FOBAT is here to bring you three rare and undiscovered FOB and FOB-adjacent songs. These three songs were all found on our archive hunts that take place in our Discord server. Below is an explanation of each:
Tiffany Blews Toyworks Remix- This remix comes from an archive of the FOB Toyworks website from 2009 (The comic book that FOB released around Folie’s release.) It played in the background of an interactive Flash site. Within the Metadata, a credit for “P.O.S” is written, which is likely Stefon Leron Alexander, a hip-hop MC that is credited for a lot of remixes on Discogs, but this is unconfirmed.
Project Rocket (?)- This song is NOT confirmed to be Project Rocket… This song is often spread around on pirating sites titled “Gone Yesterday” and credited as by Fall Out Boy, even though the vocalist is clearly not Patrick. However, some clever people on Reddit have put it together that it sounds an awful lot like Project Rocket vocalist T.J. Minich. However, this track is not featured on either Project Rocket’s album or split EP with FOB. So it is a mystery as to where it came from, or if it’s actually even a PR song at all.
Grand Theft Autumn Unmastered- This one is self explanatory- A version of GTA that has an unmastered/raw vocal intro. The rest of the song is unchanged from the release version. It is unknown where this version comes from, and it is commonly found on pirating sites.
so it looks like the few pro shot tourdust shows that were on jack edinger's vimeo are now unfortunately deleted/priv'd, along with all the other fob related vids that were on his profile - thankfully i was able to pull most? of them beforehand, so here are links to download them in full:

other videos
an addendum: i'm missing i think 2 videos that were up on his page, iirc they were titled something like "hold me tight or dont content" and "centuries content" - when i watched a little bit of the hmtod one it looked kinda like a lot of stock clips literally with watermarks and everything stitched together(?) like at a concepts stage.. ?? and unfortunately i didn't watch the centuries version.. but ig assumed it was similar? 😓
basically i considered them low priority to download at the time and now i'm kicking myself. lol. lmao even. so if anyone managed to get those pls feel free to sound off
fall out boy is going to be almost in my back yard on 2ourdust and I already flew to west palm beach to see them. am I going to see them again? for sure.
