Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's Alec Ounsworth Talks Upcoming Projects
Includes an album with members of the Walkmen, Dr. Dog, and Man Man.
By Ryan Dombal on July 23, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. EDT
Back in January, we reported that Clap Your Hands Say Yeah were taking a break from touring and recording, and lead singer Alec Ounsworth was "testing out solo material with new collaborators." It was all a tad vague and mysterious. Did this mean the end for CYHSY? And what of these "new collaborators"? Half a year later, the answers are finally starting to roll in.
Ounsworth has not one but two new solo-esque endeavors on the way. As previously reported, there's Mo Beauty, a solo album recorded with New Orleans funk and jazz vets-- including George Porter, Jr. of the Meters, Stanton Moore of Galactic, and Robert Walter of Greyboy Allstars-- out October 20 via Anti-. There's also a self-released record due this summer credited to the moniker Flashy Python. The latter includes contributions from members of the Walkmen, Dr. Dog, and Man Man. "I'm confused as to which project I'm addressing at whatever particular time," admitted the singer-songwriter in a recent chat, in which he gave us details about his upcoming records and talked about the future of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
Pitchfork: I'll admit, I was a little surprised to read the press release for your Mo Beauty. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting.
Alec Ounsworth: [laughs] Why?
Pitchfork: I didn't expect the bassist from the Meters to be involved.
AO: Well, the way it came about is [producer] Steve [Berlin] asked me if I wanted to do a record with him and then gathered the group. I knew George [Porter Jr.] from his work with the Meters. I heard [drummer] Stan [Moore] play with a jazz combo when I was in New Orleans and was like, "This guy really hits hard." I didn't know who he was. These guys have been involved in so many diverse projects that if I approach them with a straightforward rock'n'roll song or something a little more esoteric, they'll figure it out-- not to reduce them to session players, per se. The designation "solo album" is about as confusing to me as it might be to anybody else.
Pitchfork: Usually, when someone in a band comes out with an album that uses their own name it means the record is somehow more personal.
AO: That's precisely the confusion with this record. I actually have another project right now called Flashy Python that's more about me trying to erect some grand statement [laughs]. Not to say the Alec Ounsworth record or Clap Your Hands aren't personal statements. But the Alec Ounsworth record was me going down to New Orleans for a short period of time and trying to piece something together based on a collection of mostly old songs. I figured this would be a good opportunity to purge myself of those songs in a very precise and particular setting.
Pitchfork: Considering the people involved with Mo Beauty, is it more jazz or funk-based?
AO: Not exactly-- I didn't precisely try to fit it to their sensibilities. On the other hand, I brought them one demo that I made with some friends in Pennsylvania and they were like, "We don't know what to do with this other than replicate it." So I basically said that I wasn't in New Orleans to do something I could do in Pennsylvania [laughs]. And the song turned into something more specific to the setting; it's called "That Is Not My Home".
We did this project in New Orleans because I've romanticized that city's aesthetic since I visited there when I was 12. The music seems to just flow out of people naturally-- I remember strolling around watching these impressive street musicians. And my parents and I went on a New Orleans history of jazz tour [laughs].
Pitchfork: Ok, let's talk about your other project, Flashy Python. Who's involved with that one?
AO: Basically, it's just my friends-- a lot of them happen to be in bands. Matt Barrick from the Walkmen plays drums on it. Toby [Leaman] and Scott [McMicken] from Dr. Dog and Billy Dufala from Man Man play on a couple songs. My wife plays the trumpet on part of it [laughs]. I play a bit of everything-- guitars, piano, organ, bass-- throughout.
Philadelphia has a pretty significant community of musicians, so it was just a matter of ambushing them with songs they were totally unfamiliar with. The songs are a little more complicated than what I've done in the past-- they're much more methodical than the stuff on the solo record.
Pitchfork: Why create a whole new project instead of just using these songs to making another Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album?
AO: I just wanted to stretch a bit. I don't like to ring myself in with a particular group of people-- the next Flashy Python record might not have the same people on it as this one. All of these designations don't make any difference to me. I've taken songs from Flashy Python and put them on the Alec Ounsworth record; I've taken songs from Clap Your Hands and put them onto Flashy Python. Both Clap Your Hands records were made in the exact same way as these new ones-- for the first one, specifically, it just so happened that those guys were around and willing to play the songs that I was working on.
Pitchfork: When singers do a record apart from their band, people automatically think: "They must not be happy within the group."
AO: I don't really care to speak to that at length. The guys in Clap Your Hands are really gifted players. But if I want to do something with a particular group of people, I will. And if I don't, I won't. If people are willing to work on those terms, that's good. If not, I'll just have to figure out a different way.
Pitchfork: So Clap Your Hands is just taking a break right now?
AO: We practice from time to time, but nothing is locked in. It would be a lot of pressure on me to sustain a certain project and, honestly, it didn't leave much room for me to move around and stretch.
Pitchfork: You guys don't hate each other, then?
AO: No, no. That's silly. I approach the guys in Clap Your Hands the same way as any other project. I hope they wouldn't feel that I was poo-pooing their work based on that. I've considered taking a stab at another Clap Your Hands record but I have two records coming out soon and, honestly, I'm a little burnt out. To put out three rock'n'roll records in a six-month span-- it would be like I was trying to break a record or win a marathon [laughs].
Pitchfork: You'd be heading into Ryan Adams territory.
AO: Does he constantly release stuff?
Pitchfork: Yeah, he put three albums out in one year recently.
AO: Yeah-- I'm always working. I have two more records in my head right now that I'm planning on starting in my spare time. Maybe I'll do a Clap Your Hands record if nobody hates me for having them wait around forever.
Pitchfork: For Flashy Python, you mentioned that these songs may be more complicated than usual...
AO: The arrangements aren't drastically complicated. Lately, I've been heavy into Charles Mingus and I can't say that my arrangements are all that complicated after being deeply humbled by somebody like that. The way [drummer] Matt Barrick plays had an influence on how the songs started to shape up. His style reminded me of Jack DeJohnette's on Miles Davis's Bitches Brew. The album has a ghostly theme to it, like Picasso's blue period. Still, it's a rock'n'roll record-- some people were surprised it was so rocking.
Pitchfork: The name Flashy Python sounds like a glam rock band.
AO: It was actually taken from my father. After graduating from the Navy Academy, he was stationed on one of the ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. He would listen to the call signs that would pass through the radio and one of the other ships stationed out there was the Flashy Python. He told me it reminded him of younger days.

