I'm still gonna listen to the 'Hag'.

I see no explanation for this : Aqualung

Just let me hear some of that Rock And Roll Music,
Any old way you choose it;
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be Rock And Roll Music,
If you want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me

I have got no kick againt modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast;
And change the beauty of the melody,
Until they sounded just like a symphony,
That's why I go for that
Rock And Roll Music ...

The ancient Greeks called it "harmony of the spheres." The Baroques called it "the Doctrine of affections." Nothing really new here, except the ability for testing with electronic gadgets.

"Our minds have internalized the music."

Totally reversed. Our minds have externalized the music.

"Music is not necessary for human survival,

It is for me.

I like to see a study on "just intonation" versus "equal temperment" and whether someone trained to hear the former can stand the latter.

Well, I dunno, but I've found if I turn Slayer up real loud it tends to drown out the voices in my head...

Wasn't there a Govenor of a southern state that wanted to give a cd to every pregnant mother in the state ?

Quantum Physics at work here: sound (vibration) IS energy. Beautiful Music is vibration in its grossest form...yet it is energy...energy that is clinically affecting brainwaves and brain circuitry.

Vibratory sound - taken to more specific levels - could, in essence, recircuit the brain to correct such issues as depression, alcohol abuse, anxiety, low self esteem, negative thinking, etc.

It also explains why, when I go into Walmart, time and space have lost all meaning and I come out hours later having spent way more money than I intended. Here, I thought they were pumping in some sort of Walmart Gas to put me in a buying trance. Now we know it's the Muzak.

Accordion music causes dementia.

This is not only the case for music. Essentially anything that we repeatedly watch or hear will form nueral pathways in our brains. We then tend to process new information through the same pathways and so anything we come across will be veiwed with the mindset we already have.

Essentially that is why a Democrat can look at Bill Clinton and think he was a great President. They were constantly bombarded with media that fitted their own preprogrammed nueral pathways - Bill's spindoctors were also quite good at using words that triggered familiarity etc.

This is also why so many of our kids are so negative and angry most of the time - what they constantly put before their eyes and ears is hatefull bitter music and many monstrous movies that constantly reinforce their negative veiws. Any incoming information is thus filtered through their predisposed nueral pathways.

Funny that the scriptures tell us to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. How do we do this? Thinking on good things and studying the word.

God Bless

BTW I preached on this at a youth service - It's amazing how this can change the attitude of "it's not doing any harm to "I better watch what I put into my mind.

...said Frances Rauscher, an expert in music cognition at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh.

The number of "new and improved" fields of study at which people make a living never ceases to amaze me.

[brewcrew]

...said David Huron, head of the cognitive and systematic musicology laboratory at Ohio State University.

This one, too.

No wonder nobody can write music anymore.

the corpus callosum, is up to 15 percent larger

They are odd, those musicians.
