[Air-l] indie music scenes + internet

[Nancy Baym]

Thank you for that link, Fred. She may be too modest to say so, but 
Holly's own book 'Site and Sound: Understanding Independent Music 
Scenes' Peter Lang, 2003, is also required reading.

A couple of other relevant things I have in hand since I am exploring 
this topic as well:

Michael Ayers's edited collection "Cybersounds: Essays on Virtual 
Music Culture"

and

Kenton O'Hara and Barry Brown's edited collection "Consuming Music 
Together: Social and Collaborative Aspects of Music Consumption 
Technologies."

I would be particularly grateful for any additional recommended 
readings specifically regarding online music fans.

Nancy
