How'd you like to be an indie rock band with a well reviewed new album, embarking on a national tour?  How'd you like to have a great opening act for that tour?  Well, when The National selected Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to open up for them, I don't think they had any idea it would get this out of control:

 

...the most interesting aspect of the show was the akwardness between songs when it was painfully silent. Silence in startling contrast to the rowdy whoops, shouting and applause that CYHSY received between tunes. You could even hear the sound of the mic being placed back into the mic stand; it was that dead between songs. Plus, people continued to file out throughout the show.
