ok i know i talked shit about "sabotage tracks" earlier but uhh if this farrah abraham song was intended to be that, it backfired, this is insane, i think i love this? what the fuck? this is SO FUCKING WEIRD
afaik we were never really given a good explanation for this. it's still kind of an open mystery. every time I listen to it I think of this YouTube comment: "if Captain Beefheart made 808s & Heartbreak"

a bunch of songs on get happy are slightly shorter than 2 mins and two on My Aim Is True are significantly shorter.

Weekend Nachos - For Life (1:05)

no I just couldn't find that song on Discogs!
"Radiation Generation" is my favorite of theirs but idk the track time and I used up all my noms on US hardcore tracks

Thoughts on ‘Henry’ by Rod Stewart aka the introduction to ‘Maggie May’ on ‘Every Picture Tells a Story’, it’s listed as a separate track on some pressings.
― Dan Worsley, Thursday, 21 February 2019 23:11 (five years ago) link
Never knew that. Another oddity: even though it's always "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon" for Jefferson Airplane--I never see them listed separately--digitally, they're two separate songs (with "Won't You Try" just over a minute). That'd be on my list for sure, but I'll bypass it--I just don't think of it as a standalone.

― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 22 February 2019 13:14 (five years ago) link
iTunes crashes if I attempt to add my whole library in it so it was a painful add one chunk, remove the sub 2 minutes, add another chunk, remove the sub 2 minute tracks, etc.
I think there is a Windows Explorer advanced search limiter based on "length:" but I couldn't get it to work.

They may not fit very well in the overall punk/rock'n'roll-ish slant of the playlist, but those Eno tracks were the first thing I thought of as examples of 'miniatures'.
