Pardon me but my Imposter Syndrome is showing
So I'm standing there at work today, talking to this dude about his Sleep hat. He asks if I’ve ever seen them live and I haven’t. He mentions that he thinks they're going to be touring soon, but probably won't hit our town.
I say "it'd be awesome if they came through and played with Yob", to which he replies "Oh, I'm in Yob."
It was fucking Mike Scheidt that I was talking to. As soon as he said it, I recognized him but I felt like such a dumbass.

Lyrics to Essence (Bonus Track)
Hi fellow YOB enthusiasts,
I was wondering if anyone has the lyrics to the track - Essence (Bonus Track) from the album The Unreal Never Lived.
As I am not a native English speaker, it's difficult to try to do it by hearing.
Thanks a bunch,
A fellow adrift in the ocean

Seeking this out. Appreciate it’s rare and expensive.
I believe Metal Blade owns rights.
Does anyone know if this could be repressed or due to legal matter that helped break them up hinder this?

Question about vinyl
Anyone else’s copy of clearing the path to ascend make a scratchy sound when it goes over the change in color spots? I’m new to vinyl. Thanks, yob is love

Anyone have an audio recording from Saturday night of Yob or Ninth Moon Black?
Decided last minute to record the show. It was so fucking loud the audio kept glitching out. Didn’t make arrangements to set up my audio recorder. So I have 4k anamorphic footage of the entire night, but the audio makes it almost unwatchable. If anyone has anything I might be able to salvage it.

How is Dave French compared to Travis Foster?
Haven't really listened to any live performance with French as a drummer, and I don't really know anything about the guy. Are the fans happy with him in the drums?
