    I am enjoying your discussions regarding how and if Christians can engage in culture.

    The topic you touched on relative to whether certain kinds of music – the chords/notes, not the lyrics – have any kind of moral implications reminded me of an episode of This American Life a couple of years back (http://thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/110/Mapping – see the “Hearing” section, about 12 minutes in) in which part of the discussion related to how particular notes and combinations of notes evoke particular moods.

The augmented 4th, a musical interval, for example, was known as the “diabolus in musica,” “the devil in the music.”
