Product Description
Book Description
Since the 90's, hundreds of cds, records and 'cut n'paste' zines have been produced by individuals in reaction to the shortcomings of the music industry and mainstream media. The central message: if you can't find the cultural experience you are looking for, simply create your own alternative This exploration of lo-fi culture traces the origins of the DIY ethic to the skiffle movement of the 50's, the hippies of the 60's, the all-empowering punk scene of the 70's-80's and the 90's rave phenomenon. Through interviews with key writers, promoters and musicians, Amy Spencer charts the development of radical musical and cultural movements and the ever flourishing zine-scene. Examining the politics behind the production of the many 'home-made' recordings and publications available today, and in the wake of debate concerning music downloaded from the net, the book also addresses the ethical questions that DIY distribution pose to the music industry.

Synopsis
A well informed study that champions the unsung heroes and heroines of DIY distribution in art, music, literary zines and culture. This exploration of lo-fi culture traces the origin of the DIY ethic to the skiffle movement of the 1950s, mail art, Black Mountain poetry and Avant-Garde art in the 1950s, the punk scene of the 1970s and 80s, right through to the current music scene. Through interviews with key writers, promoters and musicians (including Bikini Kill and Bratmobile) Amy charts the development of music outside of the publicity machine of the large companies, and examines the politics behind the production of the many 'home-made' recordings and publications available today.
