115: 60 Seconds Or Less

Here’s a crazy one: 74 songs in an hour — each of ‘em approximately 60 seconds or less in length. It’s all held together by spit, twine, and shoe polish. I guarantee you it’s not 74 hardcore punk songs. Matter of fact, there are plenty of pop songs within. And John Zorn (pictured), too. This set would have been fun to attempt on the air in the olden days when DJs had to cue up LPs on the turntable. Don’t blink!
