I wonder if the key to the WW and music is that they _make_ music rather
than just consuming it, as we did in our world before the advent of
radio/TV/video/MTV and all that stuff.

Or possibly that they are going that way. There is a radio station which
broadcasts music, there are the Weird Sisters, there is even Stubby Boardman
(if you believe that that's a real person). Conversely, there's never any
mention of music going on in any of the pubs, not even in the Leaky Cauldron
when Harry was staying there in PoA: you'd think they'd have a piano in the
corner or a session going on or _something_
