...went our separate ways and worked on our parts for a few months. Then we all went to this cabin in Big Sur to play together. I always regret how much better songs sound after I tour them.

The people who can go to that school are a small sliver of the population," says Kerri Boutelle, associate professor of pediatric psychiatry at University of California at San Diego.

...history is any indication, marketers will keep getting more manipulative, and the storm of commercial noise will become more focused. Even then, there may be hope: Lindstrom's testing shows that people respond to a sound better when it's subtler. If nothing else, smart marketers may at least keep the volume...
