Primarily based on a transnational study of college students' net-radio consumption practices, this book uncovers two types of audiences (radio online or net-only radio audiences) and a three tiered net-radio subculture (conservatives, swingers and radicals), which is determined by users' taste distinctions and how much power they have over their net-radio consumption and production practices. The author contends that net-radio, its synergy with radio and music journalism and youth subcultures is not a trivial, flash in the pan, but an important (and ongoing) social-cultural and global phenomenon.

This is a book about deciding not to die - about the obstinacy of being. And it's a book of craft, in which steadiness of presence generates the illumination that flickers through states darkened by steady crisis. The world is blurred, not broken. And a lyric I comes to rest in the world.

In the 1960s, as gentrification took hold of New York City, Jane Jacobs predicted that the city would become the true player in the global system. Indeed, in the 21st century more meaningful comparisons can be made between cities than between nations and states. Based on case studies of Melbourne, Austin and Berlin, this book is the first in-depth study to combine academic and industry analysis of the music cities phenomenon. Using four distinctly defined algorithms as benchmarks, it interrogates Richard Florida’s creative cities thesis and applies a much-needed synergy of urban sociology and musicology to the concept, mediated by a journalism lens. Building on seminal work by Robert Park, Lewis Mumford and Jane Jacobs, it argues that journalists are the cultural branders and street theorists whose ethnographic approach offers critical insights into the urban sociability of music activity.
