Clap Your Hands Say Hype

Last night we saw Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at the Seaport. Many people came to check out the hype. Most people seemed happy. I saw them back in March. The built up hype since then is fairly incredible, considering that I don't think they're doing anything particularly innovative. The Talking Heads references annoy me, since I think the vocal deliveries are quite different and Talking Heads are much better. I guess they are the most popular blog band, or something. It is funny how people cheered for the songs that are free MP3s off their website as though they were hit singles.
