Win Tickets To See Clap Your Hands Say Yeah On NYE!
Navigating NYC during the last hours of the year is always a nightmare, but this year we've got just the fix: Go see Clap Your Hands' 12/31 show at Hammerstein Ballroom! Stereogum's proud to co-present the show with Alec and the guys (and Bob Mould's opening!); the new stuff won't leave our heads, and CYHSY's evolving into a bona fide beast on stage. Plus, it's a warm place to be with good music, good tunes, and real people (not to get all Almost Famous on ya). And not only are we psyched that we now have New Year's plans, but we're inviting ten of you to join us! It's the stuff indie-rock dreams are made of.
So we have five pairs of tickets to giveaway, and we're gonna do it like always; to enter the contest, post a comment telling us (1) how you discovered the Clap (we blogged them before PFork, of course, but it's cool if that's where you found 'em) and (2) naming your favorite tune. We'll pick five winners at random on Wednesday 12/27 at 6PM EST, and the ten of you will have a solid story for the back-to-work NYE watercooler conversation. Here's to ringing in the Oh-Seven! Good luck.

Not to nitpick, but I think you should mention the Bob Mould Band is opening up.
I first discovered CYHSY when one of my friends made a mix with "Over and Over Again" on it. I was hooked after two spins, and it's still my favorite track
Score = 0
the name intrigued me.
favorite song: undoubtedly "the skin of my yellow country teeth" although i'm really digging "underwater (you and me)" as well...
Score = 0
a friend picked me up in her car, put on the clap your hands album and i thought it was the best/worst thing i had ever heard. that's why i love them. how can something be so awful and amazing at once?
favorite song: let the cool goddess rust.

i'm stuck in a holiday inn in denver, co, trying to get back to kansas city. lucky for me a blizzard suspended all air traffic, so you can find me at the hotel bar or in my room checking stereogum and digg every 10 seconds.
anyway, i think i first heard of clap your hands on pitchfork. i checked out their website, downloaded everything i could find and bought their cd. favorite song has to be yellow country teeth. that keyboard in the beginning is just too good.
Score = 0
I first heard of CYHSY through Stereogum. I had gotten the cd, and grown to really like it, but I didn't know I loved CYHSY until Coachella 06' when they played The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth. A euphoric feel swept across the audience for that song, as everyone sang along with what they thought Alec was singing. Like Maps is the genre defining love song, I think The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth is the genre defining leaving home song.
Score = 0
one of my co-workers played it in the office, then another co-worker complained about his voice.. unfortunately, i didn't speak up in support of the band.. i'm relatively new to the job, don't need to rock the boat just yet.. but soon.. soon.
bottled up to explode.

I'm pretty sure it was PFork's name checking review that got me intrigued. When I first heard Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood it reminded me of the first time I met my crazy drummer. He kept calling everyone young blood and it was funny. So I guess that's my favorite tune.
Score = 0
heard about them thru the magic of the internets. namely pitchfork. bought CD and tickets for their bowery show, much joy and happiness ensued.

i saw them open up for The National, Fall of 04 and bought the cd at the merch booth.
favorite song = 'Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood'.

How you can you read a line like this from Pitchfork and not run out and buy the CD?
A band that mashes together Talking Heads and Neutral Milk Hotel while also stopping in to visit the shimmering, wafting ambiance of Yo La Tengo, the harmonic trickery of Modest Mouse, and the chorused guitarwork of pre-Loveless My Bloody Valentine? What website do you think this is? We are fucking there.
And that's exactly what I did ordered the CD immediately from Insound. My favorite song was originally "Upon this Tidal Wave of Young Blood", then it was "In this Home on Ice", but now over a year later, its "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth".

My friend Greggles who lives in Melbourne sent me the album and said it was good stuff. Funny because I live in New York and probably should have known about this before my Australian friend did. And but so, I liked the album immediately, though felt that it was a bit on the talking heads rip off side of things for a while before the tunes really began to take hold of me. yellow country teeth is obvious, but also the best tune on that disc, i think.
Score = 0
My coworker popped it in one day right after the album came out. I was shocked at how interesting it was and how weird it was.

A friend burned me a copy of the CD but I can't remember if it was before or after they started appearing on the cover of Time Out NY every week.

i first heard cyhsy from a friend. i bought the cd and listened to it non-stop on a spring trip to nyc. every day we walked around the city i had cyhsy in my head or playing on my ipod. after that trip i couldn't listen to cyhsy without thinking of nyc. it was so great, the association. seriously, i listen to their cd and it makes me want to pack my bags and move to brooklyn or something. they've become the quintessential "nyc" music, in my mind. as it turns out, i am going to nyc for new years. its quite the coincidence, although when my friend pitched me the idea of going to new york for new year's, i DID have the new CYHSY songs playing and I thought it was some sort of divine intervention. thats my story.

p.s. my favorite song is let the cool goddess rust away. sorry about that.

