Robert Cone UT Alumnus bit.ly/dt_news By Sylvia Butanda Daily Texan Staff Hundreds of vendors, artists and events and thousands of people from Central Texas took over Sixth Street on Saturday and Sunday for the 30th year of Pecan Street Festival. The LEGO Experience Tour, the A&MÕs success in SEC remains uncertain By Trey Scott Daily Texan Columnist The Southeastern Conference officially added Texas A&M as its 13th member Sunday, a move that will become effective in July of 2012. ÒWe are excited to begin com¥petition in the nationÕs premier athletic conference,Ó A&M Pres¥ident R. Bowen Loftin said in a statement. The move has been imminent, though it did face a roadblock earlier in the month when Baylor and other Big 12 members threat¥ened legal action, withholding their right to sue. Now that the inkÕs dry, and Texas A&M was announced as an official member of the Southeastern Conference on Sunday. The Aggies will begin SEC play in the 2012¥2013 academic year. Tamir Kalifa Daily Texan file photo transformation of Trinity Street into Magic Street featuring Doc SeatonÕs Magic Sideshow and the Wahl ÒFace the Day TourÓ with free facial hair trims and tips were all new attrac¥tions featured at this yearÕs festival. Dozens of local food vendors gave festival goers a variety of food op¥tions to choose from and artisans one of the premier schools in the state Ñ academically and athlet¥ically Ñ is set to participate in all SEC sporting events for the 2012-2013 school year, thereÕs one last question: How long until the Aggies suf¥fer a case of buyerÕs remorse? They wanted the SEC Ñ thought it fit well with the culture of the school, thought the con¥ference would appreciate it more than the Big 12, in which Texas created the Longhorn Network and received the biggest spotlight of all. And itÕs the SEC theyÕll get. But time will tell if they can re¥ally handle the best conference in the nation. A&M should compete well in basketball Ñ hell, any confer¥displayed homemade crafts ranging from clothes to candles and house¥hold items. ÒIt brings all the different cultures of the city of Austin together,Ó said Marc Roppolo, owner of RoppoloÕs Pizzeria. ÒIt allows everyone to mix and really enjoy the city.Ó Roppolo said this yearÕs festival was ence without Kansas is an easy one. Baseball shouldnÕt be a prob¥lem either. Football might be: the Aggies, with the best team theyÕve had in more than a decade, blew a big halftime lead Saturday to Oklahoma State in a 30-29 loss. So now, theyÕre 0-1 in conference play. A visit to Texas Tech looms in two weeks. Then a home game against Baylor is a must-win Ñ as are late-season games at Oklaho¥ma and against Texas Ñ if A&M wants to win a conference title in its last year in the Big 12. If you had told somebody two years ago that the Aggies would make the move to the SEC, they most likely would have laughed. After all, they finished the 2009 SEC continues on PAGE 2 the most successful in seven years be¥cause it didnÕt conflict with Austin City Limits or a UT football game. Distinguished artist Amado M.

Hosted by the Texas Tribune, an online media platform covering top¥ics statewide, the festival addressed topics of race and immigration, health and human services, public and high¥er education as well as energy and the environment.

BLUEPRINT for the Future By Liz Farmer University and state officials are be¥ginning talks about establishing a UT medical school and teaching hospital in Austin. In UT System Chancellor Francisco CigarroaÕs Framework for Excellence Action Plan, he calls for strengthening the link between the Seton Healthcare Family, which currently hosts UT Aus¥tin medical programs, and UT South¥western Medical Center. Last week, state senator Kirk Wat¥son D-Austin, gave a speech about the need for a medical school in Austin for the benefit of Central Texas. Wat¥son created an organizing committee which includes Cigarroa, represen¥tatives of other UT entities and local hospitals to achieve the 10 goals he set out in his speech. ÒA medical school and teaching hospital will increase our capacity and let us redesign how we care for our neighbors who canÕt afford health in- MEDICINE continues on PAGE 2 drew his participation in the festi¥val last week after Regents Chairman Eugene Powell told Cranberg no one should speak for the System but the Chairman himself. ÒHigher education is the real rea¥son weÕre here,Ó Smith said. ÒBut in the last six months it seems like an in¥ternal food fight is going on between UT and the UT System.Ó Smith referred to a recent discus¥sion on the role of research at uni¥versities within the System, in addi¥tion to calls for increased efficiency on each campus.

