Comment:

The name tells the story. All songs clock in at under two minutes. Ok, so I cheated a little. There are two songs that _really_ go over the limit: "A New England" (2:12) and "Bought & Sold" (2:09). But I just really wanted to include them in this mix, so that was that.

This is actually a CD, but AOTM doesn't include enough spaces to list it in CD format! That's okay, since I did compose this mix as having two sides.

I had a lot of fun making this. If anyone can point me to other AOTM mixes that have a similar theme (short songs), please let me know. I'd like to see what others came up with. Also, I'm open to trades. Thanks.

I think there have been others. It's a good format. Lotsa good stuff here, but if you had 1:50 to spare you could add Tobin Sprout, "All Used Up."
