Hi Holly, all, the following might be useful: Caspary, Costa, and Wolfram Manzenreiter. 2003. "From subculture to cyberculture? The Japanese Noise alliance and the Internet." Pp. 60-74 in Japanese Cybercultures, edited by Nanette Gottlieb and Mark McLelland. London: Routledge. Williams, J. Patrick. 2006. "Authentic Identities: Straightedge Subculture, Music, and the Internet." Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, vol. 35, no. 2, pp. 173-200. Also, Widerstand records (http://widerstand.org/) recently released a half-hour documentary, 'Notes on Breakcore', currently circulating as a torrent. In this documentary a number of breakcore producers and DJs discuss the reconstitution of the 'scene' by the internet and the role online plays offline, as it were. Hope this helps.

Great topic!
A response from my own (on-going) survey of indie musos (see http://polling.nationalforum.com.au/index.php?sid=4) that seemed related (and very common):
"26. In 100 words or less, please describe what you see as the biggest barrier to growing your career as an artist: the market for our stlye is not huge in tasmania. so we have to find international clients. "
For the record, "style" in this case means "Dark/Experiental/Ambient" ... respondent is Male, 17yo, quite active in Internet promotion of his band. Make of that what you will.
To put people who would otherwise not get this into persepctive, Tasmania is Australia's smallest state (pop <1million) and is notoriously conservative. It's the one that attracts the redneck jokes about in-breeding and so on ...
Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me for more info if you like. My survey is not specifically about location, though that's one important element ...
Cheers, Hughie

Thanks to everyone for the responses so far -- very interesting. I perhaps should just clarify that I am especially interested in work, and just plain ideas, that relates to local music identities and the internet. I am pretty well steeped in the popular music studies canon, including music and notions of community and social networks (I've published on that) so I don't really need help on that end. And again, thanks so much!
