"This video is not available in your country." A post about clapping and I'm denied the punchline. At least I suspect the YouTube video is some kind of punchline

I don't mean to be the lame-o square guy, but it seems like the "Clap" link could have some legal repercussions for the site. I didn't think we were supposed to link to "unlicensed" (or whatever) music downloads (even though I much prefer it to YT vids and don't see much of a difference).

Cool post, nonetheless. Sorry to be the wiener. If it's OK to link to mp3s, ignore the square and carry on ... not flagging cuz I'm not sure ...

Ya'll hear that 'nolia clap?

yes! That MP3 lists is most excellent! A Rock and Roll producers best kept secret that differentiates an inexperienced band's demo from a real hit: add some texture in the form of some good analog hand clapping! Did they put "I'm Looking Through You" on that list ? gotta go look again. awesome awesome totally rlly awesome thanks

The hand clap is my favorite form of auxiliary percussion. Now I feel like I can join a band.
