best songs under 45 sec's to end a mix tape
im racking my brain here and all i can come up with are:
'bush recording' from beefhearts trout mask replica, a nifty little guitar outro from the p-furs, the rain and guitar thing from some j.m.c. record. that little sniping bit at the end of some pixies record and some insane phone messages from my deranged grandmother about how i had broken into her house and messed up her t.v. remote (she called with that accusation weekly)

Pull out yer pre-Bee Thousand GBV.
That one about Janitor X springs to mind immediately. From Vampire on Titus. Or maybe Propellor. They're on the same CD and I haven't listened in a while.

Violent Femmes' "Old Mother Reagan" is thirty seconds, I think, and ends with the word "stopped," which might make a clever ending for a mix tape.

"Chicken" by the Senseless Things
"All" by the Descendents
"They're Red Hot" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

There are a couple of pieces on David Byrne's "The Catherine Wheel" that work well for this. Also some of the short cuts from Naked City. If you have a whole sprawling minute left on a side, the Residents' "Commercial Album" is made up entirely of minute-long songs.

"They're Red Hot" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

in a hotly contested race for worst Robert Johnson cover ever....

si si GBV... "Ex- Supermodel" off Alien Lanes (this may be around a minute though)

― Aaron A., Monday, 28 July 2003 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Moloko have about fifteen thirty-second long snippets throughout their albums... a fun one which springs to mind is Dirty Monkey.

Coldplay - Parachutes
Shivaree - Cannibal King
Tori Amos - Wampum Prayer

Innumerable hip-hop skits, too.

Saphire Bullets of Pure Love - Mahavishnu Orchestra

― David Beckhouse (David Beckhouse), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that "Spyder" [sic] song, by TMBG (right?) is short enough ...

I always used to use the little industrial grind between "Dead Finks Don't Talk" and "Some of Them Are Old" ...

I think "Her Majesty" is short enough ...

"Underneath the Bunker," perhaps ...

If you the tape to go out with a bang, use 'A Brief Treatise on the Discovery of Antimatter' by The Dirtbombs.

It'll probably go better at the beginning of it, though, so re-record the whole damn thing on my say-so, y'hear?

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 02:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not sure about TMBG's Spider, but any number of the Fingertips pieces could work.

Not quite sure if it's under 45 seconds, but it's certainly close.
