2. This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel J. Levitin Review Summary

Sale

This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession

In this groundbreaking union of art and science, rocker-turned- neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin explores the connection between music–its performance, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy it–and the human brain. Taking on prominent thinkers who argue that music is nothing more than an evolutionary accident, Levitin poses that music is fundamental to our species, perhaps even more so than language. Drawing on the latest research and on musical examples ranging from Mozart to Duke Ellington to Van Halen, he reveals: • How composers produce some of the most pleasurable effects of listening to music by exploiting the way our brains make sense of the world • Why we are so emotionally attached to the music we listened to as teenagers, whether it was Fleetwood Mac, U2, or Dr. Dre • That practice, rather than talent, is the driving force behind musical expertise • How those insidious little jingles (called earworms) get stuck in our head A Los Angeles Times Book Award finalist, This Is Your Brain on Music will attract readers of Oliver Sacks and David Byrne, as it is an unprecedented, eye-opening investigation into an obsession at the heart of human nature.

5. Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece by Dave Mustaine Review Summary

Sale

Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece

FEATURING A FOREWORD BY SLASH A BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT THE MAKING OF MEGADETH’S ICONIC RECORD, RUST IN PEACE , BY THE BAND’S LEAD VOCALIST AND GUITARIST When Rust in Peace was released in 1990, the future of Megadeth was uncertain. Fresh off their performance at the record-breaking Monsters of Rock festival, and with knockout new albums from Slayer, Anthrax, and Metallica dominating the charts, the pressure to produce a standout statement record was higher than ever. In Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece, the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist, Dave Mustaine, gives readers a never-before- seen glimpse into the artistry and insanity that went into making the band’s most iconic record. He recounts the arduous task of hiring the band and supporting cast, of managing egos and extracurriculars during the album’s ensuing success, and succumbing to the pressures of fame and fortune-which eventually forced the band to break up. And yet, Megadeth’s demise was just the beginning; the birth pangs of the record were nothing compared to what came next. Alcohol, drugs, sex, money, power, property, prestige, the lies fed to the band by the industry-and the lies they told each other-threatened to eat away at the band’s bond like rust, devouring it until only the music survived.

9. Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, Revised and Expanded Edition by Oliver Sacks Review Summary

Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, Revised and Expanded Edition

Revised and Expanded With the same trademark compassion and erudition he brought to The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat , Oliver Sacks explores the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition. In Musicophilia , he shows us a variety of what he calls “musical misalignments.” Among them: a man struck by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist at the age of forty-two; an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth; people with “amusia,” to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans; and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds-for everything but music. Illuminating, inspiring, and utterly unforgettable, Musicophilia is Oliver Sacks’ latest masterpiece.
