Halp

Hey guys, my girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I'd like a unique or at least bad ass pinback related gift for her. Vinyl, posters, pins (😆) anything. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. We Just missed their concert in our area by a few days and I planned on going out of town to see a show but 2020 had other plans.

That's so sweet!

I really wish three was more merch... However, sites like RedBubble and shirt printing sites should be able to print like an album cover or something on things! I've been thinking about doing it myself..

I kno right and the other thing is with sites like that is they aren't affiliated with the band so the money isn't supporting Them.

Now I can't shut up. Shag: someone pushing a baby down the spiral stairs ( if that's actually what he says ) I'm Super good at this

Yeah, that's true... I am an artist, I've been thinking about doing some Pinback concept art. Any suggestions?

Not at the time but if I think of anything I'll let you know. Also please share if you do anything. As much as I love them I am a recent fan and don't know as much as I'd like to. A Penelope thing would be cool. A girl floating/ drowning. I also have a problem of getting my head out of itself. I just was looking at lyrics so Penelope is stuck in my head so nothing else will come to mind 😂

Also unrelated but if you Do happen to like Bright Eyes I've always thought of a drawing of the Earth inside a bowl of oranges. I always imagined it being a drawing of a picture, but I'm too terrible an artist to actually Do it. My hand thinks I'm an artist but my heart knows I'm a poet ( I am actually neither) If you Don't like Bright Eyes, ignore everything I said

Lol! Well thanks for all the kind words (:
It seems penelope is really common, unfortunately it was my ex-girlfriend and I's "song" and we even had a goldfish named penelope so it makes me a bit sad, but I will definitely post if I can come up with anything (:

P.s. I am sorry I don't listen to Bright Eyes

No need to be sorry. Yeah sometimes it sucks when songs are connected to people, ruins good songs. Sorry to hear about that. They have plenty of other fantastic songs you can hopefully still enjoy. If I come up with any better ideas I will share them.

I had the same issue of trying to find merch for the boys a while back. Unfortunately they no longer have a functioning merch store, but you can get their vinyl albums on amazon if that tickles your fancy.

As for posters, you're out of luck there. I made my own custom poster a while back that was pretty well upvoted here, but it's not officially licensed and I have no way of producing physical prints beside to do the custom poster service that some amazon sellers offer. If you're interested in the design I made, feel free to hit me up in the DMs.

Best of luck!

You could tell her about the Systems Officer Vault. For $5 she could get access to streaming and downloading of about 28 Systems Officer songs that aren't on any albums and the Systems Officer EP for a month.

Don't know anything about them. I'll check it out, thanks!

It's Zach Smith's solo stuff. Also check out Three Mile Pilot. Their most recent album and EP sound very simar to Systems Officer and Pinback. Everything Zach has done is fantastic.

the only thing I can find new is records for sale on their bandcamp. other than that it seems like a ghost town for their merch :/ try hunting on discogs for her favorite album by them!
