TINY MIX TAPES made a mix for ME! i'm so happy.
i get a kick out of songs with some scientific merit (esp astronomy!). i admit my nerd-dom with pleasure and with your help i'll be able to proclaim it loudly and beautifully!

i definitely appreciate it, although after listening to a few of the songs, i'm not sure some of these songs are ones i'd listen to more than once.
and of course, there were quite a few he missed...
examples being:
death cab for cutie - a lack of color ("when i see you, i really see you upside down" = optics!)
something corporate - down ("do you know what stars are? balls of fire, burning up the black space" - although it's bad science, because fire can only happen when oxygen is present, and there's no oxygen on the sun - also, something corporate is a guilty pleasure, not something to proudle proclaim).
can you think of any more?
