242: Twenty Four Twos (Point Five)

Well, here we are again, time to dust off the Front 242 jokes, or maybe some pattern recognition — but instead I think I’ll go chronologically. I thought about two 42 minute songs, but that would fudge the time requirements and I only know the one Steve Reich album, so I went with twenty four 2 minute songs. Actually, I found 24 songs clocking in at exactly 2:30, making my list exactly 60 minutes long. Or, at least they’re exactly 2:30 according to their mp3’s, which I did not double-check, but my atomic clock has been stuck at a few minutes to midnight for quite some time now anyway, so close enough.
