Just a quickie.  We’ve got a new facebook page for you to ‘like’ and you can follow our rampant tweeting at @butterflypolite because social networking is apparently ‘the modern way’ (of wasting time).

If you are so inclined then both our twitter and this site generate RSS feeds you can use in your favourite reader.  If you don’t understand this sentence, then do not worry - it just means you may have friends and a social life instead.

Years ago I used to make band newsletters using a typewriter, scissors, glue and trips to a photocopy shop, or use my hand cranked Gestetner mimeograph, that I would post to people on a real mailing list.  Happy inky-fingered days.

Right, this is a bit complicated, but if I have understood this correctly then you can get our lovely messenger bag…

… for free, if you spend £40 or more at our merchandise shop.

Use the voucher code ADDONFREE at the checkout (valid until 30th July).

Conflicted.

We would like everyone observe a minute of silence as the music review website ‘garageband.com‘ disappears today.

ButterflyPolite had received some lovely (and scathing) reviews on that website, so we are saddened (and delighted) so see it go.

Fear not, our songs that formerly lived on the gb website, can be found here:

Just Tell Me To Stop  (Which had a gb rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars)
Laid In Grass  (Which, eerily, also had a gb rating 4.3 out of 5 stars)

As gb has gone, feel free to leave your heartfelt-congratulations/personal-attacks in the comments section of this post.

New Free Single!

…which will be available as a for-free-legal download shortly.

For now, you can enjoy it in all its silly playschool glory at

As mentioned previously, ButterflyPolite supplied this song as the prize to the My First Dictionary caption competition.  Congratulations to Richard Smith who wrote the (slightly sinister) ‘Anonymous’ definition which we then turned into a children’s song heard here.

As you well know, we are usually an utterly po-faced and serious affair with nary a flicker of humour on our collective stoney faces, so this was somewhat of a departure for us.  As we grow older this kind of light relief is needed in order to justify our claims that they are ‘laughter lines’ and not ‘wrinkles’

Further to Andy’s previous, slightly sick and twisted posting about a song what he had writ, and the project it was for…

Here is a place where you can win your very own copy on CD -

You might be interested to see/hear that Andy’s contribution to the very special ‘My First Sing-along Dictionary’ album is featured over at http://myfirstdictionary.blogspot.com/

For those who have not previously met it be warned, My First Dictionary dares you to chuckle at some very dark things.

A rather last minute notice, but Sarah, Andy and Doug will be playing and chatting live on BBC Radio Leicester tomorrow (Friday 14/05/10) afternoon just after 3pm.

Expect an unusually reserved chat/singing as the invitation has specified that we should ‘not swear’.  I hope that in return the BBC have acted upon the rider information concerning out particular M&M colours.  (Sarah = Greens only.  Doug = No Yellows.  Andy = Violets and Tans only).

I think one may have the option of ‘listening live’ or ‘listening again’ if you have missed it for a little via their website.

Life…

…don’t talk to me about life.

Hasn’t it been quiet ’round here?

Yes, but not ‘cos we’ve been silent.  Oh no.  But rather because we have been Internetless.  ’Webless’ equates to ‘Silent’ in the digital age.  In Myspace no-one can hear you scream.

This has been down to the utterly-mundane-and-completely-non-musical event of moving house.  Whilst it is absolutely exciting to Sarah and Andy, it is probably slightly less so for the casual ButterflyPolite listener.  Paint Rollers rather than Rock’n'Rollers.  Curtains Rails rather than Curtain Calls.  Telephone Line rather than Microphone Lead.

Now, slowly but surely they are rebuilding their lives in a new locale.  Rest assured that the studio is in the process of being rebuilt and normal service shall soon resume.
