We've all wanted to be in a band, right? It's kind of a universal thing. You start to get into music a bit, you find a few things you like a lot, and you wonder whether you could ever do it yourself. But then you start to worry, cos all the people you see on the TV have got expensive instruments, and talent, and stuff, and all you've got is a stick and a mug.
But, if you listen to one of the songs in this week's Cut playlist - namely 'No Fun' by the Stooges - you will soon see that you have one of the most effective and brilliant musical instruments known to human ears, stuck on the end of your arms.
That's right, I'm talking about your hands. And what they can be used for is clapping. Handclaps are guaranteed to turn a reasonable song into a sonic delight, because they grab at the attention with their meaty slap. In short, handclaps are cool.
Listen to that clapping on 'No Fun' for a second. 'No Fun' gets credit for inventing punk rock, what with all the loud guitars and the sneering from Iggy Pop and stuff, but what's the loudest noise in the whole song? That's right, the clapping. It is loud and it is slightly sarcastic. And if you can make the simple handclap sound like you're half taking the mickey, half destroying civilisation as we know it, you KNOW you're punk rock.
So next time you're entertaining the idea of becoming a rock star, why not give yourself a round of applause? It could be the first step towards something amazing.
