I had this great idea: i was going to listen to my music ordered by track length, starting with shortest tracks first and decide which is my favourite song for each 15 second-length bracket.
Now one could argue that means this grossly favours songs that are shorter or longer than the standard 3-4 minute song…
For example, Vault Character by Calvin Harris wins 0-0:15, easily beating the only other possible contender ‘(Turning the Single Over)’ by Figurine, which lost because it’s not really a song as such. [And I must say I love how imeem or whatever-that-site-is says "log in to hear the rest of the song" when the song is 22 seconds shorter than the 30 second limit :P]
…I, on the other hand, think that’s the brilliance of my idea :D The radio discriminates against those which do not fit the standard song length, so this is simply positive discrimination.
It’s clear that I’ve come up with this as a form of procrastination, sadly it’s failed, as i’m already bored and i’m only at the 1:10 minute mark :P
