[myself, aka me]

After fixing my amp (you might remember it, a contraption made out of centimetre thick iron. Great grounding..) I plugged in my ipod and started listening to Stan Getz live in Paris.

A strange thing happened. I found myself clapping with the audience after the first song finished. Tired? Crazy? Maybe I had the volume too high. I understand toe tapping, but hand clapping is new, and it was done entirely unconsciously. Must be the good music coming through!

Must be a fantastic music coming through! Done that before, but only clap with the music not with the audience when the song finishes though.... Fascinating indeed!

Sounds like satisfaction to me. Just don't find yourself doing it in public...

 

[Jahn]

it's not funny- plenty of folks bang their heads to rock, or conduct to classical - why not clap, or say Whoohoo, or Bravo? it's cool.

Just be careful not to do it in public, I once laughed rather loudly to a Mitch Hedberg cd I was listening to while on the bus, and I got some very weird looks from the people around me...

I only do it when I hear the theme to "The Jeffersons" playing.

I sometimes find myself clapping with the audience when listening to live recordings of opera. I guess it's just a force of habit from attending so many actual performances.

While on public transit, I've found that by singing along and dancing to the music on my walkman I can make everyone edge away nervously and get myself some personal space.

i find that folks rapping to themselves with cans on in the subway get the same effect, especially when they rap "kill those white motha*****s, put yo shiv in em, dig it in deep" - you hear some interesting things on the subway.

ok, i admit it, that was me rapping.

I have a bad habit of break dancing in public places (supermarkets are my favourite) and have, on occasions, been known to tap dance whilst listening to music...... It's perfectly normal behaviour, nothing to worry about at all.

Singing, toe tapping, dancing...but never clapping.

I wasn't going to admit that I carry a flattened cardboard box around everywhere I go, in case feel like taking young MC's advice and busting a move. Or breaking it down for him. But since Pinkfloyd admitted it...

 

[Salt Peanuts]

Humming, singing (badly), toet apping, finger tapping...haven't clapped with songs yet.

I do occasionally get this idiotic grin on my face while using my portables (or listneing to music in general) when I hear something I particularly like. Of course when I used to use IEM's, people would look at me funny and walk around me since they didn't see my phones.

New Zealand's funniest home video anyone?!

But ah, who am I to comment, I twitch my body to the music while using portable in the train...
