Just asking this question, because I want to use an FB song for an amateur film. I need a short song. Not including Pixies.

Angst is pretty short as well. Does that count as "released"? Wasn't it a B-side?

He didn't release it, but "The Short Song" is pretty cool.

"85 Weeks" is definitely the longest.

Jet Black River - (1:51)
True Blue - (1:49)
Brackish Boy - (1:35)
Thalassocracy - (1:33)
Whatever Happened to Pong? - (1:34)
Angst - (1:35)

Hmmm...So far, "Thalassocracy" seems to be the shortest. However, "Whatever Happened to Pong?", "Angst", or "Brackish Boy" will work quite nicely for the movie.

I appreciate the help because I'm not an extensive FB collector. I'd love to enhance my collection a little more, but it gets really confusing when one considers some of the obscure releases; I mean, he did a Peel Session with Teenage Fanclub, and then he did another one with "Everyone Is Wrong" on it, and some consider the latter not a real EP because it's a bootleg or something, not to mention that some consider this the second Peel Session and others wouldn't because the one with Teenage Fanclub isn't strictly FB or something, and also there are THREE versions of I Don't Want To Hurt You and Headache each, plus two of Men In Black, with one of those Men In Blacks having the exact same b-sides as You Ain't Me...........It's a nightmare. I applaud Jim for trying to organize it all.

Emily, I am almost positive "Angst" is a b-side on the Robert Onion single.

But remember....


It's not the size of your song, baby, it's how you sing it.

it's definitely something from TOTY. Most of those songs average about a minute and a half to 2 minutes
