Episode Description
Here’s a vintage reissue that refuses to stay buried.
This throwback episode with Yvette Young started life as a Patreon bonus… until enough people yelled “this is too good to keep secret” and it hit the main feed, where it promptly became one of the most-listened-to episodes of the whole show.
So if you’re new around here, congrats: you just found a greatest hit.
If you’ve heard it before, it’s absolutely worth a re-listen. This one is a ride.
We barely talk about guitars, and that’s kind of the point.
Instead we get into:
-
sleep paralysis, shadowy hooded figures, red eyes, radio-static brain glitches, and why the stories are weirdly consistent
-
UFOs, alien nightmares, and a “star” that breaks the rules like it’s trying to avoid getting reported
-
DIY tour chaos, sketchy houses, cash hidden in books, and why “band horror” should be its own movie genre
-
discipline, deadlines, and Yvette’s surprisingly genius riff-to-song system
-
labels, contracts, and how to not get your creative soul pawned off in the fine print
-
the gear world’s gender weirdness, and why sound doesn’t have a gender
Content note: this episode touches on sleep paralysis, anxiety-ish brain stuff, and some heavier life experiences later on.
Also, if you’re hearing this during NAMM week, come say hi at the Stringjoy booth (6300). I’ll be there, in the meeting room, or inhaling food like a man who has made poor scheduling choices.
Enjoy. And maybe don’t listen to this one right before bed.
