Audio Illusions (quite interesting)

[pablo blue]

I have nicked this from the bbc website, but I thought it was pretty interesting.
It's basically pointing out how once you've noticed something in a song, you can't "unhear it" (it jumps out at you every time you listen)!

A quick, but awesome demonstration (on soundcloud) is here:

LMao, that was cool! I guess it applies to songs but sometimes, it'l; be YEARS before I can catch something in a song

Somehow, I picked up on the near-silent muffled robo-mumbling at around 3.40 into Metronomy's 'Mick Slow' when I was on an aeroplane of all places (after having listened to the song in near silence many many times). Haven't been able to un-hear it since.

The inhales after every line on The Killers' Mr Brightside, it wont go away, still a great song
