| Â | The Lo-Fi Threat |
 | | The biggest threats facing the rise of surf music are the proliferation of cover bands, the invasion of the no lyrics=surf bands, and lo-fi. | | | The no lyrics=surf bands are more dangerous because their product will be bought by folks getting their feet wet for the first time, and the resultant boredom in listening to melody-free backtracks will turn them off forever. | | | Bands would do themselves, the music, and us all a favor if they waited until they were really ready to record before doing so, and release only the best tracks they can muster, instead of the cheapest. |

| Â | Lo-Fi Revolution |
| | As a result, we are by-passing the recording /record company/radio/video industry by recording our music ourselves, at home, on cheap recording equipment ranging from crappy little cassette players & boom boxes up to 4 or 8 track recording equipment. | | | This revolution is made up of Artists and Bands who are appalled at how the music industry is ruining music and stifling creativity. | | | "Rednail Music" This is the home of Bunk Nesbit, and the 75 different bands he plays in! |

| | Keith creates the music to which Mick moves, and while the heaviest impact of the group is undeniably audiovisual, the sound alone has made the Rolling Stones the only white band played in a number of otherwise exclusively "black music" disc-jockey programs around the country. | | | More significantly, he had recently formed the ground-breaking rock band, Living Colour, an all-black heavy rock band that would eventually score a string of minor hits on rock radio. | | | Rock musicians were early adopters of hippie fashion and introduced such styles as the Nehru jacket; bands such as the Beatles had custom-made clothing that influenced much of '60s style. |

| Â | "The Club is Open:" Robert Pollard and the Social Function of Popular Music |
| | This solo/band split also became a problem with the band’s label, Matador, who thought flooding the market with Bob’s music could alienate fans who are trying to keep up, at the same time dilute the buying power of the potentially wider popular music audience. | | | I used to love to find bootlegs of old ‘60s bands that were just outtakes and unreleased songs. | | | Another interesting aspect of the band’s current marketing status is Nadine’s regular participation on the Postal Blowfish mailing list, informing the die-hard how the marketing effort is going (in very specific terms of what radio stations in what parts of the country are playing singles, etc.) and letting them know how they can help. |

| | For what it's worth I think a lot of early NZ music fits the lo-fi genre, but we are see recent cross-overs with new and old bands still generating this quality. | | | Is it really a question of Does NZ have a genre we are best at ie in your case low fi, or will you happen to go and see another live band/act next week, next month that is completely different to what you have recently seen. | | | After watching a couple of bands down at me local last night, I started thinking about which genre we are best at. |

| | Techno, depending on whom one asks, has existed for approximately ten yearsit is not new music when compared with some music genres of the '90s: Lo-fi, Neo-Lounge, and Grunge, but it is music which has diversified and evolved considerably since its beginnings in the mid '80's. | | | Techno is, finally, a thoroughly mediated music, from its continually recombinant musical genres and its constant (re)generation of new categories, labels, and self- definitions, to its circular processes of both resistance and acceptance. | | | Techno music, the term I use as a top-level rubric for an ever-increasing variety of postmodern dance music (Hilker and Behlendorf) is, of course, more varied in its scope than either of the above mentioned descriptions would lead one to believe. |
