Fascinating article on what parts of the brain are stimulated by different activities related to music (hearing vs. imagining vs. emotionally reacting vs. etc.).
My one concern with this article is that it might discourage some adults from taking up a musical instrument.

Boondocks Highlight Reel
The Boondocks (on Adult Swim) is one of those shows you either love or hate, depending on which offends you more and which offends you less. Kind of like Mind of Mencia and Chappelle's Show.
I love this show, even if the satire can be on the harsh side. Here's a 10-minute highlight reel that someone compiled, including the great kung fu fight scene between Huey and Riley.

Intriguing new Musical Toys from Blue Man Group
Toys occupy an honored place in the art of making music, particularly at the fringes. One of my fondest toys-and-music memories is watching a UCSD music professor (who taught a Rock Guitar class) take a "solo" on a toy guitar, lay it on the floor, douse it with lighter fluid, and set it ablaze as it continued to play its preprogrammed rock guitar riffs.
I can't wait to get my hands on these new toys from Blue Man Group. Check out the article at Music Thing.
