    Are You Scared To Get Happy? is a refrain by the truly wonderful Hurrah! on their magnificent Hip Hip single...in case you didn't know.

    I still have a copy of the issue of Are You Scared..? that came with the Sha-la-la flexi of Talulah Gosh's I Told You So/Razorcuts' Sad Kaleidoscope. The flexi's long gone, but the 'zine was indeed wondrous.

    Are You Scared To Get Happy? was an influential music fanzine published from Bristol, United Kingdom between 1985 and 1987 by Matt Haynes, later the co-founder of Sarah Records. It concentrated on what would now be termed twee pop bands, and was notable for its hardline approach to the independent ethic, as well as its expansive, lyrical writing style. Many subsequent fanzines were influenced by AYSTGH, and it was also a key influence on other record labels, e.g. Unpopular. AYSTGH set a trend in indie-pop fanzines by including flexi-discs including the earliest releases by bands such as Razorcuts, Talulah Gosh and several of the early Sarah Records bands.
