A recent, not incredibly scientific study, compared various artist's/music genres and correlated them to SAT scores. The chart takes a look at those results. Let's hear it for my favorite two artists--
Sufjan Stevens and
Bob Dylan--whose music appeared to give participants higher scores.
I'm also very pleased with
the Shins and the
Grateful Dead, who knows where I would be today without their
inspiration while I studied, maybe that's how I got through med school...actually I know I got through med school through fasting and prayer. If I have to study then it's nice to have some good music to break up the silence and open up the brain. Music has been a constant companion and the play list on the side of our blog is something I take very seriously. We have
Eddie Vedder-takes me back to 9
th grade; the
Grateful Dead and
Bob Marley-such good friends in high school and they’re still by my side.
Beck was there in my early days of
Weber State as I studied on the grass.
Sufjan Stevens-a wonderful find in Arizona;
Of Montreal-accompanied me on all my crazy bike rides in the Arizona desert;
Tribe Called Quest-
climbing in Utah;
Death cab for Cutie-doing Yoga while stuck living by the hospital;
Radiohead-soothed my mind while trying to sleep at the hospital on call;
Mason Jennings-
brotherly love and friendship;
Beirut-horn resounding
Philadelphia experience. Each band has a particular memory that has etched its way into my memory with some good experience.
I'm sure we all have our own, a song and a memory to go with it.
Makett loves the jumper!