DEFINITION of 'Pre-Arranged Trading'
The buying and selling of futures, options or commodities that occurs between brokers or dealers at an agreed upon price. The practice of pre-arranged trading is illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) because it can create an unfair market for other brokers, traders and investors.
For example, two commodity dealers may use pre-arranged trading to execute risk-free trades at set prices rather than at market prices, thereby limiting risk, gaining tax advantages and limiting the market for other participants.
BREAKING DOWN 'Pre-Arranged Trading'
Pre-arranged trades are trades where an offer to sell is coupled with an offer to buy back, or where an offer to buy back is coupled with an offer to sell, at the same price or some other pre-arranged price that benefits the dealers or brokers engaging in the pre-arranged trading. These types of trades are prohibited because they are not exposed to the market risks that other investors would endure. In order for trades to be at the risk of the market, the first transaction (such as a buy order) must be made with no guarantee or assurance of the price of the second transaction (for example, the sell order). NYSE Rule 78 specifies that "An offer to sell coupled with an offer to buy back at the same or at an advanced price, or the reverse, is a pre-arranged trade and is prohibited. This rule applies both to transactions in the unit of trading and in lesser and greater amounts."

Vice President Joe Biden, who was visiting Israel at the time of the announcement, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have blasted the plan, straining relations with America's strongest ally in the Middle East.
"What started off as an internal, domestic disagreement within the Israeli government has turned into an unnecessary international dispute complicated by some undiplomatic language from U.S. administration officials," Meek said today.
"Opponents of peace, nations and terrorist organizations that wish to do harm to Israel will always seize an opportunity to create a wedge between our nation and Israel. They seek comfort watching these recent events unfold. To give our enemies the false impression that the United States and Israel disagree on fundamental issues within the region sets the peace process back. I urge restraint and a resumption of talks that result in a lasting peace that ensures Israel's security," said Meek.

Samsung 840 EVO 750GB SSD Review - Benchmarks - PCMark Vantage Hard Disk Tests
PCMark Vantage - Hard Disk Tests
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.0.0
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/pcmarkvantage
PCMark Vantage is the first objective hardware performance benchmark for PCs running 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista. PCMark Vantage is perfectly suited for benchmarking any type of Microsoft Windows Vista PC from multimedia home entertainment systems and laptops to dedicated workstations and high-end gaming rigs. Regardless of whether the benchmarker is an artist or an IT Professional, PCMark Vantage shows the user where their system soars or falls flat, and how to get the most performance possible out of their hardware. PCMark Vantage is easy enough for even the most casual enthusiast to use yet supports in-depth, professional industry grade testing.
FutureMark has developed a good set of hard disk tests for their PCMark Vantage Suite. Windows users can count on Vantage to show them how a drive will perform in normal day to day usage scenarios. For most users these are the tests that matter since many of the old hat ways to measure performance have become ineffective to measure true Windows performance.
The nature of cache is that sometimes you get a performance increase and sometimes you don't. With the 840 EVO, you get some nice jumps, but cache misses don't seem to hurt performance.

