May have been covered before but I thought I'd start a thread following a discussion me and Milchman had a few weeks back about a band he posted about who had quite short songs.

Here's a current favourite from April by Space Wolves

http://space-wolves.bandcamp.com/track/ ... girlfriend

And a Red Krayola classic from 1968

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swoUP4mz9nI


Two songs each please!

What? That first link was so short! It didn't even register. I'm going to have to think about this. A short song to me is three minutes :mrgreen:

Half Japanese ... Rip My Shirt To Shreads

2nd of those might be a bit longer than what's gone before, but take it in the context that it is a track from a triple album!

Oh there's no real time limit. I guess we could put one though - under a minute or something?

I know someone who did a whole album of them, a concept album i guess. In celebration (?) of November 11th in 2011 when the date and time was 11 11 11 11 11 11 or something like that. An album of 11 songs, all 11 seconds long, all 11 related.

I got sent an album to review the other day where the band had made every song exactly one minute long. To be honest I thought it was a gimmick and given that I get between 50 and 100 submissions a day I didn't even listen to it.

Cheney by Brakes - all of 10 secs!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tYToHB36os

Edit: technically it's a live performance but Spinmaster Plantpot, in the days when he was still "Mad Paul" always makes me smile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3XdcJx-vBo (PS: only 39 seconds!)
