I was alerted to this article in the Smithsonian by Roberta Batorsky. Leave it to the Smithsonian to report on the science of the aesthetic chill, or goosebumps.
Check out Roberta’s blog, The Solipsist’s Soiree, always full of fresh links to interesting material.
If, as I have, you’ve ever mulled over how exactly you’d be able to listen to music should you happen to survive the Apocalypse, this information should be of particular interest to you. Be sure to copy it out now, since there likely will be no internet post-Armageddon.
I was referred to this article a few weeks ago by regular Classic Ross Amico visitor Roberta Batorsky, but I was saving it for a slow news day. Thanks Roberta. You know I’m definitely trying this out.
