This volume explores the ways in which music scenes are not merely physical spaces for the practice of collective musical life but are also inscribed with and enacted through the articulation of cultural memory and emotional geography. The book draws on empirical data collected in cites throughout Australia. In terms of understanding the relationship between music scenes and participants, much of the existing popular music literature tends to avoid one key aspect of scene: its predominant past-tense and memory-based nature. Nascent music scenes may be emergent and on-going but their articulation in the present is often based on past events, ideas and histories. There is a noticeable gap between the literature concerning popular music ethnography and the growing body of work on cultural memory and emotional geography. This book is a study of the conceptual formation and use of music scenes by participants. It is also an investigation of the structures underpinning music scenes more generally.

The large majority of infant pyloromyotomies are quickly successful and have few or no significant continuing effects. The lay author Rev. Fred Vanderbom, argues on the basis of his own personal and others' experience that for a small number of subjects there are ongoing consequences and pleads for more consideration and research to establish the numbers involved and a suitable response. Constitutional primary hyperacidity is proposed as the cause of this condition which is made more severe by an early insensitivity of an immature neonatal gastrin secretion to the negative feed-back between antral acidity and gastrin. Inappropriate repeated overfeeding of the vomiting baby is a contributory factor. The case for hyperacidity as the cause is argued in the light of the evidence largely accumulated in the last 40 years. A plea is made for the judicious use of acid-blocking drugs in the pre-operative period to reduce alkalosis. It is anticipated that such temporary treatment will in many instances produce a lasting cure.
