    Mood Music for Protein Purification

    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.

    Sensation(al)

    35 tracks working the five senses overtime. Touch, sight, sound, smell, and every flavor of feeling -- opening with Rocky Horror's invitation to touch and traveling through the numb, the blind, and the hurt before closing colorblind with Counting Crows.
