I'm making this for my friend Jamillah. I'm sending it to her as barter for a couple of screened posters she's doing for shows at her place in Chicago of bands I'm into. Not finalized at all; I don't even know what the side-lengths will come to.

stereolab - sadistic
quintron - certain girl
Olneyville Sound System - last time i rock and roll
the pop group - we are all prostitutes
japanese karaoke - 'jazz song'
tom waits - table top joe
sightings - chili dog
reversal of man - mittens and muzzles
dead kennedys - too drunk to fuck
violent ramp - grind the pigs
minutemen - joe mccarthy's ghost
casiotone for the painfully alone - i should have kissed you when i had the chance

acid mothers temple - the creation of the human race
pearls before swine - (oh dear) miss morse
will oldham - sheep
julie doiron - sweater
sonic youth - flower
the fall - winter, part 1
black masks for secrecy - homage to a national office park
decemberists - here i dreamt i was an architect
the fall - winter, part 2
cap'n beefheart - her eyes are a blue million miles

i haven't heard most of those songs.
is it themed?

cut each of the songs in 15 second fragments. layer these fragments in a continuous sequence so some recognisable things appear at a timing regular enough to hold attention, whilst some parts are so dense they require either careful unpicking or elicit bafflement. try to layer/mix some tunes so the BPM synchronise. others might suggest other frames of similarity.