Saw them play an early show at a friends studio 'round the corner from Pete's Candy Store.

Living in London last fall, it seemed the buzz was all about North American crossovers, like Wolf Parade and We are Scientists, but when my friend Marlow put on the slow-mo chain saw vibration that is the opening to "The Skin..." i found the beat that would carry me to class across clouded Islington. Seeing them at Coachella and Bonnaroo has been a pleasure. Too bad that while the Byrne comes through full force live, those pesky bent guitar notes are harder to come by.
Favorite song, hence, is the CD Maxi-single #1 TRL hit "The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth"
Score = 0
Saw the cover of the first album and it reminded me of Shel Silverstein. I listened to it and decided that if Shel Silverstein played music, it would sound like this.

As a puppeteer, its important that I remain aggressive in the constant search for new and unique artistic mediums. Avant-garde in nature, its hard to find just the perfect music to go alongside my puppet shows. When I first heard Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, I was visiting a new friend, a magician named Fenton. I was instantly drawn to them, they've become a wonderful source of inspiration. These tickets would kick ass... feeding my insatiable lust for CYHSY.

I discovered Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in 1997, when I had a bad acid trip and went way indie clairvoyant for about 6 minutes. I knew they were coming, and anticipated their first album. When it came out, I listened to it a lot while I made out with my girlfriend, and also while I was hanging out with my buddies. My favorite song is The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth, both because that's what I heard in '97 when I was tripping, and also because its a fucking rad song.

I was trying to pick some music for a really important, dramatic scene in my first indie film, so i was scowering the globe to find something that matched. "lost and found" by clap your hands, was, and is that song; it meshed perfectly, and gave the mood of the scene just that extra little something to make it my favorite that i've ever shot and worked with. I think the actual discovery was through i-pod roulette on a drive from california to new york, my friend had "lost and found" downloaded from the website, and after hearing it I had to have the album.

I discovered CYHSY on one of my many searches for new inspiring sounds in '05. Saw them linked with The National, and Dr. Dog (two other very brilliant bands) gave em a listen, and fell head over heals...full on, crimson n' clover, over and over, I fall everytime I hear them. Still have never seen them, and I've been aching for the Clap for a long while. (Ohh Ho Ho)
My favorite tune? It's between Heavy Metal, and Clap Your Hands!. Heavy Metal is a tune that perks you up, no matter how trivial things may be. Plus, you can't deny the urge to shimmy n shake when it strikes on.
Clap Your Hands!, well, Im a sucker for hand claps in any song. Hand claps, and organs, and those lyrics with infinite meanings, or obvious ones.
Ok, I've made up my mind, it's Clap Your Hands! That song is so stunning, and all round my taste.

So after I heard CYHSY I immediately went to iTunes and bought their entire library. Their sound is so unique I immediately fell in musical love! They have serenaded me through many days.

I found the greatness that is Clap Your Hands Say Yeah through an online community of which I also found Of Montreal, Architecture in Helsinki, and Animal Collective.

i discovered CYHSY from random pokings about the internet. NME.com especially had a link to some MP3s. they first came off like a cheery happy Radiohead with more disco bass and handclaps. NOT A BAD THING.

I discovered Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! through the wonderful Elise and her station Indie Pop Rocks!@Somafm while at work.
They had a unique sound that I had never heard before and Alec Ounsworth's voice is fanatastic. It was also the first album I bought off of Itunes.
My favorite song is "Is This Home on Ice"- so far off of the new stuff its been "Satan Said Dance" which they've played at both shows I've them here in Chicago.

I believe I heard about CYHSY on public radio... maybe it was a show about summer music festivals (?). The only band in recent memory that gave me wonderful chills upon listening! And of course the name is great; gives a nice happy vision. Never seen them live - hopefully a Buffalo date is in the future.
For my fave, I'd have to say "Details of the War" and "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth" (can't pick just one).