Third- and fourth-year residencies are taught in Austin through a year and a half-old partnership between UT Southwestern and Seton. The role that UT Southwestern will play in es¥tablishing a medical school is not clear, but the president of UT Southwestern, Daniel K. Podolsky, said the medical center stands ready to support efforts at UT Austin. ÒWeÕre in the earlier stages of how to expand research in other dimensions at UT Austin,Ó Podolsky said. ÒAll of liger said. ÒIt seems like theyÕre try¥ing very hard in an environment where the majority of people donÕt care.Ó A tradition that remains today is the donation of booth rental profits to the city. Contributions from past fes¥tivals have gone towards the purchase of Christmas lights, art and books for local schools and municipal initiatives such as the I-35 Makeover Project, ac¥cording to the festivalÕs website. This year, festival goers were en¥couraged to donate money to the Bas¥trop Wildfire Relief Fund at a festival donation tent. CEO of two Seton hospitals, said Seton currently funds about 200 UT residencies and hopes to double that number over the next five years, but the program will need more out¥side funding as it expands. He said it costs between $800,000 to $100,000 a year to educate one resident. ÒOver the long term, though, itÕs an overall investment,Ó Hartman said.

Joshua Fattal and Shane Bau¥er, both 29, were freed last week un¥der a $1 million bail deal and arrived Wednesday in Oman, greeted by rel¥atives and fellow hiker Sarah Shourd, who was released last year. Their saga began in July 2009 with what they called a wrong turn into the wrong country. The three say they were hiking together in IraqÕs relatively peaceful Kurdish region along the Iran-Iraq border when Ira¥nian guards detained them. They al¥ways maintained their innocence, saying they might have accidentally wandered into Iran. The two men were convicted of spying last month. Shourd, to whom Bauer proposed marriage while they were imprisoned, was charged but freed before any trial. The men took turns reading state¥ments at a news conference Sunday in New York, surrounded by relatives and with Shourd at their side. They didnÕt take questions from reporters. Fattal said he wanted to make clear that while he and Bauer Òapplaud Ira¥nian authorities for finally making the right decision, they Òdo not deserve undue credit for ending what they had no right and no justification to start in the first place.Ó ÒFrom the very start, the only rea¥son we have been held hostage is be¥cause we are American,Ó he said, add¥ing that ÒIran has always tied our case to its political disputes with the U.S.Ó The two countries severed diplo¥matic ties three decades ago during the hostage crisis. Since then, both have tried to limit the otherÕs influ¥ence in the Middle East, and the United States and other Western na¥tions see Iran as the greatest nuclear threat in the region. The hikersÕ detention, Bau¥er said, was Ònever about crossing the unmarked border between Iran and Iraq. We were held because of our nationality.Ó He said they donÕt know whether they had crossed the border. ÒWe will probably never know.Ó The irony of it all, he said, Òis that Sarah, Josh and I oppose U.S. poli¥cies towards Iran which perpetuate this hostility.Ó The two also told of difficult pris¥on conditions, where they were held in near isolation. ÒMany times, too many times, we heard the screams of other pris¥oners being beaten and there was nothing we could do to help them,Ó said Fattal. Added Bauer: ÒHow can we for¥give the Iranian government when it continues to imprison so many oth¥er innocent people and prisoners of conscience?Ó They said their phone calls with family members amounted to a total of 15 minutes in two years, and they had to go on repeated hunger strikes to receive letters. Eventually, they were told Ñ falsely Ñ that their families had stopped writing them letters. ÒWe lived in a world of lies and false hope,Ó Fattal said. Fattal called their release a total surprise. On Wednesday, he said, they had just finished their brief daily open¥air exercise and expected, as on oth¥er days, to be blindfolded and led back to their 8- by 13-foot cell. Instead, the prison guards took them downstairs, fingerprinted them and gave them civilian clothes. They werenÕt told where they were going. The guards led them to another part of the prison, where they met a diplomatic envoy from Oman. His first words to them? ÒLetÕs go home.Ó Hours later, the gates of TehranÕs Evin prison opened and the Ameri¥cans were driven to the airport, then flown to Oman. The days following their sudden re¥lease, Fattal said, made for Òthe most incredible experience of our lives.Ó Shourd was with the families to greet the two on the tarmac at a roy¥al airfield near the airport in OmanÕs capital, Muscat. At about 20 minutes before midnight Wednesday, Fattal and Bauer, wearing jeans and casual shirts, bounded down the steps from the blue-and-white plane. The men appeared very thin and pale, but in good health.

