The Voluntary Butler Scheme



Today was always going to require a small miracle.

Who thought I'd find it on MySpace before 10am?

The Voluntary Butler Scheme is a one-man-name kind of affair. But don't think you are going to be jipped out of a full auditory sensation. No, Rob Jones will not only hold your hand through the gorgeous sounds but he'll fill your mind with lyrics of dreaming and pining. Which, lets face it, is usually the basis for the most heartfelt lyrics that will instantly become your favourite song-that-expresses-everything-I-just-can't-quite-express-yet.

Think cute indie-pop, but lonelier.

And being totally astounding and giving there is a free mini EP. Follow the link below. It was written in a lunch break and recorded in an evening! Doesn't that just make you feel like you totally waste your time? Well, it does me. Probably because I do.

'Think cute indie-pop, but lonelier.'

That has to be the most perfectly created sentence, like, ever.

I am now his biggest fan.

Tom - you better be sorry!

~shakes fist~

Colin - He is fairly glorious. So perfectly formed sentences are what he deserves. Although, I think we may disagree on the perfected state of that sentence.

We can debate it over a beer sometime then. My central argument will be that it is the perfect sentence. So there. I'll provide references and everything...
