Our neighbours' buddleia is hosting a giant butterfly party, and I have now been introduced to the delight of butterfly collective nouns - shimmer, kaleidoscope, flutter, rainbow, flight ...

There's no wrong choice in this group, but do give Alex, the kids, and their 'Snoop Dogg by way of Kris Kross' vibes a listen on YouTube < it's my '96 pick and a technicolour joy.

...anyway whilst we were at SFA my (15 yr old) son went to see The Invite; apparently it's good, but he's not sure we'll like it
No good pictures from Super Furry Animals, matching the general loose vibes. It was fun, they played all the tunes. Badly Drawn Boy was also very good [Two gigs in two days, I am very tired.]
