I take your Slow Fade.

And I raise you Mirah's Recommendation.

I counter with

Shitgobbling Hate Generation by Gore Beyond Necropsy and MegaArmageddon Death by Electro Hippies, a combined length of under ten seconds

did you hear about

that tribute CD to You Suffer some japanese label was going to put together?

guntrip | 6 Apr '07, 10:19 | Send note | Report this | Reply

YES

Didn't it get held back because they could only fit 99 tracks on a CD and it only ended up being about two minutes long?

Mega Armageddon Death

Is the shortest song of all time isn't it?

Have you got the Electro Hippies Peel session by the way? i can send it yer if you want.

pfft

shortest song ever doesn't interest me. a five second album track isn't big news

but if someone knows the shortest ever charting single then i'd be more appreciative

i think it was

the sortest song to ever be played on Radio 1. It's about 0.4 seconds or something like that.

thommo | 6 Apr '07, 02:10 | Send note | Report this | Reply

shortest ever charting single was

DJ Nation by Nukleuz DJs: 75 seconds long and reached number 40 in 2002. Closely followed by "United States of Whatever" by Liam Lynch at 85 seconds long.

Do I win a prize?

a virtual pat on the back from me

money can't buy that sort of shit

I'm not sure if I have it

if I do it'll be an old tape. Their album The Only Good Punk Is A Dead Punk was a fave back in the day

Guinness book of records lists the shortest song as

You Suffer (but why?) by Napalm Death.

And pretty much

The entire GBV discography.
And Serptentine Pad by Pavement.

GBV are on there

The rules were one per artist, no more than 74 minutes per comp and pretend nobody else has ever recorded a song less than two minutes long because ignorance is easier.

OK then

On your next comp, there should definitely be some of The Locust.
In fact, making a compilation of fantastic short songs is a great idea. I think I'll start now.
