I know that people change and have real lives outside of their (former) job, but I find it really flabbergasting that Jonathan Sprague is a father. Imagine you’re his daughter and you learn you’re also part metal man

I was just looking for some photos in official accounts of SPG members and I’m so excited
WHY THESE PEOPLE ARE SO CUTE AND BEAUTIFUL???
Like… Bunny is unbelievably beautiful. David has incredible charisma. Both of twins have perfect facial expressions. Chelsea and Camille have amazing hair. Bryan Barbarin is extremely cute. Sam Luke has wonderful moustache and sideburns. Jonathan Spraque is… idk very handsome??? I think those words don’t fit
They look like models who are ready to be photographed for bestselling magazines

The random idea of The Jon being the headless horseman and having a horse made of quesadilla
As I know the headless horseman supposed to hold a jack-o-lantern and not his actual head, but I remembered it too late, so it is what it is
The horse here is definitely my favorite part, is was relly fun to draw and it turned out pretty much how I wanted

Hey I know nothing about steam powered giraffe but ur mechs Ben diagram post intrigued me, could u explain it pls?
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Steam Powered Giraffe is a wonderful musical act with elements of comedy, pantomime and puppetry (shout out to GG the Giraffe).
Created in 1896 by Peter A. Walter I, the band consists of The Spine (David Michael Bennet), Rabbit (Isabella "Bunny" Bennet) and Zer0 (Bryan Barbarin).
Former members are Upgrade (Erin Burke) [from 2008 to 2011], The Jon (Jonathan Sprague) [from 2008 to 2012] and Hatchworth (Sam Luke) [from 2011 to 2016, although he 'became' a robot only after The Jon's departure].
RELEASED ALBUMS
please note that spg's style varies from album to album and sometimes even from song to song, so every new tune is a new adventure ;]
Album One - the first one, most old-timey in vibe. with that one song you might have heard. there's also a 2011 version of it without upgrade, but with Ice-Cream Man
The 2¢ Show - second album filled with train trips, cowboys, airplanes and this other song you might have heard (insect edition)
MK III - third album, with songs letting us know more about robots themselves (my personal favourite)
The Vice Quadrant part 1 and part 2 - fourth album, 2h space opera and a masterpiece, happening in two parallel universes. even most devoted fans have to check out the timeline sometimes to remember what's going on
Quintessential - fifth album with individual songs and the dnd anthem ever
1896 - sixth (and the newest!) album with absolute bops and foreshadowing for the new album. also, a song about a band sang by a band of people playing the robot band. bandception.
The Seventh - an upcoming album. all we have now is this trailer.
Bonus music
Music from SteamWorld Heist - new space-pirate themed songs and covers of older, popular tunes made for the SteamWorld Heist game. definitely deserves more recognition
covers and stand-alone songs not included on any of the albums
STUFF WORTH CHECKING OUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE
general info about the band/members
lore about creation of the band + timelines of both their fourth album "the vice quadrant" and the band itself
spg comics (now also on webtoon!)
@owlhari's youtube channel, with really fun early-performance compilations and more recent videos discussing lore, theories and the band itself
obviously the youtube channel of the band itself (if you dig around a bit you can find some pretty cool videos, such as these ones)
not to self-advertise, but spg community on tumblr is pretty neat. i've met wonderful people there and also found out that colonel walter ate dog food, so it's worth it to visit our tag sometime, i guess ;3
#the post is open so feel free to add something if you feel like it!#sorry it took me so long anon but my app glitched so i had to wait until i could get my laptop#not adding 'fandom' wiki becaus of stuff they do with ai and monertisation. hope it doesnt make stuff harder#ALSO JUST FOUND OUT GG IS A TUMBLRINA??#sorry the post is long i got too excited#long post#spg#ask#anon ask#anon#spg lore

You said i could submit more propaganda so here you go.
Steam powered giraffe propaganda time because i can so:
They are a band of steampunk robots. And a couple of months ago they celebrated their 15-year anniversary. They do a lot of different genres with their songs. For example, honeybee is slow and rips your heart out whenever you listen to it. Then you have fart patrol which is goofy and you can't help but smile. And there's the band lore.
A guy called Peter A Walter built them in 1896 to impress this girl called Delilah Morreo
Who then died then got brought back as a vampire by the other guy trying to impress her
Then she killed the other guy and found a way to fix her being a vampire and became a wraith.
(It is worth also mentioning that she is canonically a lesbian)
Other lore facts include
They are canonically war veterans and pretty much all of them have fought in multiple wars
The Beatles opened for them at one point
The robots run on QWERTY "The first truly intelligent computing device for the home of 1999"
Ok time for character facts
First up Rabbit (Played by Isabella Bunny Bennett)
She changes her appearance so much that it is hard to keep track sometimes
Was in love with a toaster her name was Jenny (Jenny got dropped 8 minutes after she was bought and Rabbit didn't have the warranty)
In a couple of the iterations of her costume, she has worn up to 6 belts
Next The Spine (Played by David Michael Bennett) (Probably worth noting that Isabella and David are twins)
He has a titanium alloy spine that's his backstory
He can detach his spine from his chassis
He loves the wild west and cowboys
He has the brain cell (always)
Zer0 (Played by Bryan Barbarin)
Zer0 was built out of three incomplete systems
He was left in a basement for nearly 100 years
Has his own cereal brand called ZER-0'S
Hachworth (Played by Sam Luke)
He has a moustache (That's all you need to know about him)
The Jon (Played by Jonathan Sprague)
The Jon is powered by crystal pepsi
He apparently has no brain, and inside his chassis is a void in which several hot dogs and a koi fish float around.
He has a cowboy mode
And last but not least Upgrade (Played by Erin Burke)
She has not received an upgrade since 1996
She left the band in 2011 to become a princess
Her existence was erased from the lore when she left the band then she got retconned back into the lore (I don't know when exactly but around the time of the band's 10th anniversary)
I would do things with the albums but that would take waaayyy too long. Thanks for letting me ramble they are all i have been able to think of for months. Yea so if you get a minute listen to their music and i hope I've convinced you to vote for them.

Do you like any celebrities who is out of all your tops, but you still respect them? Who are they, if it's not a secret?
It sounds rediculous, but I have top 10 of outtops :)
1. Daisy May Cooper
Some people don’t like her on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Me too. Although she’s a cute girl, looks very vivid. But you know what? She’s actually very nice person. I’m following her on instagram for a long time, but only recently watched her account. She’s extremely different from TV! She can make quite useful stuff! She isn’t silly! For example, I remember she made a reel where she loudly says “No” This video was for the case if your self anxiety tries to get you, just say NO! It’s actually works! And I have noticed in some shows that she calms down people when they get nervous. Quite possibly that she’s a psychologist. I respect this people!
2. Oasis/Gallagher Brothers
2 beautiful men having great vocals. This band is one of the first when I started my interests to Brit Pop and indie music :)
3. Vic & Bob
I genually thank this couple for Slade, at least now I know who they were :D Also thank the for the Shooting Stars! In addition to sketches, it is worth to note how much funny they are apart. Bob Mortimer is an example of this on any show. It's really impossible to listen to him without a smile, he's just an incredibly crazy and funny person. He's crazy stories always killing ;D What can I say about Vic Reeves. I don't see him on the shows so much as Bob, but I think he's not worse than him at all. And both they are power!
4. Ant & Dec
Oh, this men! :) Some people know them as singers, but I know them as crazy and funny showmen. Their pranks are awesome, always laughing watching them in youtube. Their laugh make me laughing also, so genuine and contagious and they staing beautiful ;D
5. Stephen Mangan
It's hard for me to call myself his fan. But there is something attractive about this guy. I don't even know. Probably some charisma, personality. I like him being on the shows :)
6. Morgana Robertson
I found out about her in Taskmaster. She reminds me Noel a bit. She also plays different characters and doing different voices. She has beautiful big eyes and her smile makes her wobderful. Also loves giggling, smiling, laughing and being adorable :)
7. James Acaster
He became my favourite when firstly debuted as a member in NMTB. He was on the top for the ages. But now he isn’t. Yeah, I still watch the shows with he’s partition. But after his jokes in new NMTB about Noel who couldn’t be there for some reason, he was out. Probably, he joked, but I found it quite mean. I watched this episode with sad feeling that I was deeply disappointed in him. I doubt that he’ll ever be on my top 20 again. Only out of the tops.
8. Michael Patrick Kelly
The only celeb who is almost not English speaking and I like him. He is an Irish-America singer, musician and composer. Speaks mostly German. Kelly was born in Dublin. He came to fame as the third-youngest member of the pop and folk band The Kelly Family. He was well known as one of the main and popular members in the family band (Paddy at this period) After the band he still gorgeous and having a beautiful voice with the light accent.
9. Katherine Ryan
The most bitchy celebrity I know. She is beautiful and at the same time quite harsh. I respect her for being drop dead gorgeous. And her humor is nice ;) Thanks Mock The Week for let me find out about her more :)
10. Jonathan Sprague
Was The Jon in Steam Powered Giraffe. This band is a pantomime music project, something like steam punk clowns. Jon was a silly doll with cylinder hat. But after leaving the band he become a normal guy. And he is the most straight character of all the members of his band. And I think he looks beautiful :)
#Noel Fielding#noel-fielding-web-page#Ask noel-fielding-web-page#Daisy May Cooper#Noel Gallagher#Liam Gallagher#Oasis#Bob Mortimer#Vic Reeves#Vic & Bob#Anthony McPartlin#Declan Donnelly#Ant & Dec#Stephen Mangan#Morgana Robinson#James Acaster#Michael Patrick Kelly#The Kelly Family#Katherine Ryan#Jonathan Sprague#The Jon#Steam Powered Giraffe#Answered#Thank You

