on: levitin’s this is your brain on music

I’m pages away from the end but I think I have enough to make this review–and besides, I feel a need to exercise my brain muscle because it’s in a state of demi-atrophy.
I picked up This Is Your Brain On Music: The Science of A Human Obsession because I love music. Actually, I don’t think it’s the music so much that I love, I love what comes as a result of music. Music is a means to an end. Music is important because it’s often that it isn’t so much the end that defines the trip, but the route through which you get there.
