Research #2

I found this book 'Bubblegum Music Is The Naked Truth: The Dark History of Prepubescent Pop from the Banana Splits to Britney Spears' to be very helpful when writing the chapter on virtual bands. 

The book offered extensive information on the Archies (a virtual band that is known by many) and a lot more information on perhaps more obscure virtual bands.  It served as a great reference book for an otherwise overlooked musical genre. On the other hand it provides a look at the blatantly commercial, sometimes deceptive and occasionally cynical aspects of pop music which made for a very interesting read.
