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.

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 10:04 (twenty-three years ago)

one of those 30 second ANal Cunt epics?

"There's a Riot Goin' On"

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...

"Julia"

all the songs by "by coastal cafe".

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.

michael wells (michael w.), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 12:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Surely something by Hedwig.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 12:42 (twenty-three years ago)

"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.

JANDEK A CAPPELLA

'Final Day' Young Marble Giants.

The Beatles - "Her Majesty"

Paul (scifisoul), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Nico, "It Was A Pleasure Then"

Do we get to make the font small now?

A.V. Alexandre (Keiko), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 18:24 (twenty-three years ago)

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"

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 22:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The entire Empress oeuvre

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

Keith McD (Keith McD), Wednesday, 23 October 2002 02:59 (twenty-three years ago)

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)

Orthrelm's album "Asristirvieldriox" (2002) includes 99 songs in 13 minutes.
