Right. So I'll say that I'm most interested in either diversity (if it's a primer on new or new to me bands) or consistency (as with Nuggets).
In terms of long tracks, I think it's fine to have the odd long piece; I think someone like Derek/ UUUUU wouldn't really work in a 2 minute slot. There was a great compilation from the Experimental Music from Japan stable that had a 30 minute (I think) piece at the end. The Wire tappers (which have gone downhill, but the first 3 or 4 were great) had the occasional longer piece. It's an aesthetic point, I suppose, but it's worth mentioning that if you're a songy band and can't make your point in less than 3 minutes you should probably give up (remember: you're not Sonic Youth).
