That Fuath record is 🔥. Anyone know if there will be a North American distribution for the record? Those EU shipping costs to the US are brutal.

OK, I'm stopping this vid 1 min 2 sec in: LINDSAY!!PLEASE!! take care of yourself!! Take a break WHENEVER you need to!! NOTHING is more important than your HEALTH AND SANITY!! I can't BEAR to think that making these vid's for us was in the least bit contributory to burn out. Take a week, 2 weeks, a month off if you need to! I and all the rest of your fans will ALWAYS support u and be rootin for u to get better, and we will ALWAYS be here, waiting for you to come back whenever. You're such a shot of positive energy, and we appreciate you so much. Ok. Rant over.. Imma watch the rest of the vid now..
