♫ Best Songs Under 2 Minutes poll - VOTING and CAMPAIGNING (voting closes March 31st) ♫

here is ok.

I couldn't find:

Regrettes - Juicebox Baby (1.51)

on the pastebin list under R or T (in case I entered it as The Regrettes), though I'm sure I included it in my first wave of nominations.

Thanks Karl again for amazing efforts with this.

Here is my promised playlist of otherwise non-steamable nominated songs by The Yummy Fur - 7 songs, about 8 minutes total

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1fmqf9vwPImj7O4D7FRmaUz98CsqCTXF

This song I nominated is on Spotify but due to their typo in the artist's name (two g's in Cambridge) it did not get pulled into the playlist. I also accidentally nominated it as "He's a Mover" (the wrong title on Spotify) instead of "He's About a Mover." ANYWAY, it's an amazingly fast, stomping version of the Sir Douglas Quintet original.

Karl: checked my nominations and only found two minor things, both of which can stand as is. One typo: the Accents song is "Ching a Long" (listed as "China a Long"). And two White Stripes songs are listed as "The White Stripes," another as just "White Stripes."

Something that just occurred to me: I'm really happy I nominated the Mendoza Line. (If you don't know baseball, the Mendoza Line, named after a famously poor hitter from the '70s, is .200.)

Won’t the best songs under 30 seconds subpoll overlap somewhat?

Nominations Change Log:

additions:

Vashti Bunyan - Diamond Day (1:47)
The Regrettes - Juicebox Baby (1.51) (wasn’t actually in the nominations thread, at least not that i could see, but since this is the *knock on wood* FINAL edit to the list, went ahead and added it. Spotify and Youtube both include the “The” in front.

Typo/definite article corrections:

Steely Dan - “Through With Buzz"
Accents - "Ching a Long"
Took “the” off of two White Stripes songs

~~~~

any other things that need correcting? as i mentioned above, this will be the final final edit to the nominations list. speak now or forever hold your peace. and in the event that you don't hold your peace, i will try not to be a total asshole this time in responding.

in about 30 minutes i will submit the new list as a pastebin file, post it here, edit all of places in the google form that refer to it, and ask a mod to edit the OP of this thread with the correct links to the updated nominations list.

ok, here's the updated nominations list:

https://pastebin.com/6d7NQGFc

KM: I should have checked the original thread to be sure that I did indeed nominate "Juicebox Baby" (and then just let it go if I didn't). In any case, thanks for that, and for all of the work you are putting into this poll.

no problem!

Won’t the best songs under 30 seconds subpoll overlap somewhat?

yeah, probably. but it seemed right to give the shortest songs their moment in the sun, especially since a lot of people thought 1:30+ songs were too long for this poll.

Camper Van Beethoven's cover of "Wasted" made the noms but not the Black Flag original >:(

lol this Earlimart song is a remix of a Blur instrumental

Loved the Family Fodder track just before it though!

I made a playlist of a certain subset of all the nominations, not stanning for any of them just a bit of fun, best effect if you skip each song after 1-2 seconds:

https://open.spotify.com/user/ledge/playlist/1uMkeSUpwlJHLzx1QkpyN9?si=LJOVMgCxQQOs0273IMaVkA

aka the Gerogerigegege playlist lol

Karl you must have missed the last batch of corrections I made in the nominations thread. One song is on there twice and I mentioned 'the' White Stripes and other splits with 'the'.

xp to imago,
I didn't know that about Earlimart (a band I don't really care much about despite nominating that song). Maybe you are mistaken?
Family Fodder is one of my all time favorite bands.

I am not mistaken. But it's a nice remix

hmm. now I'm thinking I was mistaken and it's just the same (unusual) instrument

ok, I approve of the Earlimart then :D

Not well known (the song, not the band).

What's the Use (Pretty Things, 1970)

Possibly a belated answer-song to "She's Leaving Home."

There definitely are some big similarities there imago. The thing that most intrigues me about the Earlimart song is when it hangs on the minor piano notes (from about 1:06 - 1:22) instead of finishing the sequence.

And since KM took the trouble to fix up the spelling, some great doo-wop from 1959 (of admittedly dubious sensitivity):

Ching a Long (Accents, 1959)

Contrary to the credits on the clip, it is "Ching a Long," not "Ching a Ling" (a point raised in the comments section). Seems to be listed as "Ching a Ling" all over the internet, but:

I've just realised that I've forgotten to nominate something. Are we accepting write-ins?

u kidding m8

it's this haha a neural network wrote a christmas song

lol. it's good but not quite as good to further toy with KM's sanity imo

ok fine, i won't mention it again. but it's going on my ballot :D

o god haha

I can proudly declare it's right there on the noms list too!

For those that like their songs *really* short, here's a playlist I made of songs that are all 7 seconds or less

https://open.spotify.com/user/1000timesyes/playlist/3n34eIuHsO4ZARoSYymkwL?si=hZ1Gn9dsS02tj5Jkmw3pCw

59 songs in 5 min, 13 seconds

Also, let me know if there's any good ones (0:07 or less) on Spotify that I'm missing!

lol, my immediate thought was "death metal and tmbg" and i was not disappointed

grindcore 👏 is 👏 not 👏 death 👏 metal 👏

i was looking forward to that response too tbh

I was looking forward to exchanges like that in this thread <3

Thanks for your work on this Karl, still going through the playlist but looking forward to putting a ballot together.

Would like to put a word in for one of my non-Spotify playlist nominations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFUoPRjhEG8

Idk if you're allowed to campaign for your own nominations or if it's in bad taste but then again I am a vulgar, vulgar man, a real nouveau riche ilx type shithead, so I am gonna do it anyway and beg for your forgiveness later, MAYBE.

Brian Eno - The Microsoft Sound (0:06) - Just wanted to remind you all this is available to put on your ballot. IT'S REAL GOOD, Y'ALL!
Danny Elfman - The Simpsons Main Theme (1:39) - This too. It's fine? I don't even know if I'll vote for it, but it is iconic.
AFI - Hearts Frozen Solid, Thawed Once More by the Spring of Rage, Despair, and Hopelessness (0:32) - A real test of Poe's law here (or whatever the... not internet? equivalent? of poe's law? is?), I can't tell if this is just the most "angry pop punk" song ever or a send-up of the genre. Either way, 30 seconds of Davey Havoc screaming I WILL DIE SCREAMING is a joy, and this is probably the only AFI song I have ever liked. Plus, there has to be at least one representative from Fat Wreck's "short music for short people," an album of 100 thirty-second songs, right?
Project X - Straight Edge Revenge (1:20) - Yes, yes, you should vote for the Minor Threat song, blah blah blah, YAWN, but, like, this is the best update to the "short song about not doing drugs hardcore" microgenre ever. I'M AS STRAIGHT! AS THE LINE! THAT YOU SNORT UP YOUR NOSE! hahaha. Come on. vote for it
Mitski - Old Friend (1:53) - maybe my fave short song by my fave artist of the decade so you know i'll stan for it. with 50 spots i'm still worried i'll vote for her 5 times? but if someone said "one vote per artist" it's this. (or maybe my body's made of crushed little stars. shit. tough pick)

And some I didn't nominate, because, that's the CLASSY MOVE

Guayaba - Bye Bich --- daaaaaaaaamn one of the (very) few songs that I hit while shuffling the spotify and went WAIT WHAT? WHAT IS THIS. it is very good
Farrah Abraham - The Sunshine State --- NOBODY TOLD ME SHE IS A SECRET GENIUS? help this is amazing
Boards of Canada - .......all of it? ugh how am I supposed to pick from these?

If it helps you decide, I am going to be giving My Body's Made Of Crushed Little Stars a LOT of points

and yeah the Farrah Abraham thing is glorious haha

i'm planning on voting for crushed little stars too

KILL MEEE IN JERUUUSALEM

one per artist is only like a code of honour thing tho, right? bc like... yeah i'm not gonna LIE and pretend i don't love both of those songs

imo two is fine and three is a bit much but probably tolerable

My ballot has five Minutemen songs right now

Also, we should have let whoever nominate the whole Circle Jerks album because "World Up My Ass" is not on the list

yeah there's no limit, but i'm gonna limit myself to one artist per song so i can spread the wealth a bit and go a little bit less insane when choosing and ordering my ballot

vote for the songs you like best imo

There's 3 different versions of the theme to 'Stingray', will they be collated seperately or together? i.e. does it matter which version I vote for?

I’m not familiar with the theme (and at work so I can’t listen), but if they sound pretty similar I will collate is there are votes for separate versions

if
