With a touch of (Freddie) Mercury and, per Uncle Mitch’s request, a chance to get the Led out, this playlist is a little dreamy, a little hard, a little creepy, and somewhat weird, just like the elements themselves. Science!

Well hello there. Next month's theme is IMITATION. We're looking for written and visual work that has to do with mimicry, replication, re-enactment, dramatization, novelization, repetition.

Log in to replyOh my goodness, everything about this is so perfect!! <3
Log in to replyAwesomestuff! Wish my teachers made playlists like this in high school, maybe then I wouldn’t have sneaked out of chem class so many times just to eat spaghetti in the cafeteria. :S
Looking forward to a maths playlist!