I don't remember the first time I heard CYHSY and I don't really care. I know you all are trying to win free tickets, but am I the only one that thinks this band is pretty crummy? I don't see anything interesting about taking the Talking Heads and sprinkling a little indie rock this-and-that on top. And the singer has one of the most irritating voices I've ever heard and I tend to like unusual, idiosyncratic singers. I saw a clip of the band on Conan courtesy of this blog, and it was so insanely bad, it actually pissed me off. Maybe they're better now, but this band is a product of hype and circumstance and does not make interesting music to back it all up.

My friend who lives in Brooklyn first told me about CYHSY after his friend saw them at Pianos. Once, when I was at my Brooklyn friend's house, he walked me over to the big "CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH" graffiti on the now-famous warehouse. Actually, we were in Virgin Megastore in Times Square a month later, and "This Home On Ice" started to play on the speaker system, which was inexplicable and awesome. We stayed for the whole song, if I remember correctly.
My personal favorite song by CHYSY by far is "The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth". The distorted melody and very fantastic drums intro is too much for me. When I first heard got the record, I must have listened to the intro for that song 30 times or so. I love those drums.

A year ago I had a friend buy my girlfriend(at the time) a Clap shirt at Langerado since we both couldn't make it to the festival. I figured it was another girl band considering that was what most of her music was. I hadn't heard CYHSY until shuffling through my current girlfriends Ipod and being intrigued this time around to actually hear the band. Needless to say my next cd purchace was CYHSY. It's found a permanent place in my car's cd visor.
My favorite song is Over and Over Again(Lost and Found). It reminds me of my youth listening to punk rock and the constant speak of rebellion that chattered away and faded with time... it makes me nostalgic for what we felt back then.

1st guy (Steve) they did mention Bob Mould is opening...
I heard about CYHSY from Bob Brasky. He picked me up in his ice cream truck covered in human skulls and had it playing on a record player he'd rigged up in the back. I tried to tell him John Lennon did it first, but he wouldn't hear it. He just kept yelling gibberish about the Plastic Ono Band being instrumental in the first moon landing.
Anyways, after about two liters of scotch, he showed me his inner ear and I'll be darned if there wasn't a whole colony of little people living in there. Seems they were building a new machine that washed your clothes for you! I've never heard of such a thing...
So I decided it'd be best to go home, and when I got home I downloaded the whole album from www.whitehouse.com and gosh, I sure do like that song "Satan Said Dance".

My first time with the 'clap' was on a mix cd a friend gave me. She keeps me hip with brooklyn music even though I live in brooklyn and she's in kentucky. My fav song is 'skin of my yellow country teeth' because it reminds me of all of those yellow country teeth I knew so well in kentucky.

I heard CYHSY for the first time on KEXP in the early summer of '05, they played "Let The Cool Goddess Melt Away", I immediately ran out to buy the album; this was my summer playlist. It's really hard for me to choose just one song, but if I really had to, I would say that "By The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth" is my favorite.

I actually found their first CD on a sidewalk in north philly. It was all scratched up and the only songs that would play were 'The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth' and 'Clap Your Hands!'. I fell in love with the sound and the next night they were playing on Conan O'Brien.
Favourite songs would be 'The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth' and 'Is This Love'.

I was sitting around watching Road Rules on MTV with no sound on because I was listening to Z100...New York's #1 hits station and my only source for music. As I was just about to turn everything off and go check out the new Johnny Knoxville movie, this song came on. It was Matchbox 20 so I couldn't turn it off. But then another song came on and it was the Clap Hand Yeahs. They totally rocked. That song Over Again, Over Again is so hot. Ever since then I've wanted to see them live with my friends Amber, Brittany, Troy, and "Animal" (he's the crazy one...teehee, LOL)

They were namechecked somewhere in a music forum I read, and I immediately thought "That is the stupidest band name I've ever heard, I wish these guys were my best friends." I listened, fell in love, realized they had played my town literally ONE WEEK BEFORE I heard of them, and wept without consolation for months. My favorite song is Over and Over Again because "You look like David Bowie/But you've nothing new to show me" describes too many skinny music snobs who need to eat something and enjoy fun music again.

Walking past the Opera house heading home one night there was yet again a lengthy lineup to get in. Not scattered with the usual riffraff I felt compelled to inquire as to who the act of the eve was. Cutting a short story shorter, not a day over the following months went without listening to CYHSY. Planned a road trip to see them in central park in NY, work botched that for me but I made it to The Osheaga fest in Montreal and what a great great time. Fave tune? All really. Cool Goddess? Lost and found? I'm sweaty and frazzled just thinking about it. I'm Diggin Satan said dance. Who's with me? Happy Holidays? Indeed. Good luck all!

