This is precisely what I've tried to do with my vlog. I focus on rock and roll, but not just rock and roll but the narrow sub genre of Garage Rock. It's not so much of a community effort but I do post videos that bands and other people send me. The problem that I'm finding is that many people that should be in a natural audience for me aren't all that technologically advanced. I'd say that about half of them don't have broadband yet, and or don't have computers that are modern enough to view my videos. This is a community that is almost proud of being tech illiterate. It's like they'd be selling out to the man if they decided to upgrade their computer or something. I've been trying to convince them that they would be doing the opposite. It's DIY media, and the DYI ethic is strong in the underground rock and roll community so you would think it should be a natural--but it's not, for a lot of them anyway.
