'I'm not here to change your mind about Dusty Springfield or Shostakovich or Tupac Shakur or synthpop. I'm here to change your mind about your mind.' In this book, Michel Faber explores two big questions: how do we listen to music, and why do we listen to music? To answer these he considers biology, age, illness, the notion of 'cool', commerce, and the dichotomy between 'good' and 'bad' taste. Through extensive interviews with musicians, the book unlocks some surprising ideas about what's going on inside us when we listen to music.
