"The original hypothesis that we had was that people who scored high on empathy would be preferring music that would have a greater deal of emotional depth to it, so one example could be Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'," Greenberg says.
"We thought that systemisers on the other hand may be preferring something that has a greater degree of intellectual complexity, where if you're listening to the music it's going to challenge you to have to deconstruct different elements of the song and piece it together."
And that's what they found: empathisers preferred music with greater emotional depths and reflection, while systemisers went for music with cerebral depth and complexity.
…I'll take confirmation bias for 100. Like there's really only two types of people, or music, or that the two don't EVER combine. I'm still waiting for the men vs women part of the article.
Uh oh.

Like two flamingos in a fruit fight!
I'm grooving on all the vids that are autoplaying after finding that track. Right now, it's Bat Chain Puller, and it was just Ice Cream for Crow.
I just watched "Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band – German TV 1972". Great performance, but the camera guy must have been extremely stoned.
Since my music tastes jumps by the day (minute) from Brahms, to Beethoven, to Buckley, to bluegrass, to head bashing, likely means I'm total schizoid.

I went to high school and played in a band in said high school with James McNew – he was always really nice to me.

Used to see them at Maxwells all the time, when such a thing was possible.
Yep – Albemarle High School in Charlottesville, Virginia. Also shared a stage many a time with Boyd TInsley. He was not generally nice to me.
Heard James on NPR the other day, talkin about and playing his Ace Tone: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Tone

I learned something from a YT commenter today.
| Jody Williams 1957 Lucky Lou |
| Otis Rush 1958 All Your Love |
Oddly, my you tube recommendations are filled with Giant Squid and Otis Rush videos.
This awesomeness came up:

Look at those white people listen politely.
Buddy Guy, Jack Bruce and Buddy Miles. How are those people still sitting down?
It's having the desired effect!
