personality

As I've made clear before I always find it fascinating what rises to the top of the most-viewed posts here, and this one which I hadn't thought about and in fact didn't recall at all, has been viewed quite a bit lately. I do not know why. It has no particular currency or importance. I wouldn't even bother going to look at it if I were you, basically TLDR long story short, it's me musing on Sleepy Jackson and The Reels, because I had come into possession of material by both groups. SJ were an extant group at the time, I think, sort of, at least, the Personality album was reasonably recent back then, I can't remember if they were playing shows or they just put out that record and then split up, I mean, they were virtually split up by that stage anyway. But seeing that post I did remember that that album was getting a lot of listens from me for a time, and I hadn't listened to it for at least ten years - surely more. So I listened to it today. Hey, it's not bad. I would love to be able to turn this into something more interesting than that, but I can't really. How about, 'hey, it's not bad but I can see why it's not necessarily regarded as a classic, but it sounds great, and very "up", and fun, and I might even listen to it again in the future.' Nah, that's not really all that interesting either is it. OK I'll just shut up.
