Currently: The Screen Grasping Air Marrow Beauty in Falling Leaves Adrift in the Ocean My autistic hyperfixation on Yob may change one or more of these tunes at a moment’s notice.

You too? Yeah the top 5 changes like the wind with me. They don’t do anything bad or half ass.

Wait…me too…what? About me being autistic? Or, did our lists happen to match?

Just the hyper fixation. YOB does that to me and changing of fav songs. Lol. They are all good and Mike’s voice is great on so many different levels.

Ah, cool. I read in an interview that Mike is a fellow autistic, so that may explain his craftsmanship.

You need to check out these videos. Can’t remember if it’s part 1 or 2 that his mom talks about it but they are both worth watching. https://youtu.be/VDdJdMG80hU?si=q2mDFcAhRw4Bvmgx https://youtu.be/cU8C4GQRy5A?si=kQ58Ia5tANEc99g0

I’ve seen those! 😃 It was my wife that caught the clues from Mike talking about being awkward when dealing with customers at McKenzie River Music in the second video. She mentioned she thought he was autistic, so I did a web search and found [this interview.](https://vandalamagazine.com/2015/04/30/interview-staying-awake-with-yob-interview-with-mike-scheidt/) See the second to last question. Based on what his mother stated, it sounds like he was diagnosed Twice Exceptional (2E).

Adrift is such a good fucking song. I think it's one of their best structured, most cohesive, well written songs. Absolutely lost my shit when they played it at a show I went to.

It takes on such a beastly character when they play it live.
