...conveniently located minutes south of downtown

So, it's entirely possible that I'm the last person on earth to hear of the NYC-based band 'Clap Your Hands Say Yeah' but I thought I'd write about them just in case. While looking around some music boards today I came across a posting in which the author compared hearing them for the first time to hearing 'The Shins' for the first time. Intrigued I checked out their website and gave their mp3s a listen. Their self-titled, self-released debut album released last month through Insound has already sold-out and is now in it's second printing. Being impatient (and broke) I decided to download it on Morpheus (now new and improved and fantastic). You should buy it. And if you haven't yet bought anything from Insound you can thank me for telling you about their site, because they are the all-time greatest internet music store ever. The have everything, including great pre-orders and cds from unsigned bands, and their shipping takes less time than driving to Zia. Seriously. Please buy all your music from them from now on.
