Blue,
A really fun "compilation" you have made there! (I also just happen to have Blue Cheer's "Good Times Are Hard to Find" compilation on CD) I think the authors should also have talked about intrusive music as symptoms of possible epileptiform activity. The SSRI meds used to treat OCD always *worsen* the intrusive music I experience. Psychostimulants *and* anticonvulsants seem to *suppress* it. I ran out of a Depakote script recently and whew! it definitely got worse. My alarm was beeping and I turned it off and continued to hear it for nearly an hour! The most pleasing intrusive music situation I can remember was a class in college where we all had these squeaky wood chairs. The professor had the largest squeaky chair and he would drag it on the tile floor at the beginning of class. The minute the wood would begin to scoot it would hit the *exact* key the woodwind at the beginning of "Strawberry Fields Forever" hits. I would sit there listening along not paying any attention or taking any notes until it finished. Ok, now you have got me listening to the bass lines in "Parchment Farm"! :)
