in between sonic youth and pixies everything - indie music / the alternative expansion into the mainstream - happened.. the *complement* each other, and i don't think they have ever *competed* in any way..
i am a gemini, thet would mean i have two distinct personalities, and sometimes i feel pixies are a simple pop band (that's supposed to bad) and other times i feel sonic youth are a simple noise band (that's supposed to be bad too.)
it evens out in the long run..
i have been an active listener and a quiet fan of both groups for nearly 18 years now.. my favorite mixtapes have multiple songs from each band.. i have made homemade t-shirts for each band..
one distinction though, i got the chance to see sonic youth perform live, (yeah yeah.. i was the first in line.. et cetera) but pixies i've never experienced with such intensity..
