Belle and Sebastian

Known primarily as a chamber pop group with precious lyrics and whimsical melodies, Belle and Sebastian show their brawnier side on the new album. The Life Pursuit is filled with songs inspired in part by the glam rock of T. Rex and David Bowie, the funk of Sly and the Family Stone and classic rock by the Kinks and Rolling Stones. This concert originally webcast live on NPR.org March 6, 2006.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

The Brooklyn-based group is known not only for its passionate, inspired music, but also for redefining the art of do-it-yourself record production and promotion. They released their self-titled debut CD on their own label (also called Clap Your Hands Say Yeah), distributed it to stores and radio stations and promoted it through their Web site entirely on their own. The subsequent online buzz and airplay shot Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to what counts as major stardom in indie music circles. This concert originally webcast live on NPR.org March 8, 2006.
