Friday Morning Science Soundtrack

To coincide with Genomic Repairman's daily music postings, and the awesome grad school blog carnival Samia is hosting over at 49 Percent, I present my own top pick on my personal Science Soundtrack. Though it doesn't actually convey my grad school experience (which was on the whole quite good), it sure nails the post-doc.

Here it is, arguably the greatest metal song ever:

MASTER OF PUPPETS - METALLICA




A perfect meditation on the at times abusive relationship I have with Science.

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings

Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams

Blinded by me, you can't see a thing

Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master

Master

Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master

Master



Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after?

Master, master, you promised only lies

Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter

Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries



Hell is worth all that, natural habitat

Just a rhyme without a reason

Neverending maze, drift on numbered days

Now your life is out of season

My fellow masochists are invited to contribute their own picks for the Science Soundtrack.
