Big Picture Science has an interesting segment on seeking pleasure, how one's experience of pleasure caries significantly based on preconceptions, and the mystery of why music is pleasurable.
This is an interesting tidbit on human pleasure seeking, and how the
experience of pleasure is significantly impacted by our preconceptions
of circumstances affecting our levels of pleasure.
The section on music begins around 7:40, but you will want to listen to
the entire piece for full understanding of the topic.