BRASS GOGGLES BY STEAM POWERED GIRAFFE IS LITERALLY MURDER DRONES'S THEME SONG, NO I WILL NOT CHANGE MY MIND AND I WILL FIGHT YOU.
no but seriously it fits so well, the thing is this song has gone through many different versions it can fit the show in different ways.
like the song can be told in multiple POVs, but I think some version fit some characters better. For example the most current version of brass goggles (I think) is the one that includes "tea time", (for context some version aren't officially in platforms as it has only been performed by the band at their concerts/live shows but you can listen to it in youtube since a lot of their live performances are posted there) fits CYN as the main singer so well! ( I also feel she can fit as "upgrade"s part in the 2008 version)
tho yes even tho the song in all of it versions has a very old timey vibe (which honestly in that case fits the CYN and the whole creepy manor fiasco) lyric wise it fits a lot of the characters.
tho i think the 2013 version gives it a much more energy so gives it a different vibe (am talking the walter robotics expo and the one at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego) and I think it fits Uzi better bc the instrumentals and vocals go HARD in those performances of that version.
honestly any version of brass goggles can be sung by multiple characters from Murder Drones, each having their part.
there are so many songs from SPG that can fit murder drones so well, mostly lyric wise.
honestly we need sci-fi vibe songs about robot singing about the experience of living.
btw if u wanna know how many versions this song has its around 5 i think:
-album one (2009 version) this version of the album had the backup vocals of Erin Burke who portrayed "Upgrade" before she left the band in 2011
-album one (2012) the most known one
-"2013 version" - in this "version" which was performed at the Walter Robotics expo and at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego had much more energy and intensity and had an added drum solo.
-Music from SteamWorld heist (2015) - this version made for the game had a more upbeat but not necessarily an intense instrumental, and according to the SPG wiki,the developers game team sang alongside the band in the chorus.
btw in the 2013 and 2015 version had the backup vocals of Samuel luke, who was the og drum player before he joined as "Hatchworth" taking over the role of "the Jon" (who was portrayed by jonathan sprague, who left the band in late 2012)
-Tea time/Tea break (2014-present in performances) this version contains a "tea break" between before the final chorus and bridge of the song.
also in 2015 in performances the drums where no longer presented and instead was replaced by a keyboard and went HARD when the song had the "tea break" part (I think I know why this was made but GOD the history of the changes inside the band is hella long)
and btw in some performances you'll see a different member of the band, which is zero who joined the band in 2016 after Hatchworth/sam luke left
oh and in some version some lyrics of the song change, although most of the time they are minor ones and are mostly present in the the backup vocals.
anyways thank for reading me going down a rabbit hole of a pantomime-robot-band-lore-song named after a steampunk website
(also pls check out Steam Powered Giraffe, they are seriously super talented people, and just in case ALL of their albums and songs follow different vibes, like you will not find a song similar to brass goggles in their other albums. )
(Oh and btw Rabbit (the character) and isabella/"bunny" (Rabbit's performer) is trans and uses She/Her pronouns, but she started the band before she transitioned, so in some older performances you'll see rabbit with an outdated design and pronouns, am just saying this so some of yall dont get confused when watching their old content. Also Rabbit has the tendency to constantly change her design (which makes sense why this song has so many versions since its sang by rabbit and contains heavy lore of the SPG storyline))
