My favorite band.

Why is this. I first heard them in 1993, my first boyfriend passed them on to me ((lost my virginity to sonic youth's first ablum on one side of the tape, meddle on the other side)) I had never heard anything like it. I only wish I had heard them sooner. My only memory of them in indianapolis was at a party at [[MikeMikuta]]'s house and he played Daydream Nation. But by then I had already gone to nyc and was just visiting. it is one of the few things that makes me remember AaronCantor fondly. Something he gave to me... opening a world up for me, to overstate it, just a bit.

I saw them live for the first time in Cincinatti Ohio, with Aaron. It was a great show, a small venue. I missed seeing their show in nyc once. I also saw a small acoustic gig of theirs in gent at the vooriuit. 
I love them because they have been original, never lost what they had. that and the [[SwirlingGuitaur]] + Kim and Lee's voices.