Well, I was driving around and my brother, Lincoln, he says "Liv, do you like Clap Your Hands?" "I can't clap my fucking hands, I'm driving." "Clap Your Hands SAY YEAH. The band. God, you suck."
That's how I discovered Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
Do you guys even realize how long it took me to figure out what the fuck everyone was talking about in these comments?? "CYHSY" I thought they were all talking about a friggen news station.
I enjoy the tune Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood,
the ending is pretty epic. It also annoys the shit out of my 60 year old father. "What the fuck is this? God your generation doesn't know ANYTHING about music. When I come home from Vietnam, Janis Joplin was playing on the radio, MAN, that was some music....Jesus."

Let's get it out of the way: yes, first heard about them on Pitchfork. I did resist the hype for a while, but ineveitably succumbed and took to it rather smoothly.
I love how "In This Home on Ice" washes over you, I find it strangely comforting and a just plain gorgeous song. But, as a transplant to New York this autumn, clearly, I have to go with "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth." It always energizes and excites, and PERFECTLY reminds me why I wanted to come and drown in this big, scary, brimming-with-life city in the first place: "this boy could use a little sting"

Yellow Country Teeth was on rotaion of a fav local DJ and it quickly divided the 'rockers' from the 'whata I do with this?'. Each week he played it more and more people were converted. It was such amazing good fun to hear so loud on a crowded dance floor; it will always have a spot on my playlist. So of course I put that track on a mix CD I made for my friend Fern who currently listens to Clap Your Hands Say Yah daily and will be joining me in New Years when I win! Her favorite is track 12-Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood - and of course I agree;)

I was on iTunes and I found a celebrity playlist by Jim Halpert (some actors from the show had picked songs as their characters...) and "Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away" was on his list.

Firstly, I clap twice after every time I say the band’s name. I first heard about the band from a friend in summer 2005. He was a film student and also a bassist in a local band. I was producing his movie. He played me the eponymous album on a long trek in a van stocked chock-full with film equipment. I immediately thought I’d give them a go, based on name alone. It grew on me. At first blush I had trouble getting past the carnival-barker whine of Mr. Ounsworth. By the time I had bought the album and it became my soundtrack as I biked up and down Manhattan that fall, well, the rest is history. And may God bless Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
The one-two punch of “Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away” and “Over and Over Again (Lost and Found)” makes me nostalgic for the sandboxes and tilt-a-whirls and the things that go ping and the things that go pong in playgrounds of yore. I cannot bike up the hills of New York without the fun -- the la-la-la-pop smiles and winsome beams -- of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! But, my favorite, “In This Home on Ice,” mind you, always leaves a lump in my throat.

1. I learned about Clap Your Hands from browsing a few music forums in the summer of 05 (Specifically, Something Awful's NMD) and they were being heralded as the next big thing in the indie world. I'm not sure what I thought about that, but I checked them out and I liked what I heard.
2. My favorite song is Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away. I love Skin of My Yellow Country teeth as well, but Goddess just takes the cake because it's an amazing starter to a great album.

1. I heared Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! for the first time when I was going down the Mekong river on a boat on my way from Thailand to Laos. Just started my 10 month trip around the world. Met a girl from Australia and she made me listen to Skin of my yellow country teeth. Loved it and CYHSY followed me around the world..
2. Favorite song: Skin of my yellow country teeth.

I learned about the band in two different ways on the exact same day:
I downloaded three tracks from their Web site, and friend of mine said he knew Lee Sergent and I should check out the band.
Eerie, isn't it?
Oh, and my favorite track is: "In This Home on Ice"

I really hate to admit this, but I discovered Clap Your Hands Say Yeah through the vortex that is myspace. I clicked through the different friends of multiple bands I like before finding CYHSY and getting blown away. I like all of their songs, but always seem to end up on The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth.
So you should pick me for the following reasons:
1. I'm a big fan
2. I am good company in polite and impolite company alike.
3. I live in Florida and good bands (almost) ALWAYS skip Florida.
4. I desperately need a reason to make it to NYC
5. I am only going to post this once in the name of fairness and pray my little heart out that you pick me!
Thanks!

i first heard clap your hands say yeah on stereogum, and was absolutely blown away.

