Re: Lindyhopper's Delight
I still can't remember the term, and I'm combining bits and pieces of things that I've read to apply to music... but here are the bits and pieces from my foggy memory: (it's possible I'm completely wrong/misremembering some of this) - your brain strongly tries to seeks patterns in everything, which ...

Re: Lindyhopper's Delight
I can't remember the term, but it's a psychological effect where if something is just slightly off from "perfect", it activates more regions of the brain... particularly in the psychoacoustic realm, where it's such a brief transient. The 'ol grey matter is stimulated by processing those bi...

Re: Bananarama - Tain't What You Do
