Tags: Clip Of Da Week

This is the first installment of Clip Of Da Week. This section of our website is easy to grasp. Each week we will air a new online video clip that has grabbed our attention. Film genres centre around our magazines core ingredients; surf, skate, music, art, culture, photography and music. To get the ball rolling we're starting with, Off Book: The Evolution of Music Online.

Here are a few short words about what the vid's all about:

"As the 90s came to a close, the business of music began to change profoundly. New technology allowed artists to record and produce their own music and music videos, and the internet became a free-for-all distribution platform for musicians to promote themselves to audiences across the world. The result was an influx of artists onto the cultural scene, and audiences were left wondering how to sort through them all. In this episode we discuss these massive changes, and reveal how music blogs and websites have arisen as the new arbiters of quality."
