In honor of our wobbly economy, here is a Butterfly On a Wheel #SongSpotlight. Sigma S Star cover this Warren Zevon tune (Jeanette on lead) during the autumn of '08, dedicating it to Lehman Brothers and other flailing titans of finance as the economy craters.

Boomtown Rats - Like Clockwork 1978

@butterflyonawheel.bsky.social

The 28th of the month is a recurring motif in Butterfly on a Wheel and The Stardust of Failure, and October 28th in particular is a notable (bad) day in the characters' lives.

Today's #SongSpotlight is "Like Clockwork" by the Boomtown Rats. 1/2

Every @soafx fan knows what scene this is from. However, when you really look at the lyrics, it's also a great anthem of sorts. To be authentically yourself and standing firm in your beliefs regardless of outside pressures. #songspotlight
Remember to be kind, smile lots, and dance often!

Today is the birthday of David Stuart, the main character of Butterfly on a Wheel and the bass player for Sigma S Star. The #SongSpotlight for today is the track whose sound inspired his signature song, "Messenger" (on the album The Politics of Rapture).

Today in Butterfly on a Wheel lore: 9/2 is the birthday of Allie and Melanie Roberts, the (fraternal) twins who play bass and drums respectively for the Moondreamers. I consider "True Faith" by New Order to be one of Allie's theme songs. :)

It's the birthday of Molly DeSanti, the adorable antagonist of Butterfly on a Wheel, so in her honor let's have a #SongSpotlight: "She Bangs the Drums," Stone Roses

Euphoric guitar-pop. Swirling psychedelia. The Roses at their most catchy & accessible.

The Tragically Hip - Three Pistols

Butterfly on a Wheel #SongSpotlight: "Three Pistols" The Tragically Hip

A Hip cover kicks off Sigma S Star's second album; Jeanette takes a lead vocal on it, seizing a "fake Canadian" persona she never fully drops. It was the W administration, y'know?

Butterfly on a Wheel #SongSpotlight: "Slide Away" Oasis

Sigma's rivals the Moondreamers have a distinct Britpop influence, and they close out their early shows with a "shimmering cover" of one of Britpop's most hopeful and passionate glories.

Pink Floyd - Point Me At The Sky (Promo Video)

Butterfly on a Wheel #SongSpotlight: "Point Me at the Sky" Pink Floyd

The young Pink Floyd's final, flopped, attempt at scoring a standalone pop hit. Delightfully daft sci-fi with an acerbic edge. Sigma S Star cover this on their debut album.

Butterfly on a Wheel #SongSpotlight: "Burned," Buffalo Springfield

This early tune by Neil Young serves as Nicky's first lead vocal on Sigma S Star's debut album, Last Band in Space. It remains in rotation in live shows long after Sigma disavow the album.
