Blink & You'll Miss 'Em


I was originally going to attempt a mix of tracks all under a minute long, but i realised that it would've been rubbish. Rubbish i tell you. So i decided to make it tracks under 2 mins. Ah, but weren't all songs from the 60s that length? Damn. I then limited the mix to tracks released 1990 onwards. The result - indie heaven/hell, take your pick.


Cd Length 51:47



  1. Super Furry Animals - God! Show Me Magic (1:50)
  2. The Las - Feelin (1:44)
  3. Vines - Highly Evolved (1:34)

  5. Kenicke - Come Out 2 Nite (1:58)
  6. Boo Radleys - Lazy Day (1:36)
  7. Brassy - Boss (1:57)
  8. Primal Scream - Velocity Girl (1:18)
  9. Billy Bragg & Wilco - My Flying Saucer (1:45)
  10. Helen Love - Rockaway Beach, Heartbreak Hotel (1:59)
  11. Teenage Fanclub - What You Do To Me (1:57)
  12. Komeda - Boogie Woogie / Rock 'N' Roll (1:58)
  13. Bad Livers - Lust For Life (1:55)

Still one of the smartest mixes I've ever heard this.

Just knew there'd be a GBV track amongst this lot. Cool mix Sam

Two minutes and under is plenty brief. The problem is that some of them are so well crafted that leave you wanting more.

I missed this one but, yeah, these are totally cool to do. For my own effort, I went with a 100-second limit (as, I agree, one minute does leave you with some real dreck). See http://popkulcher.freehostia.com/mixes/details/568.html.
