and not been completely irrelevant?
I just don't see the point. Fair enough if it's the introduction to a record, or an actually formed song, but otherwise i just think it's a token gesture.
These are some that i don't dislike:
Beirut - A Call To Arms
Casiotone - Theme From David Hanna
David Thomas Broughton - Interlude 2
These New Puritans - H
We Are The Physics - Action Action Action Action Action
These are the only one i actually think enhance whatever record they're on:
The Maccabees - Diamond Solitaire
Dananananaykroyd- Infinity Milk
Casiotone - Students For Scarves & Charm
Am i being silly?
short tracks which are links between other tracks on flowing albums
without them the albums in question would sound pretty wrong
examples?
i don't do examples
the notion should be enough
See GBV
7 or so tunes on Alien Lanes are under a minute. My favourite is 'Hit'
PIMPLE ZOO
ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
a lot of hardcore bands write songs that are exclusively
less than a minute long. E.g. Agoraphobic Nosebleed.
but then you could argue
that none of their songs really 'mean much at all' so... I don't really know.
touched
by my bloody valentine
is better than most bands entire back catalogue
also, you suffer by napalm deatha
and let's get sandy by be your own pet
...
You're not just being silly, I'd say it was borderline retarded. How has length ever been an indicator of quality? You obviously don't listen to much music if you can't think of bands who have short songs that are awesome.

Most of Plague Soundscapes

How long is Untitled off Untrue by Burial?
It's pretty short, and not really a song. But it's a beautifully eerie quote from a even more eerie film.
What film is that
quote from, ive always wondered.
you fucktard.
most of my favourite songs are under a minute long.
some of your threads are a bit stupid sometimes
yeah you are being silly
straight edge by minor threat is 45 seconds long. you might not like it but it means something for sure. i could go on but cant be arsed
all of whirlwind heat's second album
That album is quality!
The first one is good too. Pity about that tird one.
Her Majesty is 22 seconds long
I quite like the jollity of it.
Candydiosis
by Pop Will Eat Itself and Elizabeth My Dear by the Stone Roses. Both 'say something'
It's from a film called 'Inland Empire'
directed by David Lynch. And it's always scared the living shite out of me.
Certainly can my man.
Looking on my i-tunes I can name a few:
boa constrictor, magnetic fields
mi-o-mai, mclusky
harolds dewlaps, winnebago deal
little room, white stripes
tick eats the olives, devendra banhart

Most Bikini Kill songs.
Nearly every song by Some Girls.
Proper rage/emotion and all that amongst the screams/grinding guitar noise.
Wire
- Field Day For The Sundays
<3 some girls
the big question is though, who wins out of daughters v some girls? some girls for me.
DAUGHTERS FTW
I'm with you on Some Girls.
I like Daughters, but Wes's mob has the edge due to the fact 'Deathface' is proper epic and they have a song called 'I Need Drugs' which has an awesome bass line intro.
their cover of No Fun is immense too
we played it last night when we djed. people were slightly thrown by it. we also played the number 12 looks like you- my sharona which led to even more confusion
Awesome!
I should really go to Norwich. Good call on the No Fun cover.
yeah i wish there were good people there
no one danced really, then some bloke started heckling us then asked us to play good music, and asked for rock the casbah, and our mate got annoyed at us because they were being dicks and he blamed us, so we got pissed off and played scholastic deth and the locust
BOOKSTORE CORE!!
I've played the Locust during the DJ set and it went down really well! Some guy even asked who it was and approved!
yeah it didnt really go down too well last night
but we just got pissed off and decided to be dickheads :)
the scholastic deth song was 15 seconds long (killed by school) so presented quite a challenge in changing the other deck and playing in time
oh sod you both :D
i ordered that some girls album you told me to the other day.the £1 one off amazon.pregnant something
:D good.
Heaven's Pregnant Teens is brutal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29aVd0dxqZg

i'm starting DiScussecutchecons.
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
Her Majesty
Final track on the Beatles album, Abbey Road.... great little ditty.
Back And Forth by Unkle
Awesome intro to the album "Never Never Land" and also xbxrx "the end of quitting"
Wire and the Minutemen?
