I loved The Syllabus.
It covered so many things that resonated with me: historic ads, great photography, clothing, books.
I even ended up the buying the book on the Italian City.
Too many blogs end up being one dimensional. This was far from it.
It's such a shame it stopped. I appreciate that these things are exceptionally time consuming and often the work of dedicated amateurs rather than commercial entities but it filled a big gap.In a way it reminded me of the early days of The Face.

The Face.
Neville Brody design, beautiful photography, irreverent writing covering everything from music, night life, furniture, fashion, film. Always evolving.
It captured the mood of the moment, capturing the changes in tribal culture that the UK is so good at creating.
It sat alongside Blues and Soul magazine and GQ (USA) as my further education guides.

I work in advertising and a creative I once worked with said every agency art director in the 60's wanted his work to appear in the Sunday Times Supplement but in the Eighties it was the Face.

(Re the NME and The Face, it was often just two of us, living within a couple of streets from one another, who would compare notes.  I remember a good deal more of the NME - Parsons, Burchill, that crowd - than 'The Face', but that was because the NME was used for its gig guide.  Locally, though, we saw Joy Division, The Fall, The Cramps, Throbbing Gristle, Magazine etc. at the now semi-famous Ajanta club.  But we were already growing bored of it all and were searching for a way out).
