Tyler: I have a lot of sources in my dissertation bibliography that would help you (it's commons licensed so you can get it easily from ProQuest). Rough to the Board: Creating Performance in American Recording Studios. You might also really want to look at a couple of other really fabulous sources that I used on my first YouTube paper (2007) - you can get a copy of that on my Academia.edu page. I'm thinking specifically of Michael Warner's book *Publics and Counterpublics* (as opposed to using Benjamin Anderson - I found this really helpful); and Greg Urban's book *Metacultures*. http://iupui.academia.edu/merylkrieger Best, Meryl On Fri, May 11, 2012 at 12:24 PM, Tyler Bickford <tb2139@columbia.edu>wrote:

Hi all,

As part of a project I'm working on, I'm interested in finding literature on amateurism and the internet, especially involving entertainment, music performance, and youtube/video sharing (the sweet spot would center on Justin Bieber, Ellen, Rebecca Black, etc), but I'm certainly open to broader perspectives.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks much, Tyler