Towards the end of summer "04 I was putting off going out side to mow the grass, and instead was messing around with this the new invention called The Information Superhighway (look into it, pretty neat).
So I was at some music sites and ran across a site called stereogum and saw a link to a band's website, that band was a little rock group called Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Although before I went to their site I noticed how helpful and neatly organized stereogum's website was (shameless attempt to kiss ass).
I proceeded forward to CYHSY's website and played the songs you could from their site (at the time it was "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth" and "Over and Over Again (Lost and Found). I instantly thought both songs rocked and downloaded the ones I could, all 2.
At that point I was nice and happy and ready for my mowing extravaganza, and I must say is the best mowing experience I have ever had. Due largely to the fact I listened to only two songs from CYHSY the entire time as I was mowing and loved every second of it.
And to answer which was my favorite at the time is not an easy task, although since you did ask the question I will have to go with "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth". Again, not an easy call though at the time I would have to say that it was my favorite....of the two.
Soon after I purchased the entire album and have had some more pretty great mowing sessions. Although nothing will top the first time. Word.

I discovered Clap Your Hands while browsing a record store, and their album art popped out at me. I've always been an impulse buyer in terms of album art and this was no different. Clap Your Hands has been in my library ever since. My favorite song would definately have to be "The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth". Definately.

1) I saw CYHSY open for Ambulance Ltd at Northsix in April of 2005. Besides listening to the recordings on their website earlier that day, I entered the show tabula rasa. I ended up having a cigarette with Alec and talking about their cover of my favorite Dylan song and how cool it was that the song title was a math equation ("Love Minus Zero/No Limit").
2) "Details of the War"

A friend of mine gave me the records just before I came in the USA. We thought that rock was dead. You must know that I come to NYC to see clap your hands say yeah and I'll be very disappointed if I'm not picked up. My favorite song : Sunshine and clouds (and everything proud)

My dog just died in my arms shortly after my girl broke up with me because I'm unemployed and have severe Trichet's Syndrom (from my feet to my neck). I walked up to the top floor of my building to jump and like a mist that rolls in upon a cool Scottish loch, I heard Tidal Wave splash into my ears accompanied by a tall beautiful Polish girl named Ewa who took my virginity right then and there. Merry Festivus and New Year.
Favorite Song...............Tidal Wave
Score = 0
A couple of friends asked me if I would like to go see a CYHSY show and because I have never been let down by their great music taste I went, and it was awesome!!! Loved them ever since.
The skin of my yellow country teeth and i love love love clap your hands (intro song)!

I looove them because of my friend Todd, who has photographed them in concert before.
My favorite song is: Gimme Some Salt
Score = 0
I first heard them when my friend played the cd for me, telling me it reminded him of Bob Dylan. It didn't sound EXACTLY like Bob Dylan, but I thoght that was good because if it really had, then there's nothing gained really, is there? Anyway, I dug the cd for a while and then lost it and then stole it AGAIN from my college radio station and played it three times in a row while driving to Long Island to go to a funeral. That's when I said to myself, "Take notice, because these guys are the real deal." So my favorite song remains to be the wonderfully forgiving "In This Home On Ice", it's the best song on the cd.

CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH!!
Well im puttin in a bid for those tickets in NYC.
My friend Kye gave me a burned me a copy of the "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah" CD. And at first it didnt really click with me. But the more I listen to it the better it gets. "Sunshine and Clouds" is by far my favorite song on your CD mostly because of the opening of it. Ive never heard anything so sweet! The bells used in it are so freaking tasty.

Strangly, I found out about the band from two sources on the same day.
I originally downloaded three of the group's songs from their official Web site. The same day, an old friend told me he knew Lee Sergent and that I should check out the band.
Oh, and my favorite song happens to be "In This Home on Ice."
Cheers

I was goint to see The National perform at the Troubadour in LA a few years back, and CYHSY was one of the supporting acts. As it turned out, CYHSY ended up being the closing band that night. I was late as hell and lucky enough to be their for the entire CYHSY set. If they hadn't gone on after The National, I probably wouldn't be writing this comment (my weak attempt at making a fate reference).

i was out of town and on crutches, and when i came home, my roommate had "total stranger kid" and a bunch of other people over for "old man scotch club." everyone was wrecked, and starting to leave, but i made random wasted stranger kid some toast and we started talking about music. i told him i hate everything, everything sounds the same. and he told me i should give CYHSY a chance. i made him write it down. and he was right. i loved it.

i had been reading a lot of good things but hadn't heard any tracks yet when i received a surprise package in the mail from a friend including the album. first time, thought it was good stuff. second time, i was intrigued. third time, i was in love.

I first heard of Clap in health class freshman year of highschool... the thought of such intense burning that you would want to clap your yum-yums hard has been burned into my mind. Oh, it's a band? Yeah.. right... I heard them while I was falling in love with my main man Bebon in his car during a roadtrip! Aww!