ÒBecause of this active constructive process, what we store as memory is actually go¥ing beyond direct experience and may reflect things that never hap¥pen to us.Ó A topic of importance was the function of an area of the brain called the hippocampus, which is essential for the ability to form and recall specific memories.

By Allison Harris Daily Texan Staff Thirty-three museums and com¥munity organizations in Austin of¥fered free entrance and activities Sun¥day as part of the 14th annual Austin Museum Day. The Austin Museum Partnership started Museum Day to showcase the cityÕs cultural offerings, said co¥chair Stephanie Jarvis. Jarvis said this yearÕs event extended the use of trol¥ley cars from the Austin Tour Guide Association to get guests to the mu¥seums. She said more cultural organi¥zations that are not traditional muse¥ums, including the group Save Aus¥tinÕs Cemeteries, participated in the event as well. Jarvis said museums offer so many potential benefits to the public that it becomes difficult to describe their value to society. ÒThey educate us about the past, but they also, in my opinion, help the general public think about who we are as a society, where weÕve been, where weÕre going,Ó Jarvis said. The Blanton Museum of Art host¥ed activities including a football toss game, a collaborative installation made of candy wrappers, button mak¥ing and two drawing activities. Grad¥uate civil engineering student Ali Abu Yosef said he attended the Blanton for the first time Sunday despite going to UT for several years and being inter¥ested in contemporary art. ÒItÕs really encouraging to go see different museums,Ó Abu Yosef said. ÒYou can see thereÕs a lot of crowd around here, which I bet is a good thing for the museums.Ó Jennifer Garner, manager of school and family programs at the museum, said the activities were de¥signed to introduce the entire Aus¥tin community to the special exhibi¥tions on French drawings and con-temporary African artist El Anatsui, which opened Sunday. ÒItÕs really been a commitment of ours to be able to offer activities that are family-oriented,Ó Garner said. ÒWe know that thereÕs a lot of people com¥ing to the museum that may not have been to the Blanton before, so we want to make them feel welcome.Ó Garner said the BlantonÕs collec¥tions of Latin American art, Europe¥an paintings and international mod¥ern art and the special exhibitions help make the museum unique. ÒWeÕre offering a wide range of vi¥sual art experiences,Ó she said. ÒThat is not really something you can get anywhere else in Austin.Ó The Harry Ransom Center of¥fered three guided tours for Museum Day. The tours featured exhibits which opened this month on censorship in the United States between the world wars and another on the 1920s Green¥wich Village literary culture. Lisa Pulsi¥fer, associate curator for education and public engagement, said the centerÕs interdisciplinary materials distinguish it from other area museums. ÒThese are some of the main liter¥ary exhibitions being shown in Aus¥tin,Ó Pulsifer said. ÒA lot of the other museums participating are visual art or music or history museums.Ó TuftÕs University graduate Leah Gross, who took a tour of the Ran¥som Center, said she appreciated museums offering free entrance in a tough economy when many people are carefully budgeting. ÒYou tend to budget for what youÕre already used to doing,Ó Gross said.

The 7-3, 1-1 Longhorns beat the 6-5-1 Cyclones 2-1 on a hot day at Mike A. Myers stadium. Texas struggled early on to cre¥ate any opportunities in the first half. It was an excellent run af¥ter two give-and-goes by left¥back Amanda Lisberger in the 16th minute that jumpstarted the Longhorn offense. The Longhorns were close to scoring again a minute lat¥er when Iowa State keeper Mad¥die Jobe saved Hannah HigginsÕ shot. The first goal of the game was a beauty by Nina Fraus¥ing Pedersen. Off a 40-yard free kick, the midfielder from Den¥mark sent a teasing ball into the box that just missed a Long¥horn head but bounced over the keeper into the net. Texas continued to put pres¥sure on the Iowa State defense with 13 shots in the first half. Defensively, the Longhorns did not let the Cyclones create any opportunities and gave up zero shots in the first half. Starting off the second half, both teams looked tired Ñ both had played two matches in three days. Even though each team would use numerous substitutes, fatigue was still a factor.

When youÕre doing that, you keep a team in there.Ó The beginning of the second set was not what the Longhorns were hoping for, and they fell behind.

