Team – “Feelgood by Numbers” Kanye West – “Crack Music” Some new ones: PJ Harvey – “Broken Harp” Dr. Dog – “Old News” Blitzen Trapper – “Badger’s Black Brigade” ----- I go to sleep and think you're next to me. |

I think "Setting Vs. Rising" (a little over two minutes long, I guess) is actually my favorite song off Random Spirit Lover. Though it seems like a sort of transition song, I find it surprisingly catchy.
"Mazurra", "Mazurka", and "Haul" are all cool sub-two minute songs off of Calexico's Spoke. Most of the songs on that album are under three minutes long and very cool. |

Lots of good additions here. I am especially kicking myself for not mentioning "I Don't Want To Hear It" and "Asleep and Dreaming." Here are some others I neglected:
Unrest, "Can't Sit Still" (1:43) Music Machine, "Talk Talk" (1:59) Tim Hardin, "Reason to Believe" (2:00)!! The Castaways, "Liar, Liar" (1:55) Eddie Cochrane, "Summertime Blues" (2:00) Swearing At Motorists, "Flying Pizza" (1:46) The Jam, "Boy About Town" (2:00) Sleater-Kinney, "It's Enough" (1:47) Maurice Williams, "Stay" (1:38)!! Misfits, "I Turned Into a Martian" (1:42) Tobin Sprout, "All Used Up" (2:00) The Replacements, "Customer" (1:29) or "Careless" (1:08) Both fantastic! _____________________________ Weep to Water the Trees. "This is my main concern with Obama; what if he has been groomed since childhood to blend in with the zionists and infidels? What if he has been led along by a radical islamic terrorist organization and positioned to become an influential politician? What if Obama gets into White House and turns out to be some crazy muslim terrorist? What do we do then? We'll be pretty screwed. It could happen." -- by some fucking nutjob |

Pixies, Wire and Guided By Voices are the bands that come to mind for me.
A little bit of trivia. The shortest recorded song ever is Naplam Death's 'You Suffer', clocking in at a whopping 1.316 seconds. |

Primal Scream, "Velocity Girl" (1:23)
Just ran across this golden little nugget over at Little Hits. No wonder it inspired a band name. _____________________________ Weep to Water the Trees.

Not so fast Y&WA. I love some of your additions. Especially "This Will Be Our Year" and "Girl Named Captain". I also stumbled across another perfectly formed pop song under 120 seconds this morning via my random shuffle: The Pooh Sticks, "Teenage High" (1:58) _____________________________ Weep to Water the Trees. "This is my main concern with Obama; what if he has been groomed since childhood to blend in with the zionists and infidels?

Great selection, although my choice for best songs would be Accordion and Do Not Fire! |

Yeah I love that track. It was one of the selections I had for my mix, but it got cut. Actually I had as many outtakes as tracks that actually went on, maybe I should do a volume 2. There are plenty of poppy and punky tracks under 2 minutes, but I was kinda trying to showcase more unusual structures where I could. Some songs can be downright epic in under 2 minutes. The Trail of Dead track is a good example. --- Sometimes fake fights turn out bad, sometimes actresses get slapped. |

Im in this "Flavor of the Month Club" where we all take turns trading mix CDs. The very first submission was called "Bang for Your Buck." Each song was under 2:30. My buddy used the same thought process. Here's what he came up with:
