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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, 16 April 2009
By Dave Gilmour's cat (on Dave Gilmour's boat) - See all my reviews
A useful book, full of information about lo-fi music and fanzines. It works better as a guide that you can dip into rather than something you would wish to read cover to cover. It is, perhaps, a little dry in places but it's very inspiring to read about the likes of publications such as Despite Everything: A Cometbus Omnibus and Duplex Planet. Use it as a guide to further reading and listening.
