QuoteArtists, musicians, filmmakers, designers can apply for $2,500 to $100,000 in marketing and distribution funding
BitTorrent has announced the Discovery Fund, a grant program for marketing and promotional funding for artists. The company will award up to $100,000 each to up to more than two dozen artists, in a rolling application process. “Over the next year, BitTorrent aims to partner with 25 creators by providing cash grants and global promotional support to build impactful releases and discover new fans,” BitTorrent said in a blog post. “We are looking for artists, musicians, filmmakers, designers and other creators working on uncompromised projects representing a diverse, original perspective seeking world wide distribution. This open, international initiative has a rolling call (so you can apply when your project is ready) and provides $2,500- $100,000 in marketing and distribution funding to use at your discretion.”
The announcement follows the launch earlier this year of BitTorrent Now, which adds a free, ad-supported streaming component to BitTorrent’s direct-to-fan distribution platform, previously called BitTorrent Bundle. BitTorrent offers artists a 70/30 split on ad revenue for its free tier. The company previously updated the platform by allowing artists to set a price for downloads with “paygates” in 2014, in a campaign led by Thom Yorke’s Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes digital release.
“The rules are simple,” writes Straith Schreder, VP of Creative Initiatives at BitTorrent, in a separate blog post about the new fund. “You make something awesome. You own it. We back it, and help you find a global audience for your big idea.”

WOODSTOCK, N.Y. — Bob Dylan tumbled from a Triumph motorcycle on a sunny Friday morning here 50 years ago on July 29, 1966. The banged-up musician holed up in the mountains of upstate New York for months afterward, dramatically altering the rocket ride of his career.
It's the most analyzed motorcycle crash in pop-culture history, but details have been as hard to pin down as the meaning of a Dylan lyric. Biographers, reporters and Dylanologists digging into the '60s period when the singer-songwriter lived in this arts colony with his young family have uncovered sometimes contradictory information.
The sun got in his eyes. The bike slipped on an oily patch. He flew off the bike. He simply tipped over. He broke his back. He got a concussion. That is, unless he didn't really hurt himself. Or maybe the crash was a tall tale.
Dylan has talked about the crash, but often in general terms. "I had been in a motorcycle accident and I'd been hurt, but I recovered," he wrote in his memoir, "Chronicles." The few witnesses have remained tight-lipped.
Ambiguity surrounding an accident that indelibly marked the 25-year-old's life and music has helped it take on near-mythic dimensions.
WHEN SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT, IT'S WRONG
Initial reports were sketchy.
A two-sentence story published four days later in The New York Times under the headline "Dylan Hurt in Cycle Mishap" said he was under a doctor's care. Rumours sprouted over the following months that he was gravely injured, blind or disfigured. Over the years, Dylan has indicated that he broke a vertebra and got a concussion.
But without a police report, there is no official record of the crash.
It's possible Dylan crashed shortly after pulling out of the Woodstock home of his manager, the late Albert Grossman. Howard Sounes writes in "Down the Highway" that Dylan was being followed in a car by his wife, Sara, who took her injured husband back to Grossman's house.
Grossman's wife, Sally, was there and saw Dylan "kind of moaning and groaning" but noticed no obvious signs of injuries, according to Sounes. Sally Grossman declined comment for this article.
A likely spot for the crash is along or near Striebel Road, a winding, hilly ribbon of road running by that house.
SHELTER FROM THE STORM
Dylan was driven about an hour to Middletown to the home of a doctor he knew, Dr. Ed Thaler.
Dylan arrived "very upset," the doctor's widow, Selma Thaler, said in an interview with The Associated Press. "He didn't want to go to the hospital, so we said, 'You can stay here.'"
Dylan stayed in a third-floor bedroom of the Thaler home for about a month, eating dinner with the family and having friends over on Friday nights, including Allen Ginsberg and the musicians who would later become famous as The Band. They showed a movie on the living room wall. She thinks it was the Dylan documentary "Don't Look Back."
Dylan was sweet and quiet, Thaler said, but she can't recall him showing any visible signs of injury. She believes he broke his neck.
BECAUSE THE WORLD'S GONE WRONG
The accident gave Dylan a chance to hit reset and revive himself.
By 1966, Dylan had gone from an up-and-coming folkie to the voice of the '60s generation, and he was uncomfortable with it. Woodstock had become a "nightmare," with moochers at his door and goons breaking in. "Everything was wrong, the world was absurd," he wrote in his memoir.
Some Dylan historians have suggested the motorcycle wreck may have saved his life. He was exhausted from constant touring and, according to some accounts, had been taking large amounts of amphetamines while on the road in 1966.
After the accident, tour dates were put off, and he lay low in Woodstock.
Dylan told a New York Daily News reporter who found him there in May 1967 that he'd been seeing close friends, "poring over books by people you never heard of" and thinking about where he was going.
NOW YOU DON'T TALK SO LOUD
Dylan seemed to go silent after the crash. He would not tour again for years, and his next album, "John Wesley Harding," wasn't released until December 1967.
But he quietly was writing and making music by early 1967. He and the musicians of The Band recorded at Dylan's house, and later at a garishly painted home rented by band members in nearby Saugerties dubbed "Big Pink." Bootleg recordings from this time were eventually released in 1975 as "The Basement Tapes," and then as part of a deluxe box set in 2014. They include some of Dylan's most haunting and enigmatic songs, among them "I Shall Be Released," "Tears of Rage" and "This Wheel's on Fire."
Critics now view this creative period outside the spotlight as a vital step in Dylan's evolution.
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK, BUT YOU CAN'T COME BACK ALL THE WAY
Dylan and his family moved to New York City's Greenwich Village by 1970, leaving Woodstock in his rear-view mirror.
In interviews over the decades, Dylan has offered some details — sun in his eyes, flying off the bike. But he dwells more on how it marked the end of a busy and unsustainable period in his life.
Dylan is now a 75-year-old artist who tours regularly and has put out dozens of albums. The accident is a long-ago footnote in a lengthy career, but there's evidence that Dylan did indeed look back at least once.
He came back to visit Thaler's house about four years ago, she said. He stopped with some of his band members before a show in the area, revisiting the house in which he took shelter that morning in 1966.

