Ein unveröffentlichtes Album der TELEVISION PERSONALITIES. Aufgenommen 1990 auf einem Vierspurgerät vom Bassisten Jowe über ein paar Sessions hinweg. Jowe Head erinnert sich: ,Nach nur ein paar Wochen hatten wir 15 Tracks aufgenommen, von denen einige neu aufgenommen und mit unterschiedlichen Arrangements auf ,Closer To God landeten. Unser Plan war es schon damals, diese Tracks irgendwann zu finalisieren und zu veröffentlichen - die Zeit ist nun gekommen." Von den bisher unveröffentlichten Songs basiert ,I Like That In A Girl" auf einer Unterhaltung die TELEVISION PERSONALITIES Mastermind Daniel Treacy mit Lawrence von der Band FELT aus Birmingham hatte, womit sich der besondere Akzent am Ende des Songs erklärt. ,Love Is A Four-Letter Word" war einer der Songs, die die Band regelmäßig live spielte und der sich irgendwann zu ,Love Is Better Than War" entwickeln sollte. Auf ,I Suppose You Think It's Funny" zeigen Jowe und Daniel ihren Falsett-Gesang, während die Basis für ,If You Fly Too High" eine Begegnung mit Evan Dando von den LEMONHEADS war. Die Band jammte auf der Bühne mit Evan und spielte ein paar Songs von Jonathan Richman und Johnny Thunders. Im Song wird auch Alan McGee namentlich erwähnt, der ein großer Fan der TVPs war. McGee gibt nicht nur offen zu, dass er Daniels Musikstil kopiert hat, sondern auch, dass das subkulturelle Schaffen von Dan Treacy seine Entscheidung bestärkte, mit ,The Living Room" einen Mod/Psych Club zu eröffnen und mit Creation Records ein Label zu gründen, auf dem schließlich Bands wie THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, PRIMAL SCREAM, RIDE, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, TEENAGE FANCLUB oder OASIS veröffentlichen sollten.[ENG] Television Personalities unreleased album. Recorded in 1990 by bass player Jowe over a number sessions on a portable 4-track cassette-tape machine. "Over the course of a few weeks, we had amassed fifteen tracks, some of which ended up being re-recorded with very different arrangements on 'Closer to God'. The intention was to finish and release these tracks at some point, and that time has finally arrived" - Jowe Head. Of the previously unheard songs, "I Like That in a Girl" was based on a conversation Daniel Treacy had with Lawrence of the Birmingham band Felt, hence the peculiar accent that Dan uses towards the end! "Love is a Four-Letter Word" was a song the band would play regularly live; it eventually evolved into "Love is Better Than War". "I Suppose You Think It's Funny" displays Jowe and Daniels double-falsetto skills. "If You Fly Too High" was based on an encounter with Evan Dando of The Lemonheads. The band jammed with Evan on stage that night, playing some tunes by Jonathan Richman and Johnny Thunders. The song also mentions Alan McGee, who was a great fan of the TVPS. Alan openly admits that he emulated Dan's style of music, and influenced his decision to run a mod-psychedelic club, The Living Room, and to start his label, Creation Records, on which The Jesus And Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub and Oasis released hit records.

Top of the line, best pillows Ive ever had
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillows are top of the line! I bought them in 2024 and they are still fluffy. When they lose a little fluff, you just punch em around a little bit and voila, like new again. They have kept their shape cery well and do great for cooling. I haven't had to add more filling yet either. I just laid my head on one and thought, I need to do a review cause everytime i lay on these pillows its like clouds. My head is heavy and this is relief :-D

Weird smell
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
The pillows are great for someone looking for something cool and comfortable. We loved them so much that we bought a second pair. However, we were seriously disappointed with the odor of our last purchase. They give off a strong and indescribable chemical/burning plastic smell so nauseating that it’s difficult to sleep with. We’re hoping this issue will resolve with a couple more washes of the pillow cases, but am worried the source is the stuffing itself.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

So nice I bought more!
Color: Gray, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: Gray, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
As soon as I pulled these pillowcases out of the package I had to buy more! They are soft to the touch and feel cool. At $14.99 for a set of two, these are a great deal! I immediately ordered two more sets. The pillow cases are made of a 90% Nylon 10% Spandex fabric. I typically only like 100% cotton, but these do a great job of staying cool. They do get a little warm after laying on the pillow for a while, but I'm a restless sleeper and move around a lot, so my pillow manages to stay cool. The pillowcases are washable in the washing machine. They can be dried on low in the dryer.
