Watched some of this recently, bloody brilliant. Might have to give Butterflies another go, grew up watching that.

Will give that a watch tomorrow.
I used to really enjoy Butterflies, wonder if it will stand the test of time.

I thought so. Watching that made me wonder if I learnt about life watching Butterflies.

Had to write some code for data extracts at work to give Lord Sacks his correct title. The only person I ever did that for. Respect.
RIP.
Incredible career and a great Briton.

We’re grieving the loss of our brother Bones Hillman, who has passed away at his home in Milwaukee today after a cancer battle. He was the bassist with the beautiful voice, the band member with the wicked sense of humour, and our brilliant musical comrade. pic.twitter.com/qP5EJqZowL

Probaby one of the greatest Australian rock bands of all time, they had something to say. I grew up listening to them, lots of fond memories.

RIP Bones.

10,9.8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 is their best album by far. Have a listen.

It's good, no doubt. Even their early 'surfy' style albums are great.

But I can't go past Blue Sky Mining.
