<p>Great book I just finished. I had read one of his previous ones back in college and loved it. Nothing like the strangeness of truth. Wait...someone said that better. The book is a series of case studies of people with neurological conditions that all revolve around music. </p><p>The highlights are contained in the book which is now half red with pen marks, but here's some notes and thoughts it inspired enough to cause them to be writ:</p>How much of outer body experiences are culturally interred, how much is raw neurosci?<p>Musicophilic flood of raw music & temporal lobe seizures.</p><p>What if our strange neurological syndromes became the norm? What would we induce?</p><p>Fear of music and epileptic triggers (great character trait).</p><p>Kleine Nacht musik > sensing by reading and creating experiences in your head.</p><p>Brainwork sufferer. "Ohrwurm", composer Slonimsky. Check out the Twain story. </p><p>What if you had to find the music playing in your mind? </p>

Here's what this site looked like right when I posted this. This balloon race thing is probably the coolest use of the web I've seen in a long time. The applications are enormous. And designed lovely taboot. My balloon, "Rikkitikkitavi" is in like 9000th place, but hey, that's cool. Not sure how long this link will work, but here's how to access my balloon: <a href="http://www.playballoonacy.com/show/02be01c6de745dad97623a0feb4dad9c" target="_blank">http://www.playballoonacy.com/show/02be01c6de745dad97623a0feb4dad9c</a>.
