That was a good presentation, I have also linked it here a number of times. Your right too, some won't like that kind of thing but for those who work in this field, it is interesting.
What I have found fascinating is how our senses are tied together and since that is the only frame of reference we have, it is invisible to us until one finds examples which show the connection.
While Poppy's demo (which only works best the first time) shows how what you know effects what you hear while this video shows how at times what you see over rides what you hear. This one is such a strong connection that it works over and over even when you know what's happening.

If not bored of engineering yet, a friend and now co-worker Doug Jones did some early research on stereo imaging which isolated some of what makes things sound like they do and then made a recording where these alterations were generated artificially.

While Doug does our training and acoustic education classes at work, he and I have been working on a multi-channel capture system which uses a different approach but I believe has a more realistic sense of space than the other methods and can easily be extended to an entire hemisphere or sphere. If you have headphones on your computer, see if these don't seem 'different".

Hornlover, we have large horns at work that might be fun if too large for the home, they that act / measure /sound like a single driver, not like a concert sound system or even a hifi horn system, here are a couple video's of big horns made with a camcorder;

Never mind. I googled the lyrics and found it. "What To Keep And What To Throw Away" by Mary Chapin Carpenter. I need to pay more attention to her music.
Yeah she has a haunting voice and a great recording.
I like it for testing because you can hear so much in her voice when things are right.
Here are a couple more of her;

I'm glad you brought her to my attention. I went to Amazon and bought 'Ashes and Roses' as soon as I found out what that song was.
Tom, what music are you playing on the third sample? I really like it.
