Shh....someone might hear you and start doing just that.

oh no - too late!

I'm very fond of the single format I must say - the restriction of cramming 
your idea into a 3min poptastic nugget is quite a challenge. And you get a 
B-side to have fun with too...

I've been considering setting up a web-based "singles club" for some time - 
asking different people to contribute two 3/4 min "pop" tracks and single 
artwork, then bundle it in a zip and mail it to people (with a possible web 
archive, although I think that goes against the style somewhat - these 
things should be transitory).

This discussion has fuelled my fire considerably - would anyone be up for 
it - production or receipt?
