Fractionals

Today at the gym I listened to Six By Seven's The Way I Feel Today, and I think it really hit me for the first time that they're gone.

Man, am I going to miss them. You always feel a little propriatary about the bands you really love, even more so when it seems like no-one else does, but for whatever combination of reasons Six By Seven have been "my" band for years, more than any other (even the Delgados). I own all of their albums (including the Peveril Hotel odds and sods collection) except for the new one, which I will be ordering and soon as possible, and maybe some of their official bootlegs.

I could go on for a while, trying to encourage you to check them out, but what's the point, really? You should check them out, and I'd be more than willing to assist anyone in doing so (you can buy all of their albums from their website, so if you do wind up liking them it's easy to get some money in their hands), and anything else I add would just be a re-emphasis of that point.

As it is, I have the sneaking suspicion I might go over their whole catalog tonight when I get home.
