Comment:

All songs except Today Has Been A Fucked Up Day are at least nine syllables. This mix was painful to make but damn it turned out nice. I'm quite happy with it. If anyone else has a long-title mix out there I'd like to see it to compare notes (I searched dilligently but couldn't find one). Word up.

Cool!! I tried making a long-title mixtape once but I didn't have enough songs to fill the (90min) tape... aha, I'm going to try making it over again on a 60min tape. I'll be sure to post what I come up with! I really like how you don't have any artist repeats (too many possibilities from the Smiths for me!)

it's 2 cds... should've written that somewhere... so yeah teeeeechnically there's no repeats but you could say there are. i'm replacing the beck, eels, and radiohead duplicates with tunes by gorky's zygotic mynci, the magnetic fields, and barry white. wicked.

oh by the way: lots of these songs were found on epitonic.com and there's no other way i ever would've heard of them. the title is my own invention for a long song title.

Check out Man...or Astroman's? album "A Spectrum of Infinite Scale" for some ridiculously long song titles.
