As the current art and music scenes are emerging together with the Internet
age, the Internet has many valuable sources for our topics. Be very careful and always evaluate the reliability of the
information. Often, Internet sites are interesting not only as sources of
'raw data' but as glimpses into the different interests, myth making, and self
promotion that floods the Internet and is often an important aspect of the
creation of discourse on art and music.
