Mixtape: Songs That Give You The Clap
photo by ti-rouge
I made this mix for my dear friend Amy who has- as our friend Andrea put it- a clapping fetish, but it turned into something that I really enjoy listening to. As implied, the theme of this mix was clapping. When I started collecting them for the first time I really examined which tracks included actual clapping, synthesized clapping, a tight snare hit, or just a catchy beat and decided to include them all. Since not all the songs contain actual clapping, the mix was renamed from “The Clap” to “Songs That Give You The Clap” per Melanie‘s suggestion. (We are both incredibly mature.) All around, these songs have me snapping, tapping, and clapping along. I’ve found this type of music is helpful when driving distances because it keeps me alert (and gives my clapping muscles a work out). I usually have a very specific order to my mixtapes (serious business), but I’ve been spinning this one on random, so have at it. [Download it.]
