So, you’ve picked up your copy of the just-released Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist<\/a>— you have bought a copy, right?– and now you’re thinking “I’d love to curl up and read this, but what should I listen to while I do that?”<\/p>\n

Well, never fear, I’m here to help. Also, I’m really tired, and this seems like a quick and easy blog post… Anyway, here are some of the crucial records involved in the making of this book.<\/p>\n

1) Teeth Dreams<\/cite> by the Hold Steady<\/strong> This was probably the most crucial album of the lot, because it came out just at the time I needed to power through a whole bunch of edits in a fairly short time. And this album kicks ass– it doesn’t quite reach the heights of Separation Sunday or Boys and Girls in America, but it’s got all the good stuff you want from a Hold Steady record: loud guitars, sensitive character studies, and insanely catchy songs about drug deals gone bad. It’s good stuff, but my favorite track is probably “The Only Thing”:<\/p>\n
