Mood music for the lab bench: 36 tracks to run a column by. Lou Reed's great adventure and a sedated Ramones up front, Scarlet Begonias and an acoustic Watching the Wheels in the middle stretch, Patti Smith doing Teen Spirit and Warren Zevon's Life'll Kill Ya on the way out, and Joe's Garage to close. Appendix: Barfly, Bukowski, Just Kids, and four beers.
