This week on Revinyl, Shawn wastes no time putting Craig on the hot seat with a round of Either/Or, forcing him to choose between dream reunion tours—like seeing The Smiths or R.E.M. if they toured today. Tough calls and strong opinions kick off the episode.Shawn then rolls into his Over/Under segment, this time entirely themed around Eagles, sparking debate over catalog highlights, legacy, and cultural impact.Craig follows with a look at his latest Shazam discoveries, which were particularly cover-heavy this time out—proving once again how reinterpretations can sometimes hit just as hard (or harder) than the originals.They cap things off with 10 more random selections from Uncut's Top Albums of the 1990s, narrowing the long-running list down to just 10 final albums, which they'll dive into next episode.

Welcome to episode #963 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Daniel J. Levitin is a polymath whose career defies categorization - a neuroscientist, musician, and New York Times bestselling author, he seamlessly blends the scientific with the soulful. As a professor and researcher, his work has illuminated the deep connections between music, the brain, health, and creativity, with his insights gracing publications from Nature and Science to Rolling Stone and The Atlantic. Dan has not only revolutionized how we think about music through seminal works like This Is Your Brain On Music but also through his consultations with tech giants like Apple and Microsoft and his collaborations with legendary musicians like Joni Mitchell and Sting. In our conversation, Dan shares insights from his latest book, I Heard There Was a Secret Chord - Music As Medicine, a fascinating exploration of music's unique ability to heal and connect us. We discussed everything from the evolutionary roots of music to its capacity to transform physical and emotional health. He explained the brain's innate response to rhythm and melody, unpacking why music compels us to move and how it serves as one of humanity's oldest forms of therapy. The dialogue also touched on the neuroscience of creativity, the serendipity of success in the music industry (and business), and the evolving role of music in the streaming age. His work reminds us that music isn't just entertainment - it's a vital force that shapes who we are and how we connect with the world. If you've ever wondered why a particular song brings you to tears or makes you tap your foot uncontrollably, this episode will resonate deeply. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:08:01.
