Tambourine Dream
Musical talent is, alas, something that passes a lot of us by. Not that lacking it stops certain people attempting a career in the industry - Jennifer Ellison, we're looking at you here. Fortunately though, there are instruments that allow those of us with the melodic skills of an upset dog to live out our pop fantasies, so with that in mind, we hail Tambourines as the 5th acest thing in the world ever.
Why are they so ace? Partly because they're so versatile; they can be both hit and shaken, much like children, partly because they jangle fantastically in the background of many pop songs, partly because they require no skill whatsoever to play; even Brett Anderson managed to use one. But the main reason for hailing their aceness is so that we have an excuse to use this picture. Isn't it lovely? It makes us want to come back as a tambourine in our next life.
