Changing Faces of Music

For my second project I'll be exploring something called "Fancorps". In essence, it's an online community devoted to helping spread the word about bands, concerts, cds, and promotional events across the country. In this community you may join the "street team", as it is termed, and begin posting online advertisements for any number of musical groups. Sometimes the advertisements are pre-made for you to post up, and other times they come out in your own words.

At the moment I plan to be an outside observer of this community and examine the interactions of the highly dedicated music aficionados. I'd like to know what drives them to move beyond simply listening to their favorite band to becoming a promoter. Since I myself don't have this urge as others do, I believe my participation would be biased by my opinions, and thus observing through others will better help me to draw my conclusions.
