Greg The BF writes in, "So I know you've heard a couple songs, but if you don't have the album, you are a fool. The clap your hands say yeah album is much more than the sum of its parts. Songs I disliked in mp3 form carry a weight on the album as a whole and it is a highly satisying album that will be enjoyed from beginning to end."

Ask the DJ to spin Pixies' "Theme From NARC."

It was only a matter of time before CYHSY appeared on Stereogum. Now the world is complete.

Seriosuly, this is turning out to be quite the "-show-not-be-missed.

The Fame is absolutely horrible. They sound like Rick Springfield, but worse. Lead singer is cute though.

I actually have reservations about CYHSY live, but I think the album is so damn good. I can't stop listening to it. But ignore my reservations and go support them so that someday I can have a second album to listen to when I finally tire of this one. And no matter what you think of them live, buy the goddamn album. You will listen to it non-stop. Even if you've heard the mp3's floating around and are only so-so on them. The album is so much better than that.

Man, that 'Theme From NARC' brings back some old video arcade memories. ("You're busted!")

Seek ye out Midway Arcade Treasures 2 on all platforms for a bit o' nostalgia.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah were on Stereogum a few months back when Scott posted a link to "Tidal Wave."

Clap Your hands were pretty good last night, but both Man In Gray and Ghostland Observatory delivered bolder, more interesting sets.

I bought the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah LP direct from their website, on the strength of 2 MP3's I found recently. The album arrived today (I am in Australia) and I absolutely love it.

Please support these artists and buy their album if you like the MP3's....

I'm glad pitchfork liked it as well. its really damn good. I hope Bowie listened to the album and didn't just judge them on their lackluster live show.
