Two Minutes Forty Two Seconds
I, like Kevin at So Much Silence, wanted to know which songs in my collection were "the perfect length" after reading this funny Morning News article. (Also like SMS, I had 42 songs, and many of them we had in common).
The list:
Arthur Advocate - Four Forty Eight
The Beach Boys - Forever
The Beatles - Michelle
Blood on the Wall - Junkeee... Julieee...
Bob Dylan - Song To Woody
The Books - All Bad Ends All
Caribou - Hello Hammerheads
Cat Power - Half of You
Chris Isaak - Forever Blue (Acoustic Version)
Chris Thomas King - Hard Time Killing Floor Blues
Conway Twitty - To See My Angel Cry
Crystal Castles - Alice Practice
Emitt Rhodes - You Should Be Ashamed
Eric Bachmann - Lonesome Warrior
The Fiery Furnaces - Ex-Guru
Franz Ferdinand - Swallow Smile
Guided by Voices - Echos Myron
Holopaw - 3-shy-cubs
Julie Doiron - I Left Town
The La's - There She Goes
Let's French - Start A New Life
Lily Allen - Alfie
The Lovin' Spoonful - Full Measure
The Magnetic Fields - Xavier Says
The Mendoza Line - Golden Boy (Live)
Microphones - Something
The Mountain Goats - Slow West Vultures
Nancy Wilson - Lucky Trumble
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood
Nina Simone - To Love Somebody
Okkervil River - The President's Dead
Rosie Thomas - All The Way To New York City
Sam Cooke - Twistin' The Night Away
The Saturday Knights - Ass Kicker's Haircut
The Shangri-Las - Past Present And Future
Sufjan Stevens - Super Sexy Woman
Tap Tap - Little Match (Big Fire)
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Criminal Piece
The Terrordactyls - Decoration Daniel
Them ft. Van Morrison - I Can Only Give You Everything
Uncle Tupelo - Discarded
Yo La Tengo - Center of Gravity
Okay... okay. I'm surprised to not see more Mountain Goats songs. And no classics. Whatever-- being able to share Conway Twitty with you makes up for any disappointment.

Dang, I only had 36 songs. The ones I shared with you were Ex-Guru, Slow West Vultures (but I had 3 other Mountain Goats songs! Twin Human Highway Flares, Stars Fell on Alabama, and Dilaudid), The President's Dead, and Discarded.
I have those tMG songs as well, but they're not 2:42 according to iTunes... And remember: it's quality, not quantity.
Heh! I think that some of these are actually live versions. Or maybe WinAmp views time differently...
classics:
i can see clearly now
gloria
under the boardwalk
up around the bend
