Eldritch Priest questions the nature of sound, music, thought, and affect by analyzing the phenomenon of the earworm: those reveries that hijack our attention, the shivers that run down our spines, and the songs that stick in our heads.

雖然說這本書號稱是由兩個取向截然不同的部分組成,但其實做的事情都蠻類似的:從earworm出發的excursion。當然一部份比較隨筆一點,另一部份則是廢話明顯少很多。
他出發的方向還蠻多的,從似曾相聽的歌(我想不到他文中的earworm要怎麼用中文講)出發,講到做白日夢,講到這些歌與原曲的相似卻又完全不同,講到記憶、感受以及重複性。每個方向都有其有趣之處,不過如果他可以花多一點篇幅來討論他所使用的、來自別人的概念(或多解釋一點 - 有的時候會覺得看得有點煩,在講semblence的時候我就蠻希望他可以多講一些,而不是好像理所當然的就直接端去用,畢竟我是完全不懂),我覺得better
