2:42
I’m not sure who is responsible for the brilliant 2:42 muxtape, consisting solely of songs that are 2 minutes and 42 seconds in length, but whoever you are, I salute you. The Violent Femmes “Mother Of A Girl” was new to me. “Echos Myron” is near perfect. Also, I almost forgot about the excellence of “Lovely Rita.”
A nice Platonic touch in starting it off with “There She Goes”, one of the few songs of the last 20 years that sounds less invented than discovered. The La’s Deluxe reissue, which just came out, is supposed to be very good as well…

I believe that <a href=“http://scalzi.com/whatever/?p=640”>this</a> will point you both to the maker of that muxtape and the person who independently discovered the idea some five years earlier.