Knaack and Higgins, along with junior forward Vanessa Ibewuike, came out strong and combined for nine shots, four on goal, that con¥tributed to a team total of 17 shots. The forwards outplayed their Cy¥clone counterparts who had six team shots total. ÒAfter FridayÕs loss, we knew we had to come out strong, and I think it showed in the first 10 minutes or so,Ó Higgins said. ÒWe were just down there shooting, and we kept shooting.

UTSA comes back strong with big win Road Runners score early, hold Bacone College to just seven points in blowout win By Mario Carrillo Daily Texan Staff SAN ANTONIO Ñ After getting blown out against Southern Utah last week, UTSA was hoping some home cooking would get it back on track. In just their fourth game in school history, the Road Runners managed to get back to .500, crushing Bacone College 54-7 at the Alamodome on Saturday. While sophomore quarterback Eric Soza didnÕt put up great num¥bers, he did manage the game well and helped the Runners stop a two¥game losing streak. The Beeville na¥tive used his arm and his legs to lead UTSA, rushing and passing for a touchdown in the first half. He fin¥ished 9-for-20 for 157 yards and one touchdown, a 63-yard strike on 3rd and 18 to freshman wide receiv¥er Brandon Freeman, his second of the season. ÒI was going to play the field, but they spun the coverage and they left Brandon all alone, so I was just, ÔdonÕt overthrow him,Õ and he made a great catch and the line blocked phe¥nomenally and we were able to score on that,Ó Soza said. The UTSA offense sputtered for much of the first quarter. Two of its first three drives ended in punts while the other ended in a fumble by freshman running back Chris Johnson. Head coach Larry Coker had a feeling that the offense would struggle this week. ÒI think that the errors that were made during the week, such as alignment errors, may come back to haunt you on Saturdays with that idea that you will Ôplay like how you practice,ÕÓ Coker said. ÒEarly in the game we had a fullback go the wrong way, so we didnÕt make a first down and it is those things that you cannot do. Our talent won today, especially on offense.Ó In need of a spark, the Runners got it in the form of a turnover. Midway through the first quar¥ter, the score still tied at zero, Ba¥coneÕs Anthony Ezell botched a punt on his own 11-yard line that was re¥covered by UTSA at the seven. Soza wasted no time in making the War¥riors pay, rushing for a seven-yard touchdown on the next play. And just like that, UTSA was off to the races. The Runners went on to score 34 more first-half points, to lead the Warriors 41-0. While the offense looked crisp after a slow start, UT¥SAÕs defense was dominant from the beginning. During the first half, the Run¥ners created as many turnovers and sacked Bacone quarterback Mi¥chael Cook as many times as they allowed first downs: three. UTSAÕs rush defense continued their sol¥id play, allowing only 13 yards on eight carries. The highlight for the defense came five minutes into the second quar¥ter when sophomore linebacker Ste¥ven Kurfehs intercepted CookÕs pass and ran it back 45 yards for a touch¥down, the first defensive score in school history. The touchdown gave the Runners a 28-0 lead and put the game away. Resting their starters in the sec¥ond half, the second-string play¥ers continued UTSAÕs domination. Back-up quarterback John Sim¥mons connected with freshman and San Marcos native Mike Wilburn on an 18-yard touchdown to add to the rout. The victory against the Warriors showed just how good UTSA could be, but the Runners, who will join the WAC next season, know that difficult challenges lay ahead. UTSA will take on Sam Houston State next week, only their second Division I opponent of the season. ÒThe thing I expect from Sam Houston State is the same that I ex¥pected from Southern Utah, which is better athletes,Ó Coker said. ÒThat is what we are going to play.Ó FURNISHED ROOM FOR RENT Luxury condo in Southwest Austin with furnished room for rent.

Economics senior Steven Braun¥stein said the High Holy Days pro¥vide a fresh start, an opportunity for personal reflection and chanc¥es to connect with the Jewish stu¥dent community. Braunstein grew up in Odessa in a conservative congregation Ñ one that falls between the very mod¥ern reform tradition and stricter orthodox. He said he remembers weeks where the synagogue didnÕt have the 10 people required for a minyan Ñ the quorum necessary to hold a service. ÒSo now, when I see that there might not be 10 men at the orthodox service, I like to step in even though itÕs not really my particular way of doing things,Ó Braunstein said. Komerofsky said the Hillel tries to make the holidays as meaningful as possible and provide diverse oppor¥tunities for students to explore their faith. This year, Yom Kippur falls on the day of the Texas-Oklahoma foot¥ball game, which means more ob¥servant Jews likely wonÕt attend, Ko¥merofsky said. Students who are able to travel to the Texas State Fair for the game are welcome at local syn¥agogues for services. They may find an interesting intersection of their Jewish, Longhorn and American identities, he added. the album is disappointingly unoriginal, it only has one or two real duds.

