Agreed. But keep in mind that music, unlike livestock, is also something which is put forth by man. It is both that which comes out from man and that which goes into man. Whorish music and generally music which promulgates an illness defiles he or she who makes it.

Another thing which comes out of man is the decision to return to such music. And he who consciously subjects himself and praises the defilement of others, in so doing, defiles himself. It seems the quote from Christ applies only to certain situations as that where one is subjected to the music not of his own accord and does not delight in it. Maybe a shopping mall, for instance, where Lady Gaga Pokerface is playing through the loudspeaker and you're just trying to get a fresh pair of undies.

Roger Scruton made a video about this topic, and I think it's worth a watch.
