Parsons Playlists: My Chemical Reaction

Posted on February 24, 2022 by marmstr3

Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist features music to accompany an organic chemistry lab as curated by Music Library student assistant Kiran (class of 2024).

My Chemical Reaction

Part 1: The Beginning of the Lab

Florence + The Machine – “Hunger”
Usually I get to lab and I’m hungry so I try to distract myself with some hype music.

The Strokes – “The Adults Are Talking”
Usually my professor gives a small lecture before we get started if needed.

Twenty-One Pilots – “Shy Away”
I start to work with tunnel vision and tune out the other groups in lab.

Part 2: Focus Mode

Conan Gray – “Overdrive”

Salt-N-Pepa – “Push It”

MARINA – “Oh No!”
This is usually where something goes wrong in the reaction or I spill a chemical.

Gorillaz feat. Daley – “Doncamatic”

Majestic + Boney M. – “Rasputin”

Various Artists – “Punjabi Mashup”
Adding some culture to the mix, helps me feel energized if lab is going really slowly.

Mac Miller – “The Spins”

MGMT – “Electric Feel”

Part 3: Did it work?

Gorillaz – “Revolving Doors”
This is the part where the reaction usually needs time to sit and we have other work to do.

Lil Peep & ILoveMakonnen feat. Fall Out Boy – “I’ve Been Waiting”

Crystal Castles – “Vanished”
Our reaction worked! Now we have to analyze it with spectroscopy.

Tame Impala – “Is It True”
Now we have to see how pure the product is using our data.

Drake – “Over”
