Ever wonder why a great song sends chills down your spine? Or up your spine, as it technically does in my case? I couldn’t resist posting this slightly off-topic, but still relevant article from Scientific American magazine about music and the brain. It’s an easy an fascinating read that’s well worth your time. To learn more visit, Music and the Brain at Scientific American and read neuroscientist Norman M Weinberger’s easy to read article.

Most of you have probably never heard of Norman Whitfield. But I’ll bet hard cash you’ve heard of The Temptations, and most likely, a song named “Ain’t too proud to beg”. Well, Mr. Whitfield co-wrote “Ain’t too proud to beg” with Eddie Holland Jr., later of Holland-Dozier-Holland fame when he was a mere 23 years old.

The best thing, though is that Norman Whitfield was just a 19 year old kid when he began hanging around the Motown studios bugging the heck out of Motown’s founder Berry Gordy for a gig. Eventually that persistence paid off and Berry put him to work in the control division of the label determining which hits were going to get released on the label.

I was listening to JackFM the other day and Annie Lennox’ song “Walking on Broken Glass” came on. My radio trigger-finger aimed itself at the dial, and since I was fortunate enough to be alone in my car at the time, I blasted the beejeezus out of it. There is this amazing mix of piano and strings in the song that pairs so well with Annie’s driving vocals that it’ll easy send a chill up your spine if you’re listening with an attentive ear. That baby has a HOOK that’ll kill!

Great short article in today’s FMQB reporting on the first day of the Digital Music Forum East event in NYC. Seems like folks are a little hot under the collar regarding digital rights management (DRM) and what some see as the dismembering of all that used to be good about working in rock n’ roll. Even Britney Spear’s recent hairdo, or lack of it, made it into the discussion. Interesting. Heck, and where else can you stand up at a conference, point your finger at an executive and throw expletives in their direction. . .nowhere but in music, baby. Sometimes, I really do miss that level of candor!
