      uhh, this lead guitar of becker in "west of hollywood" ... couple of great 
      songs ... especially "almost gothic" [nice booklet photo, too], "jack of 
      speed" & "what a shame about me" (sic!) ... to me this steely dan sound   
      simply breathes that dark american elegance i sometimes call 
      "pynchonesque" ... two against nature ... deliciously toxic ...

    kfl  //:: ps: the only work of sonic youth which, in parts, reached me was 
         "daydream nation" [1988]. the rest leaves me cold.
