Researchers are finding that the parts of the brain used to parse speech are also used to process music. This makes sense, as the primary components of each of pitch and timing. The theory is that music is pleasing because of the way in which it exercises the relevant parts of the brain for these tasks; this too makes sense as most people seem to derive some sort of strange pleasure out of talking (at least so it seems as they never shut the **** up).
What this means is that music is just linguistical masturbation.