Throughout the presen¥tation, Zuckerberg could hardly con¥tain his enthusiasm for his siteÕs next evolutionary phase. Indeed, Zucker¥bergÕs speech could be characterized as zealous and for good reason Ñ if things all go according to Zucker¥bergÕs plan, Facebook will have super¥seded its omnipresence and become a sixth sense. The siteÕs new features, set to be¥come available to all users in the forthcoming weeks, will dramatically restructure the way in which people connect themselves (and to others) in the social network. Some are made not necessarily for the better and oth¥ers are bold projections of the kind of company Zuckerberg would like Fa¥cebook to become. This starts with the new Ticker, which collects all the behavior Face¥book deems unworthy of your News Feed (status updates with little re¥sponse, your interactions with peo¥ple who are not mutual friends of your friends) and places them in a live stream. ItÕs like Twitter but twice as fleeting. Part of this is Zuckerberg acknowledging that Facebook suffers from a surfeit of information, some of it more interesting than the rest. It also a partial acknowledge¥ment that Facebook can be annoy¥ing. It takes all the behind-the-scenes housekeeping involved in maintain¥ing a Facebook profile, such as tag¥ging yourself in photos and ÒlikingÓ items, and shoves them in a corner you can ignore or just turn off. Zuckerberg describes the Ticker as being designed for Òfrictionless shar¥ingÓ Ñ and combined with some of the features announced last week, this is absolutely true and not at all good. Thanks to partnerships with devel¥opers, such as Spotify and Hulu, Facebook can now turn more verbs into hyperlinks: Now instead of just ÒlikingÓ a song or a TV show, you can ÒlistenÓ and ÒwatchÓ them. Many of these features are auto¥matic Ñ unless you tell Spotify oth¥erwise, your friendsÕ feeds will be in- FACEBOOK continues on PAGE 8 UT Archery Club members shoot to relieve stress, win competitions By Lindsey Cherner Daily Texan Staff The pounding of the arrows as they strike the back wall covered in tar¥gets is continuous during every prac¥tice. Down the lines, shooters of all levels of experience nock their ar¥rows, draw their bows and then re¥lease them. Within seconds, the re¥laxed hobby creates a focused men¥tality among the archers. ÒYour bow arm is supposed to be completely straight, but your pull¥ing arm pulls the string back to your face at the exact same spot every time,Ó said Renae Patoskie, design ju¥nior and UT Archery Club president. ÒWhen you pull back far enough, you hear the arrow released by the clicker. ThatÕs when you know to let go.Ó Patoskie originally started coming to the teamÕs practices her freshman year with her roommate, but the hob¥by has since turned into a competitive club and a means to relieve stress. ÒItÕs more of an individual sport; you donÕt really do it for the camara¥derie,Ó Patoskie said. ÒItÕs those peo¥ple at the lines constantly shooting that are improving, not the ones sit¥ting in the back talking.Ó The UT Archery Club is predom¥inately recreational, but the students on the competition team are sup¥ported by the club. The students are trained by five coaches, although all of the students pitch in words of wisdom and critique to their peers. Head coach James Corral has been with the club since his freshman year in 1984 and says he hasnÕt left the Anna Hiss Gymnasium since. ÒI never really thought about what I do. It just developed over the years naturally,Ó Corral said. ÒDay one is to have fun and to not hurt themselves but also to see which ones are real¥ly into it.Ó The competitive archers compete in a minimum of seven tournaments nationally each year, in addition to the indoor and two outdoor tourna¥ments hosted in Austin. ÒI like to think that somebody is going to start here and end up at the Olympics,Ó Corral said. ÒThe great thing is you can come in here as an 18-year-old, learn to shoot, spend a couple thousand on equipment and keep playing into your 60s and 70s.Ó The club uses two different bows: the compound and the recursive. The compound is the more modern adaptation of the two and allows the arrows to be shot faster and the shooter to hold greater weight lon¥ger and with longer accuracy. ItÕs often the preferred choice for the more advanced archers. Regard¥less of the bow used, students tend to hold it in the hand opposite their dominant eye. They also buy all of the parts to build their own arrows so they can assemble them to match the shooterÕs physique. Corral noted that thereÕs a direct correlation between the length of the pull arm on the shooter and the length of the arrow needed to be competitive and accurate. His stu¥dents agree. ÒItÕs a sport that a lot of people can do. I donÕt want to say itÕs like chess, but itÕs a game in the same sense,Ó said Morgan Allford, architectural engineering sophomore and UT Ar¥chery Club treasurer . ÒItÕs all about the mentality, consistency and repe¥tition to get it down.Ó The club reserves the gymnasi¥um every day for the more com¥petitive shooters to come and go as they please and establish a consistent shooting pattern. ÒYou could practice until the day you die, and you might not be good at it,Ó Allford said. ÒYou go up to the line and shoot against older people, and theyÕll still be better because itÕs not about physical strength Ñ itÕs about body position.Ó The shooters have all said that itÕs important to clear the mind when they step up to the line to shoot each arrow. Having proper technique is emphasized just as much. ÒThe best way to shoot is to be com¥pletely relaxed,Ó Corral said. ÒI donÕt fire them up like a football coach. ItÕs hard to teach them to only shoot one arrow at a time and then forget about it. Each arrow has to stand alone: the good, the bad and the mediocre.Ó Once the shooters learn to have fluidity of motion, to be perpendic¥ular with their body to the target line at all times and have an open stance, they begin to develop an instinc¥tive shooting technique in which the point of release is consistent from shot to shot. ÒMost college kids just want to chuck some arrows; I just want to get them hooked so theyÕll stick around,Ó Corral said. ÒItÕs not a classroom setting for a reason, I just want them to relax and know when they come here, itÕs to shoot arrows at the targets.Ó Darrell K.

