    You should get some Tanner libraries. Back to back 100 funk tracks, all 30 seconds a pop?

    That'll[/b] kill your attention span (well, what's left of it)

    "So many things will happen that one can't explain
    You find yourself saying "who me" time and again
    They say what goes around comes around
    ahun so think about it while you're messing up clown
    A mother's love and a father's concern
    Here is the reason you should listen and learn
    'Cause quick schemes and fast living can kill ya
    I know how the excitement and danger can thrill ya
    But take it from somebody who knows
    'Cause after all the highs, you're gonna feel all the lows
    This is why knowledge of self is essential
    'Cause if you don't have it, you may simply go mental
    See, life is not a thing to be toyed wit
    'Cause every second, another dream is destroyed wit
    The systematic plan devised to erase us
    And straight to hell is where they're trying to take us
    But never fold and hold back your fears
    Have a strong mind and try to say your prayers"

    and just about every Minor Threat song ever made...

    DJ Assault mix CDs. Straight up Detroit volume 4 has 99 tracks! Assault got the crazy funky and short songs. Ghetto tech folls.

    Wasn't Bobby Womack's "Quicksand" (from the Across 110th Street soundtrack) hovering around the one-minute range (I'm at work, can't check)? If so, I'd definitely list that one as well.

    Off the top of my head I can think of Buzzy Linhart's "Boogaloother Or 'Captain Hornbone's Last Desperate Truck'", which is a little over one minute long. I love the vibes on that one

    Hey,

    I forgot about the intro to "Paul's Boutique". "To All the Girls (or Ladies)" I think is what the song's called. Here are some more:

    -that Extra P interlude joint before "Checkmate" on Ak's "Vagina Diner".
    -"This is It"-Funkdoobiest.
    -"Gem"-No I.D.
    -"Engineer Talking Shit"-The Beatnuts.
    -"Poppa Yo"-Dwele.
    -"Welcome to Detroit"-Jay Dilla.

    Peace,

    i love giving compliments like "your waistline is banging like a bassline"

    typical response: "um... thank you... ?"

    If you have a lot of music in your itunes, sort it by song length with the shortest stuff first, get hella stoned -- most listening fun I had this month.
