Personality – One Was A Spider, One Was A Bird
''Personality – One Was a Spider, One Was a Bird'' is the second album by Australian band The Sleepy Jackson, released in July 2006. The album was recorded at Big Jesus Burger Studios in Sydney, and was produced by Scott Horscroft and Luke Steele. Guests on the album include The Presets, Jim Moginie (Midnight Oil) and Davey Lane (You Am I), among others. In an interview for PerthMusic, drummer Malcolm Clark explains the album's title: "Well the ''Personality'' bit has to do with all the people that were involved in making this record and the different aspects that they brought along. The ''Spider/Bird'' bit has to do with some religious symbolism. It shows the two different sides – God/Devil, Good/Evil, and leaves it up to each person to make up their own mind. Some people might see the Spider as evil and the Bird as good, other people might see the complete opposite." At the J Award of 2006, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.

Luke Steele explaining "It was only after I’d worked on the songs for a while that I realized they were all to do with the conflicting sides of my personality. When they first come to me they seem to be about specific incidents to do with our last manager and things in the band going haywire. But after a while they go into another realm.
