'Money Grows On Your Knees' (which you have the chance to win a copy of) is lifted from Mike Tyler's 2012 album Erection. The New York native comes across as a latter day Lou Reed / Jonathan Richman-like character although with statements such as "I believe the sound of popular music is the sound of mutts barking; frictions, and strange conglomerations, mistaken identifications, and odd-ball pairings. Not Yin and Yang but Wham and Bam!”, there's clearly a different level of eccentricity involved.

New year, new Too Pure Singles Club - twelve 7"s in a number of colours hitting the hall doormat throughout the year. With the advent of mp3s you don't even need to play them as you're emailed virtual copies too; keep them pristine for your heirs! Sell them for vast profits and buy a small island! The choice is yours ...

So who says you need to start sending a year's worth of singles out in January? Not Fortuna Pop! anyway as they've started their's off this month. The idea is though that you get a dozen singles through the year & they're all ready for stacking in your Wurlitzer* as they come minus a centre. Fear not though as they kindly mail you a selection of branded centre adaptors  in different colours (digital links to the songs would be handy too though).

Despite being consistently good for the best part of thirty years, listening to new single 'Heaven' it doesn't feel like much has changed for everybody's favourite electro goths Depeche Mode since their eighties heyday.
