I have to agree with the letter I'm replying to, for the most part.

To tell you the truth, I've never heard anything by Death Cab for Cutie-- 
I'd go out and buy something right now, but I'm kinda starpped for funds as 
far as my CD collectin' days go. I have too many other CDs, I feel, I would 
like to get just because of where I'm at right now-- I used to LOVE Sonic 
Youth so much-- that's why I now have every major album release (except I 
still have yet to find a copy of "Sonic Death", or whichever early album it 
is that has "I Dreamed I Dream")... but I rarely listen to them anymore. As 
I have said before, I found the Flaming Lips, which in my mind have evolved 
much more than SY... despite the fact that you're gonna hear more about a 
NYC band rather than an OKC, OK band.

[further debate I don't wanna get into]

However, I've never seen SY, and I've tried-- trust me. But no one comes to 
Oklahoma anymore-- Modest Mouse came once to Tulsa for a 40-minute 
"Indie/ALternative" festival and then OKC before that with Red Stars Theory 
(when I was not really familiar with the Mouse)...

point being: I'd still go see SY, no matter how self-indulgent and 
extravagant I think they've gotten--
I saw the West 54th St. (?) performance that was on PBS and loved every 
second... and I think they'd put on a beautiful show regardless... but if I 
were left to the Flaming Lips vs. Sonic Youth-- I'd see the Lips (cuz I'm in 
tune with Wayne's head) ... however, if it were the Mouse vs. the other 2, 
I'd go see Isaac just because I wouldn't know what to expect, since every 
show I've seen has been especially unique-- and Isaac's got some pedal 
action goin on upstairs that I just LOVE.

... and those drums!

heck fire,

Jacob-- the boy who never knew

gobs of people like sonic youth better if only because they haven't heard 
death
cab yet, even so I'm sure sonic youth would be favored by the majority 
because
they have so many fans. Me personaly i'm not sure who I like better, I do
listen to death cab a whole lot more than I do sonic youth so maybe I like 
them
better.
