Anyone catch this doc on PBS last night?

LA Times review

LA Times Review Wrote:
with practical demonstrations by deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie; pianist Daniel Barenboim; cellist Yo-Yo Ma; and British indie rock royals Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley, who help investigate the physical effects of musical collaboration (Cocker sings the Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning" from within an MRI machine, while Hawley accompanies him on guitar).



Something I took from the first 30 min or so... each of us is hard-wired differently, via environmental conditioning, to like certain things about certain music.

I keep getting a proxy error on the page, but here is the official site for the doc - http://www.pbs.org/wnet/musicinstinct/

I have it DVR'd and plan to watch the rest tonight.

I think this has been discussed in the book thread, but this is a pretty good read as well:
