The Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) has conducted a study into the influence of rock music on the individual.

It says few people understand the powerful influence that music has on the frontal lobe. Depending on the type of music, it can either influence the brain beneficially or detrimentally.

Music therapists say that certain types of music, such as rock with its syncopated rhythm, bypasses the frontal lobe and thus escape "our ability to reason" and make judgments about the genre. Evidence suggests that like television, rock music can produce hypnotic effect.

For many years, some have argued that rock was running the minds of young people, the publication adds. It says that (to provide some empirical evidence) neurologists and a physicist recently teamed up to put this claim to a test through three groups of mice. One group listened to no music, another to Mozart, and a third to rock music. But first they ran the mice through a maze to establish a base time of 10 minutes. Then they separated the mice in their distinctive groups.

After one month, the mice that listened to no musical at all reduced the time taken to navigate the maze by half (five minutes). The mice that listened to Mozart did even better. They navigated the maze in only one-and-a-half minutes. The rock music mice "bumped their way through the maze" taking 30 minutes. Eventually, the experiment came to a halt due to the rock music mice eating one another.
To determine why the rock music mice were having so much trouble, the researchers examined their brains. Sure enough, they found abnormal branching and sprouting of the nerve cells and disruptions in the normal amounts of messenger RNA, a chemical crucial to memory storage. This could help explain why rock music listeners are more prone to use drugs and engage in extramarital sex, and why heavy metal listeners are much more likely to consider suicide.

On the other hand, it has been demonstrated that classical music helps college students learn spatial relationships in geometry.
The document asserts in conclusion that: "If you listen to the wrong kind of music, you will become the wrong kind of person."

 

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Don't worry about the whole mice eating each another thing, I'm sure this is still applicable to humans. Probably.

 

Also, thanks for not making any generalisations - well, theres no evidence that heavy metallers are more suicidal, but hey, Marylin Manson caused all those murders, right, and it's kind of the same thing. Wait was that Charles Manson? Or My Chemical Romance?

I guess that helps to define the "Eat or be eaten" axiom!

...Batman, Batman, Batman. I saw the new film last night (mazingly brilliant by the way) and had to post the Jam song thats been stuck in my head all day. This video is cut to the intro of the 60s Batman show.

 

 

For those of you who havent seen the cheesy greatness of the Adam West Batman shows, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger have nothing on these guys. The music is fantastic too.

 

 

KER-SPLOOSH!!!

On 'ten commandments of country', Emmylou Harris covered the Beatles song For No One. The mandolin is so great:

 

She also did a cover of the (amazing) Flying Burrito Brothers song Sin City. Unfortunately the embed is disabled , but the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCn0SEaL0SE

Her Wrecking Ball is an album too painful to listen to anymore, but luckily I listened to it enough that I don't have to.

Beyond her wonderful performance, Emmylou is cute as she innocently but erroneously credits Lennon as one of the song’s authors.
 John had absolutely nothing to do the writing of “For No One”.
For my money, Harris does the best cover of another McCartney/Beatle tune “Here There and Everywhere” (Lennon’s favorite McCartney Beatle tune BTW)
