is it just me or is it cool when.....
you're listening to music on headphones and the music travels from one ear to the other. I also love when it starts just in one headphone and it builds to the other. Who else is with me on this?

2. I do too.

That's very cool. I always wonder how they do that. I think it's a studio thing, but I amazed that a stereo or CD player can read that.

12. Choral! Neato!
Yes, when you get the stereo imaging, especially of choral arrangements (to my own taste), it's quite lovely. Or rockin'!

15. My ignorance, like my slip, is showing...
I thought they were choral w/ orchestra. See, this is what happens when you live in a segmented radio market...

16. you're not completely wrong
they do have choral songs, in the album i have on now, "O Tannenbaum" starts with this beautiful male choir before going to a single male vocalist with instrumental background.

8. Stereo sound, aww yeah.
I love that...when like the drumming is in one ear, but the guitar is in the other and then it builds to one sound?

Haven't listened to music on headphones in many years, but that was indeed one cool thing.

18. There's a song on the new Eminem CD that does that...
In one ear it's dialing phone, and every time it tricks me. I love that.
