Subject: Some new Too Pure releases and news
 
A week ago I got a new single by Seattle's <<Volume All Stars>> called
<<Alpo Boy>>, released on Too Pure in the UK. Not exactly what one expects
from TP - it's cute beyond the extreme (a bit like <<Solex vs
Hitmeister>>), but certainly makes pleasant, bouncy summer listening.
There will be an album called <<Close Encounters of the Bump and Grind>>
released next week I think.

Listening to it now, it's OK but hasn't really made much of an impression.
Cute, as David says, and cute isn't something I particularly go for.
