I can feel them pretty often, depending on the mood and the song. Some song may give me frisson one day and not the other.
One day, after taking an hallucinogen I put on Maggot Brain by the Funkadelic... the ordinary frissons turned into full body orgasms -- orgasm is slightly incorrect, more like pleasure waves riding up my spine and radiating through my body, nothing sexual. I'm a (mediocre) musician, I could feel physical tension when waiting a chord progression resolution, and physical pleasure when the music reached the tonic, or when the chorus started after the breakdown. My recollection is obviously a little vague, but I think I've rolled on my bed 50 times in full body orgasm for the duration of the album.
That was quite a transcendent experience.
As a little aside, I've started entering a bad trip when the album finished, stuck in the thought loop that I must stop the music at the correct point, when the melody and all the tension is resolved. But I had also ingested another substance at that point, and that's a story for another time.
EDIT: and weirdly enough, ASMR don't seem to do anything for me. I just feel mildly uncomfortable when a total stranger is whispering stuff to me.
