it's a definite watch, as it's hilarious). PLUS, their movie goes a good number of their original songs.


Or I mean, if covers are more your thing... I'm telling you, this band has it all, and we both know that's not easy to do.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
