Mah Music Story (death cab part)

I was nineish when i first heard plans in 2005. that started my basic musical philosophy meltdown. I was in the car with my aunt and dad one evening. My aunt has one of the most Kick ass music tastes of any one I know. She's burned Me tons of Cds over the years, most of which listen to alot. Any way, i went home and looked them up online (this was before youtube, which made it that much harder). i liked them, so i took my meager music budget to the local music shop (it's called hot poop. i'm not kidding.) and asked the guy there, (he never changes his appearance) about them. all he had was an ancient tape of You Can play these song With Chords (i live in washington, i can find tons of original tapes From most excelent bands if i want.) i thought about it for a sec, and then gave the guy 5 dollars, which barely dented my music fund. i took it home and started listening almost imeadiatly. oh, how i loved that tape, i wish i loved it more though , because i let my little cousin play with my walkman on a vacation in 2007. in his words, Thingy go poopoo. This practically broke my heart. yes, i had various other mixes of their songs, but it was my first that i had of theirs. any way, As i began to progress through middle school i began to notice things, (not those things,) about my thoughts about life, death, and various other aspects of things. I want to clear this up quick. I am not emo. i never intend to be emo, i never want to be emo, i'm to happy to be emo. my style is best described as lumberjack chic. but not grunge... anyway, I saw midway through middle school i cared more about things like the enviorment and world hunger alot more than the fitch bitches that went to school with me. i think i can attribute that to Death Cab's song, What sara Said from plans because it's a song about the fragility of life and how everyone eventually dies and you want to make a difference if you want to be remembered. I realized two weeks in that what shoes you wear do not make a difference in the long run. mabye for a couple days you might over hear something like "and did you see her shoes! She was wearing doc martins, with a dress. soooooo uncool." however, i've never let anything like this get to me.
That was a really long tangent. no wonder i was voted best tangent starter in g&t. well midway through listening to amputations i realized that there was an entire other side of music that i had only had glimpses of. the world was not just shitty disney artists that were being exploited for every last cent they could yeild before they gave way to drugs and paparazzi stalkers. and now some of my favorite bands include Posies, Green day, Plain White T's, The Calling, Mirade Fortress, and of course Death Cab For Cutie. that one moment in My dad's Crappy Focus (the fuel pump was disfunctional) shaped my Future mind set as well as my music tastes. I love them. they are that important to me.
