Highlights

>Using fMRI technology, they’re discovering why music can inspire such strong feelings and bind us so tightly to other people.

>“A single sound tone is not really pleasurable in itself; but if these sounds are organized over time in some sort of arrangement, it’s amazingly powerful.”

>There’s another part of the brain that seeps dopamine, specifically just before those peak emotional moments in a song: the caudate nucleus, which is involved in the anticipation of pleasure. Presumably, the anticipatory pleasure comes from familiarity with the song—you have a memory of the song you enjoyed in the past embedded in your brain, and you anticipate the high points that are coming.

>During peak emotional moments in the songs identified by the listeners, dopamine was released in the nucleus accumbens, a structure deep within the older part of our human brain.

>This finding suggested to her that when people listen to unfamiliar music, their brains process the sounds through memory circuits, searching for recognizable patterns to help them make predictions about where the song is heading. If music is too foreign-sounding, it will be hard to anticipate the song’s structure, and people won’t like it—meaning, no dopamine hit. But, if the music has some recognizable features—maybe a familiar beat or melodic structure—people will more likely be able to anticipate the song’s emotional peaks and enjoy it more. The dopamine hit comes from having their predictions confirmed—or violated slightly, in intriguing ways.

>On the other hand, people tend to tire of pop music more readily than they do of jazz, for the same reason—it can become too predictable.

>Her findings also explain why people can hear the same song over and over again and still enjoy it. The emotional hit off of a familiar piece of music can be so intense, in fact, that it’s easily re-stimulated even years later.

>“Musical rhythms can directly affect your brain rhythms, and brain rhythms are responsible for how you feel at any given moment,” says Large.

>“If I’m a performer and you’re a listener, and what I’m playing really moves you, I’ve basically synchronized your brain rhythm with mine,” says Large. “That’s how I communicate with you.”

>He points to the work of Erin Hannon at the University of Nevada who found that babies as young as 8 months old already tune into the rhythms of the music from their own cultural environment.

>“Liking is so subjective,” he says. “Music may not sound any different to you than to someone else, but you learn to associate it with something you like and you’ll experience a pleasure response.”

Boylan Heights is one of the best albums to come out of the eighties.

While some billionaire pop stars admit to performing with covid, or infect thousands because of lack of precautions, others do the right thing and speak up about the problems and risks related to touring in an ongoing pandemic.

It's frustrating to live in a world where streaming is the main way to consume music. I found this German band from Berlin called "Von Wegen Lisbeth" because of their son "Wenn du tantzt" which has great music and great text: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2JRghbgeYw

So I was thinking, it would be cool to buy the Album so I can listen to it. I normally buy and listen to albums not singles. But where do you buy it digitally? I don't want a CD or Vinyl because I live in Korea and I will need to move and don't want to deal with physical media.

I thought, in the past I found music on Bandcamp, so I went there and found https://vonwegenlisbeth.bandcamp.com but there they only sell their first album which doesn't have the song on it.

On their website https://www.vonwegenlisbeth.de/ they link to a shop where you can seemingly buy all their albums: https://krasserstoff.com/vonwegenlisbeth#merchcat-vonwegenlisbeth-musik butonly on Vinyl and CD, not for download.

Then I thought perhaps I could just pirate it, but the band seems to be too small, they don't show up on The Pirate bay.

I checked Spotify and all their albums are there, but I don't want to pay a subscription every month.

Isn't it weird that you can't buy a digital copy of a bands music? Where do people buy music digital copies nowadays?
