Your brain on music

Understanding a human obsession
Ever wondered why you can identify your fave song from hearing the first 2 notes? Or why you can't get that certain jingle or tune out of your head? Or why some songs leave you cold? Then you gotta have a look at this book by Daniel Levitin. It really is a great read and it explores the 'nature' of sound at a neurological level. Despite illuminating a lot of what 'goes on' in our brains with music, it doesn't spoil enjoyment, it only deepens the mystery of music. http://www.yourbrainonmusic.com/