EFMRBOH: Sheogorath vs JokerEpic fan made rap battles of history!EFMRBOH: Sheogorath vs Joker4 years ago in Comedy More Like This
The Joker!
Prince Sheogorath!
Who is this who dares to enter my kingdom of crime?
Some tired old jester trying desperately to rhyme
I'm the Joker, you hear? You'd best remember the name
Not even a so called god can best me at my game
Look at you; you're really cramping my style trying to rock the purple
Simply by existing you're creating a fashion hurdle
Wow will you look at that? It's time I kicked your wrinkled ass
With a good old dose of Joker's laughing gas
You'll be beaten down, tore apart and tossed away with style!
But don't worry; at least you'll lose with a smile
You call yourself mad? I invented insanity!
Now bring the anger, the rage and all the profanity
A mere clown against a mad god, how could you even attack?
Your measly little pistol has got nothing on my Wabbajack!
I'll puncture the Penguin and scare off the Scarecrow
Defang Killer Croc and shatter Freeze with a low blow
Is it Joker or Jokette? I reall
Joel is Having a Bad Day(And He Really Needs A Smoke)Joel is Having a Bad Day5 years ago in Drama More Like This
JOEL, male, mid-twenties
BILLY, female, late teens to early twenties
Lights up on JOEL and BILLY, who are sitting outside on the back porch. The three or four chairs are mismatched and seem to have been salvaged from the reject pile of a Salvation Army store. A wooden coffee table hails from an indiscernible decade and holds a glass ashtray with dozens of cigarette butts sticking out of it. JOEL is smoking, trying to ignore BILLY.BILLY
You know, you really shouldn't; I heard somewhere that those things can make your teeth turn to mush and your fingers grow all bendy and twisted. One of my "friends"she used to smoke a lot, too, and now her voice is so raspy and gritty we call her "Louie." As in Armstrong. The "Beautiful World" guy? Hello, earth to Joel. Come in, Joel. Your lungs are
Shove off!
Excuse me?
I said, shove off.
The Beckett ColcannonCIAN, bowler hat, medium gray trench coat, old-fashioned sunglasses, a cane.The Beckett Colcannon5 years ago in Comedy More Like This
BEAG, bowler hat, light grey trench coat.
SET: Front center, a rectangular table, around 8 feet long. To its right, as seen by the audience, an oven/stove. On the stove, a pot with steam coming from it, and on the floor to its right, a small garbage bin. To the table's left, a simple armless chair, facing the audience. On the table, one pound of ham, in one piece. The set is lit in medium light, and the remainder of the stage is left in darkness.
Curtains rise. CIAN sits at the chair. He stares directly forward. Five seconds.
CIAN: Ready, yes, they must be ready.
CIAN knocks his cane twice on the floor. BEAG enters from the right immediately, looks into the pot. He makes to leave.
CIAN: Are they ready?
BEAG stops and faces CIAN.
BEAG: Almost.
CIAN: Good. How long have they been steaming for?
BEAG: Almost long enough.
CIAN: Good. (Pause.) And the ham?
BEAG: Sitting on the table.

B: Ah, there you are. Stunning as ever, I see. {He sits down.} You -
A: Shut up.
A WAITER appears, seemingly out of thin air.
A: Black coffee, milk and two sugars.
B: Coke, thanks.
He nods, and vanishes.
A: So what took you so long to show?
B: School. Well, you know how it is; not all of us are completely adept at playing truant whenever we feel like it, you know.
A: It's a waste of fucking time. No-one bothers.
B: No-one you know. And so says the boy sitting sulky in a dark corner with a - frankly dazzling - shiner.
A does not respond, and avoids eye contact, scowling down at the gleaming tabletop. B gives up on waiting for an answer, and continues. Faux-coaxing and unashamedly curious.
B: Who was it this time? I didn't give you that one, I'm sure of it.
A: Oh, it wasn't you. May come as a little shock to you, but I do see other people, you know.
B: Can't think why. Luckily, I've never been the jealous type.
A: Yeah, you're far too ugly

