The Reds played the Diamondbacks and we had seats out past third base to catch the game. (Mental note: consult Shaded Seats in the future.)
Great game. Saw Elly De La Cruz steal home and then in the bottom of the sixth there were back-to-back-to-back home runs. That was something.
And just when I thought I’d heard the entire playlist of songs that inspire clapping, Blister in the Sun came over the ballpark organ — the snare drum hits in the Violent Femmes track work perfectly.
Other songs on the clapping playlist:
- Rose Royce Car Wash
- DJ Casper Cha-Cha Slide
- Fritz and the Tantrums HandClap
- There’s more but my searching hit a dead end
Back to that Violent Femmes song, they break it down on Rolling Stone and do a deep dive of the whole album on this podcast Life on Record.
