More Reasons To Be Cheerful



Ever read a book that you wished hadn't ended, simply wanted more of, or in amazement of what was in the book, wondered what was left out? That seems to be the case these days as writers like our friend Paul Gorman go to the trouble of writing excellent books, and then start an accompanying website or blog to go along with it.

For at least a couple of years now, Paul has been blogging on a regular basis over at RockPopFashion.com on music fashion history related topics to accompany his (so far) best known book, The Look. If, like me, you think Elvis' tailor or where the Sex Pistols formed (and that's just the obvious stuff) is almost as important to the history of the music as the music itself then this is the place for you.

With the recent publication of Reasons to be Cheerful: The Life and Work of Barney Bubbles, Paul has started yet another blog, Reasons To Be Cheerful (Art, design and rock & roll). In case you missed it the first time around, you can find out more about Mr. Bubbles and his massively influential design work here, then buy the book, and then click the RSS feed to subscribe to the new blog.