Custom Jungle House by the Ocean!Costa RicaLimonPuerto Viejo
About this listing
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
The Space
Beautiful new house on a quaint rain forest road. Just a five min. walk to Cocles beach, supermarket, restaurants, bus stop, and shopping. Cocles is a tiny town between Puerto Viejo and Punta Uva. Both of those towns are just a 15 min. bike ride away.
The house has two bedrooms, an open concept kitchen and living room, and a large porch with dining table and lounge area . House is made from wood we cut from the property. The bathroom is tiled, with custom made mosaic tub. Detailed and unique accents throughout the house.
Monkeys, toucans, parrots, sloths, and other creatures often play in the yard. Butterflies love our front garden and are lovely to watch while sitting on the porch.
There is a driveway that fits one vehicle.
We have wireless internet. A cell phone is available with a security deposit.
The area is safe, but house includes a security box just in case.
House is fully equipped with new appliances, hot water in the shower, and fans in the bedrooms.
Waterfalls, beaches, zip lining, hiking trails, kayaking, and animal rescue centers (where you can play with monkeys and sloths) are all available within a 20 minute drive of the house. Some of these attractions are only a five minute walk away!
Also, please be aware that our listing is for a house, not a hotel. The house locks up completely, but we did design to be open-concept because we like to be integrated with the rain forest. Sometimes, ants come marching through, geckoes like to chatter away with you while you're cooking in the kitchen, and hummingbirds sometimes try to join you at the table on the porch. We've recently learned that some people are afraid of these things, so we just want to make sure that you are rain forest friendly before you book.
Interaction with Guests
We have a property manager who will help you get settled in and who is available if any issues arise.
Getting Around
There is a bus stop at the end of our road for the local buses, which come by several times a day. There are bike rental shops close by, and taxis from our house into Puerto Viejo only cost $6. You can also walk- there are some lovely trails that go along the beach.
Parking for one vehicle is available at the house.
Please make yourself feel at home in our house! We just ask that there is no smoking in the house.

Diarrhea before Caesarean
Started by Fat Amy , Dec 18 2012 11:41 PM

Posted 18 December 2012 - 11:41 PM
I'm not sure if it's something I've eaten or not, I usually have a strong stomach. But ive been feeling nauseas and about midday today I was driving & had to stop & find a toilet because I thought i was going to poo my pants. I've had a sore tummy all afternoon & every time I eat I then rush to the loo. Right now my stomach is gurgling & I feel like I want to be sick. Might be a bit of gastro.I'm booked in for a cs tomorrow & I'm a bit worried. Has anyone else had this? Do you think my doctor will be concerned? Will I still be able to have my baby tomorrow?
Posted 19 December 2012 - 07:08 PM
My premature labour with DD was bad gastro with bad back ache. Went to the hospital and hooked up to monitors showed it was contractions and labour.
I was booked in for a c/s so that went ahead. I dashed off the trolley just before going in, but didn't want to think about what would happen after the spinal went in and I could no longer clench.
I will admit to noticing big brown stain on stuff removed from under me as they wheeled me to recovery, but no one mentioned a thing.
Funnily enough after bubs was out no more gastro.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 09:35 PM
with my third i had gastro for 2 days before i went into labour, the pains i had were not at the front of my belly but around it, to the sides, where my intestines would have been pushed out to?? I was sure that it wasn't labour yet. I was booked in for cs at the end of the week, ob didn't seem to be concerned nor did he seem too surprised when we met at the hospital again me in early labour. went ahead with the cs no problem. IsolaBella I will also admit to seeing brown stain on operating table and felt embarrased, then later realised there was no smell, so it must have been all the brown antiseptic that they splosh all over your belly before operation. Milmo I hope it won't be an issue for you and bubs will be born as planned, goodluck.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 09:40 PM
It could just be your body prepping for birth? I've heard it's quite common to get diarrhea in the week prior. I had 2 c sections and with my last, the lady next to me (also waiting to go in for a planned csection) had diarrhea, they had no issue at the hospital. Turns out it was prelabour, as she started getting contractions and her waters broke on the trolley going into theatre.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 08:50 AM
I also had diahorrea in the days before going into labour with my second. I read somewhere than your bowel clears as a preparation for labour. That's why most labouring woman aren't given routine enemas anymore
Posted 20 December 2012 - 08:59 AM
Diarrhea was the start of labour for me so it could just be that.
