Prompted by today's Song of the Day, the wicked "Ketchup Soup" by the largely unknown band The Teen Idols, I finally ripped Short Music for Short People into my iTunes library after watching this evening's new episode of Eureka. You never adequately appreciate just how terribly long thirty seconds can feel until you listen to a truly wretched thirty-second song. Of one hundred one songs, ranging in length from 0:08 seconds to 0:37 seconds, I added forty-six to my ever-growing library; most of the rest I'd rather not hear again as long as I shall live. But several of those forty-six are so righteous as to justify whatever price I originally paid for the compilation ("Triple Track" by Dance Hall Crashers, I'm looking in your direction).
