Musical oldies and newbies

I recently sprung (via an Amazon affiliated seller with a good price) for the 3-disk expanded reissue of "The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society," released in 1968 and long since renowned as the Kinks' best album notwithstanding its initially being a flop. I had resisted this record for a long time, and then bought only the basic disk, on the view that nostalgia about meat pies and apothecaries isn't really my thing. But apart from its musical merits, which are very strong in the mid to late 60s hard-driving folk-rock vein, it's really not an exercise in insular English nostalgia as most accounts would have it, but rather a portrait of nostalgia's failure to make the narrator (Ray Davies) feel any less miserable. This certainly makes it more interesting than it would otherwise be, and the reissue has about a full CD's worth of good additional material that was not otherwise widely available.

On a more contemporary note, I'm seeking more information about whether Blonde Redhead's newly released "23" is worthwhile.

Studies show that learning song ringtone increases learning outcomes and IQ in young children. And according to research results, children who have been exposed to music for 36 weeks have significantly increased IQ as well as better study results than the rest of the children.
Listen to some of these songs:
Snake – Deep Jandu ringtone
Ja Ve Ja – Parmish Verma ringtone
Main Taare – Salman Khan ringtone
Therefore, if you are a person who likes to listen to music from a young age, be happy for that because your brain has the opportunity to develop optimally.
