Name the piece of music that's smaller than the proverbial gnat's chuff.

"Size Ain't Shit", Geto Boys ("When you're gettin' down on your knees to fuck/ Nigga like me still standin' up!")

Whatever it is, it's probably by Bernhard Günter.

one of those 30 second ANal Cunt epics?

Something by Galaxie 500 or Pylon.

"one inch rock"

Ironically enough, "All" by the Descendants. (The extended dance remix "No, All!" is a hoot and a half, too.)

some of the tracks off piano magics popular mechanics...like little clockwork toys, but in 1890s bratislava, and made from stuffed animals...

The Sound of Life Today by the Super Furries.

"if it really is me" by polygon window sounds like a baby shrew playing a cm long piano.

Surely something by Hedwig.

"All" is certainly short, but it packs some volume. My vote is for "A Few Words" by the Cat's Miaow. Maybe "Dark" by Low, in second place.

Do we get to make the font small now?

Fairport Convention, "Genesis Hall"

― robin carmody (robin carmody), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 18:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Napalm Death's "You Suffer", a reputed 4 seconds on the album "Scum". In fact, they could put together a 3-song medley in under a minute. Not exactly "tiny" in sound, though.

― Monsieur Du Pont, Tuesday, 22 October 2002 19:06 (twenty-three years ago)

on the original modern lovers lp... "wasted youth"...richman sings it acapella and it's super badass in it's emptiness on occasion.

or... do you want palatka doing a set of 11 songs in 7 minutes sweating and ready to fall over?

St Etienne - "Dilworth's Theme" at the end of Foxbase Alpha is barely there.

Also, Moe Tucker's voice is tiny on "I'm Sticking With You"

You beat me to it minna! I was just listening to Analogue Bubblebath 5 and I think some of that would count too.

just about anything by Alastair Galbratih, but particularly, vinyl curtain or water in my ears

― threemetalinsects (threemetalinsects), Wednesday, 23 October 2002 03:05 (twenty-three years ago)
