If music be the food of thought…

Oliver Sacks on Earworms, Stevie Wonder and the View From Mescaline Mountain

“I intensely dislike any reference to supernaturalism, but I think there can be profound mystical feelings which do not have to call on fictitious agencies like angels and demons and deities. The whole natural world is bathed in wonder and beauty and mystery. The feeling of the holy, the sacred, the wonderful, the mystical, can be divorced from anything theological, and is conveyed very powerfully in music.”

If the link above isn’t working (sometimes the Wired web server seems to have problems finding it), it is possible to get to it from the Wired home page.

VQR & The Octopus in the Cathedral of Salt

When the trumpet sounded,
everything was prepared on earth,
and Jehovah divided the world
among Coca-Cola Inc., Anaconda,
Ford Motors, and other corporations:
The United Fruit Company Inc.
reserved for itself the juiciest piece,
the central coast of my own land,
the sweet waist of America.

–Pablo Neruda, “The United Fruit Co.”

Google

Stumbleupon Review of :
http://www.google.com/

    IT’S a little known fact, but if you type ‘google’ into Google: you break the Internet.

    HOWEVER, it’s very important that you don’t do this.

    AT least not until I’ve finished downloading it to my hard drive.

    THANK you for your pleasant co-operation.

MySpace.com – Mahala Raï Banda – Bucharest – Folk / Funk / Jazz – www.my


    “Shaped in the Gypsy ghettos (Mahala) around Bucharest, Mahala Raï Banda (literally Noble Band from the Ghetto), combines a surprising array of trends and styles. Combining Romanian violins & accordions with a brass section consisting of army brass band veterans and a rocking rhythm section, they’re the rising band from the Balkans. They effortlessly combine a knack for inventive arrangements with an undeniable ability to turn every single concert into a wild party.”
