Well my friends in the craziest
of events I believe that the new site will actually be able to launch on
Monday. I spent all of yesterday combating problem after problem but
it is almost where I want it and after another day or two or work it will be
ready to launch for all of your browsing pleasure. Outside of the
blasted site I spent a large portion of yesterday wondering why I was never
really into the first Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah album. For some
reason, despite the fact that tons of people adore it, that album just
didn't do much for me and while I can't say that it ever really will I am
genuinely pumped about the band's next disc, Some Loud Thunder, which
drops on January 30. Who knows, maybe it took an entire day of staring
at my computer screen in disgust to wake me up to the greatness that is Clap
Your Hands And Say Yeah, enjoy the music.

Your Hands And Say Yeah - Love Song No 7:
Personally I think this song is spectacular, especially when it comes
down to talking about Alec Ounsworth's voice. Maybe at some
subconscious level he was the reason I wasn't into that first album but in
this song I find him to be amazing. On the other hand I think his
voice only works in the context of the song so if you let it distract you
then you will miss out on the vintage pop goodness that is at the core of
Love Song No. 7.
:Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah - Underwater (You And
Me):
I love how enjoyable this song is, Love Song No. 7 requires you to
work a little to love it but Underwater (You And Me) requires nothing
but ears. The vintage pop sound is still very prevalent in the song
but this time Alec is not even remotely distracting, in fact he is beyond
accessible. This song is impressive and it definitely has me curious
as to what the rest of the album will sound like.
