Last night the Showbox may have been ripe with B.O., but it was not nearly as crowded as we were expecting for the first of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's two sold-out shows. Tuesday's event was all-ages, so there Seattlest was, on the floor, amongst the kids. The energetic crowd was a broad swath of CYHSY fans, but overall very unhipsterly---this is most certainly a good thing. There were still some belts over tunics and leggings present, but also some untucked button-down shirts, and at least two *shudder* backwards baseball caps (at least they weren't white).

Besides raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, these were a few of our favorite things, at least in terms of live music during the past year.

Another day, another great show (sigh). For the past two weeks, Seattlest has been seeing live music like crazy, and we've got four more shows on our radar until this current spate is through. Yesterday was the sold-out set at the Crocodile for current Pitchfork darlings Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. We deemed ourselves to be extremely lucky earlier this week when we picked up the *very last* ticket in town. However, the luck was spread around last night, as the Croc ended up selling a few more tickets at the door. Good thing, since about a dozen people (including our companion for the evening) were standing around outside the venue, hoping for a miracle. It just goes to show, kids: Perseverance pays off.