One of the early leaders of bluegrass music, Ralph Stanley, has died at age 89. His death was announced by his grandson Nathan Stanley; Stanley's publicist said in a statement that the cause was complications from skin cancer.
Ralph and his older brother Carter started out in the late 1940s as a duo. After Carter died in 1966, Ralph continued with his band the Clinch Mountain Boys and built a fan base fiercely devoted to his straightforward banjo and archaic-type singing known as the "high lonesome" mountain sound.
One of the early leaders of bluegrass music, Ralph Stanley, has died at age 89. His death was announced by his grandson Nathan Stanley; Stanley's publicist said in a statement that the cause was complications from skin cancer.
Ralph and his older brother Carter started out in the late 1940s as a duo. After Carter died in 1966, Ralph continued with his band the Clinch Mountain Boys and built a fan base fiercely devoted to his straightforward banjo and archaic-type singing known as the "high lonesome" mountain sound.
High Lonesome
Stanley's sound came in part from the fact that he often sang in a minor key, while his band played in a happy-sounding major key.
John Wright, who wrote a book on Stanley called Traveling the High Way Home, says that tension between minor and major, plus what he called Stanley's unearthly smokey vocal tone, "gives this old-time mysterious flavor to the singing. The voice sounds like it's coming out of the past, like a ghost or something like that."
Stanley himself told WHYY's Fresh Air in 2002 that he was aware his voice was special, "a gift I think that God's given me, and he means me to use that."
Virginia Roots
Stanley recalled growing up poor on a farm in southwest Virginia, using a stick as a make-believe banjo.
He and his brother Carter started playing professionally on local radio in Bristol, Va., in 1946, calling their show Farm and Fun Time. Trying to compete against more mainstream country music and rock-and-roll, they moved toward a smoother duet style.
After Carter's death, Ralph moved back to the traditional sound. He also drew on his childhood experiences in the Baptist Church and started presenting a capella solo and quartet religious songs on the bluegrass stage, something that wasn't common before.
O, Brother
Ralph Stanley entered the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 1992, but his unearthly tenor catapulted him to much wider fame when, in 2000 at age 73, he was asked to sing the song "O, Death" for the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou.
He told Fresh Air he was surprised by the reaction, but also gratified with the letters from people who said "that sound caused them to change their life, and I ... believe that gift was given to me for that purpose."

