Comment:

for my very favorite mad scientist. this mix is pretty appalling. there's some really ridiculous music on here - but most of it makes me laugh. it's meant to put some of the fun back into science for a poor stressed out grad student. we'll see if it works. the title is from an old photo caption in the new york times.

Hooray for Tom Lehrer! I'd love to hear this, especially any song about Ampere's Law. Yay, magnetic field intensity as a function of distance - yay!!! Sorry - I didn't know there was a song about my favorite law of electromagnetism. Let me know if'n you'd like to trade for this. Looks totally fun - at least that's a physics/astronomy instructor's opinion.

Fun disguised as catchy music! If there's any chance of arranging a trade for this, I'd like to pass it on to a couple of Scientific Americans . . .

Great Mix. I was just thinking recently that this would be a great idea for a CD. I'm a science geek who loves music. Your musical taste is similar to mine
