Priest's Earworm and Event

We were just sent a press blurb and cover image from Duke University Press for the SCA's Eldritch Priest's upcoming new book Earworm and Event. We can't wait to read it, too! Here's what they have to say about it: "Duke University Press will shortly publish Earworm and Event, an innovative new book by Simon Fraser professor Eldritch Priest. (February 2022). Priest questions the nature of sound, music, thought, and affect by analyzing the phenomenon of the earworm: those reveries that hijack our attention, the shivers that run down our spines, and the songs that stick in our heads. Through a series of meditations on music, animal mentality, abstraction, and metaphor, Priest uses the earworm and the states of daydreaming, mind-wandering, and delusion it can produce to outline how music is something that is felt as thought rather than listened to. Priest presents Earworm and Event as a tête-bêche—two books bound together with each end meeting in the middle. Where Earworm theorizes the entanglement of thought and feeling, Event performs it."
