[Alex's Trip]

I actually read that a couple years ago and I do owe it a bit of credit. It helped get me here. I was trying to find more music that I liked (that, at the time, being smashing pumpkins, the strokes, the yeah yeah yeahs etc) and stumbled upon it. I read it for fun. I had previously heard the name 'Sonic Youth' several places prior to this and this got me closer to listening. It wasn't until someone posted Dirty Boots in a thread on another forum about how U2 ripped off a bunch of songs with Vertigo, that I ended up listening to them. I had finally said "enough, time to listen to them". Pretty uninteresting story there.
