072: Brevity Is The Soul Of Wit

"All Songs Three Minutes Or Less...Guaranteed!"
This is a good mix to listen to in the car if you're taking lots of short trips! I had made similar "short song" cassettes in the past: Mixes 21 and 32 were very similar. To make it slighly more interesting, I mostly excluded 1950s & 1960s pop songs that are almost all under three minutes anyway!
  1. [Untitled Instrumental] Bo Diddley
  2. "One Week" Barenaked Ladies
  3. "In God's Country" U2
  4. "Get Up" (Live) R.E.M.
  5. "Tears Of A Clown" The English Beat
  6. "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard" Paul Simon
  7. "Second Hand News" [alt mix] Fleetwood Mac
  8. "Waterloo" ABBA
  9. "The Apartment Song" [demo] Tom Petty & Stevie Nicks
  10. "Let My Love Open The Door" Pete Townshend

I goofed around with Photoshop to extend the checkerboard tile floor
behind Evan Dando to fill the rest of the background of the CD tray insert.