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/nhl-expansion-las-vegas-1.3647754
QuoteThe NHL is officially rolling the dice on Las Vegas.
Commissioner Gary Bettman said the league's board of governors has accepted an expansion bid from Las Vegas with the new team to begin play in the 2017-18 season.
He said Wednesday's vote was unanimous.
"We think this is a tremendously exciting opportunity, not just for Las Vegas, but for the league," Bettman said. "This expansion comes at a time when our game is more competitive than ever, ownership is stronger than ever, the player base is more talented than ever and the business, and the future opportunities for the business, are greater than ever."
The board also decided to defer Quebec City's bid, despite the city having a brand new arena as part of its application to become the 31st NHL franchise. Bettman said the fluctuation of the Canadian dollar and the league's geographical imbalance — there are currently 16 teams in the Eastern Conference compared to 14 in the West — were factors that worked against Quebec City's bid.
"There is no doubt as to the passion for NHL hockey in Quebec City, there is no doubt as to the suitability of the Videotron Centre as a home arena for a team, and there is no doubt to the ownership credentials ... of Quebecor, which has been an outstanding partner," Bettman said.
$500-million fee
Joining the word's top hockey league doesn't come cheap — prospective Las Vegas owner Bill Foley will need to pay a US$500-million expansion fee to the NHL, which hasn't added a team since 2000.
Back then, Minnesota and Columbus paid $80 million each to join the league.
As expected, the team will play in the Western Conference. The NHL said no other changes to the league's alignment will be made.
The Las Vegas franchise will begin to populate its roster with an expansion draft prior to the 2017-18 season. Las Vegas will pick one player form each of the other 30 clubs, and those players must include 14 forwards, nine defencemen and three goaltenders.
"We wanted to ensure that the new team had better access to players than any of its expansion predecessors," Bettman said.
The NHL also said Las Vegas will be given the same odds in the 2017 NHL Draft Lottery as the team finishing with the third-fewest points during the 2016-17 regular season.
The Las Vegas bid said it secured more than 14,000 season-ticket deposits for the new team, which will play in T-Mobile Arena, the sparkling new multipurpose building on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. The arena, which seats 17,500 for hockey, was built entirely with private money by MGM Resorts International and Anschutz Entertainment Group, the owners of the Los Angeles Kings.
The Las Vegas area had nearly 2.2 million people in the 2010 census, making it the largest population centre in the U.S. without a major pro sports franchise. Public support for Foley's bid was robust, and the NHL noticed the appeal of being the only major sports show in a town that loves a big event.
Vegas is in the middle of the Mojave Desert, but it has grown as a hockey town over the past 20 years since local youngsters like Jason Zucker, now with the Minnesota Wild, had to practise on one of the three rinks in town.
The IHL's Las Vegas Thunder attracted large crowds in the 1990s when they played at the Thomas and Mack Center, and the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers took the Thunder's place until 2014 while playing at the Orleans Arena.
Foley hasn't said what he will call his new team, but the bid is run by a company named Black Knight Sports and Entertainment, the same name as his financial services company.

Awesome! From the clip above it kinda looked like Dylan was standing around while his band played Free Bird but that's good enough for me. Cool stuff.
I thought the same. I guess the media figured it would draw more clicks if they said Dylan covers freebird. Still cool. Though Bob singing a verse or two would've been even cooler.

All the best buddy. Hope you have a great one. Happy birthday. Budmo!

QuoteYou've seen that guy.
He emerges from some dark corner of the audience, maybe drunk, gawkily shoving his way through the crowd as the audience stands contented, mesmerized by the rock god onstage. He leans forward next to your ear, brutishly disturbing your daydream with a shrill, piercing shout:
"FREE BIRD!"
Eyes roll in the audience. The man's face snarls with wretched delight. He is the only one laughing.
But just before your disgust impels you to jam your elbow into this troll's ribcage, a guitar rings out. Everyone turns to the stage.
Holy hell, Bob Dylan is actually playing "Free Bird."
To the shock of a Berkeley audience, Dylan closed out his set at the Greek Theater last week — which featured covers of some of Frank Sinatra's most famous songs from his newest album "Fallen Angels" — with a take on Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1973 hit "Free Bird."
See a couple clips from the performance below.

I didn't know that people still did that. I also wonder if they all got tickets, and what kind of tickets they got.
Friends of mine did the same. Haven't heard whether they scored tickets or not though.

http://www.thehip.com/news/an-important-message-from-the-band/
QuoteHello friends.
We have some very tough news to share with you today, and we wish it wasn’t so.
A few months ago, in December, Gord Downie was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
Since then, obviously, he’s endured a lot of difficult times, and he has been fighting hard. In privacy along with his family, and through all of this, we’ve been standing by him.
So after 30-some years together as The Tragically Hip, thousands of shows, and hundreds of tours…
We’ve decided to do another one.
This feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord, and for all of us.
What we in The Hip receive, each time we play together, is a connection; with each other; with music and it’s magic; and during the shows, a special connection with all of you, our incredible fans.
So, we’re going to dig deep, and try to make this our best tour yet.
We hope you can come out and join us this summer – details and dates will be coming this week.
And we sincerely thank all of you, for your continued love and support,
Paul, GordD, Johnny, Rob, GordS