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, starts on Wednes¥day. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the following week. The two make up the High Holy Days, the most im¥portant days in the Jewish cal¥endar. ItÕs an opportunity to reflect on the past year and seek to be a better person for the coming one, Kutler said. ÒIn the year since I became re-ligious, IÕve been a better person than IÕve ever been, but I also need to hold myself to a higher stan¥dard, not stagnate and continue to grow,Ó Kutler said. ÒEvery Jew has that responsibility.Ó Kutler was raised in a conservative Jewish family in San Antonio. She said during her freshman year of college, she wanted to seek spiritual growth RELIGION continues on PAGE 8 Indie band still falls short in new album By Clayton Wickham Daily Texan Staff In 2005, Clap Your Hands Say YeahÕs self-titled debut won unqual¥ified praise for both its brave sound and independent, grassroots distri¥bution model, but the intervening years have pushed the group to the fringes of indie-rockÕs spotlight. An interesting second album that was weirder and less coher¥ent than the first and an extend¥ed hiatus have definitely not done wonders for the groupÕs name. De¥spite this, its new album Hyster¥ical, made with acclaimed indie producer John Congleton, has gar¥nered high expectations. It will be a relief to some and a letdown to others that, in Hysteri¥cal, front man and band leader Alec Ounsworth swings the helm 180 de¥grees opposite the trajectory of the bandÕs second album. Hysterical is a cleaner, more processed record than anyone could have expected from a band like CYHSY. After four years, the bandÕs jangly, cacophonous, ga¥rage-pop has returned a bit poppier and itÕs left the garage entirely. Judging from Hysterical, CYH-SY has spent the last four years tak¥ing pointers from mainstream indie groups such as Arcade Fire and The Shins. Not necessarily a bad thing, but OunsworthÕs distinctive vocals often clash with the over-produced instrumentals. Songs such as ÒMani¥ac,Ó ÒIn Your Alien ArmsÓ and ÒYes¥terday, NeverÓ are catchy and fun, but without the old, raw cacopho¥ny, the album sounds like an easy- Hysterical Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Genre: Indie Rock For those who like: Spoon, Band of Horses Grade: B listening revamp of their first. ItÕs as if all the bandÕs best idiosyncrasies were filtered out in production. The first track ÒSame Mis¥takeÓ is a great tune, but if not for OunsworthÕs unmistakable avian squawk, it could be any upbeat, in¥die rock groupÕs catchy hit. The sec¥ond track, the albumÕs namesake, has the chorus of a generic, passing radio hit, but fortunately thatÕs the low point. The situation improves with the slower and more melodic ÒMisspent Youth,Ó which has inter¥esting lyrics and emotional impact Ñ one of the upsides of the bandÕs new polished sound is that you can actually understand some of Oun¥sworthÕs lyrics. HYSTERICAL continues on PAGE 8
