What if Django Reinhardt wrote the Super Mario Bros. 2 soundtrack?

What if Django Reinhardt wrote the Super Mario Bros. 2 soundtrack, you ask? Well, sir, I'm glad you asked. I submit that it would sound a little like this:

8-bit videogame techno remixes

Here are a couple of videos for your Friday. The first is a video by a Japanese group named YMCK, inspired by Tetris:



The second is a live performance by Nullsleep. He doesn't come off as much of a DJ in this clip playing his Gameboy and doing his interpretive dance thing (isn't he just playing the tune off his iPod?), but the mix is worth a listen nonetheless:

Music is good brain food

Wired News has an interview with rock producer turned neuroscientist Daniel Levitin regarding how the brain reacts to music. Mr. Levitin has been doing this for about 16 years, and is an associate professor at McGill University in Montreal. According to Wired, he's considered one of the worlds leading experts in cognitive music perception. He says:

Through studies of music and the brain, we've learned to map out specific areas involved in emotion, timing and perception -- and production of sequences. [...] What we're learning about the part in the frontal lobe called BA47 is the most exciting. Music suggests that it's a region that helps us predict what comes next in a sequence.

He also goes onto describe that "music activates the same parts of the brain and causes the same neurochemical cocktail as a lot of other pleasurable activities like orgasms or eating chocolate." Sure, that's something that many of us have suspected for a while, but now we have a neuroscientist to back up that notion.
