Hi AIR-ers. Long time listen, no speak. I'm getting curious about the history of Indie music and how the Internet facilitated it. Can anyone point me to previous publications on related topics? I'm prolly looking to start in the late 80s on listserves that sprang up discussing indie music, tho it wasn't called that then ... Season's greeting and best wishes to you. Cheers, Huge http://www.huge.id.au BTW, "How the record industry got it so wrong" V1.1 is out now from http://www.huge.id.au/shop
