I'm hoping next weekend is a big weekend for live streaming. Last year, Lockn' broadcast almost its entire festival through multiple outlets. I'll be looking out for that this week, and hopefully they'll be doing it again. We didn't even find out about it until that Sunday, so I missed most of the acts.
Burning Man will be broadcasting 8/27 (Saturday) beginning at 8:00pm Central. I'm not sure what's going to be on that, but it will be streaming on their YouTube page from Black Rock City.
Atlas Electronic and Sonus Festival are broadcasting all week. Carl Cox of note is tomorrow at 11:00am CDT.
Live Stream Announced but I don't have the schedule. I want to say last year they showed most of the festival, so that would make for a jam ass weekend if so. The link to the stream from the article is here.
The 2017 Lockn’ Festival begins on Thursday at Oak Ridge Farm in Arrington, Virginia and runs through Sunday. If you can’t make it to Lockn’ in person, there’s an option to follow the action from home or wherever you have an internet connection.
Lockn’ organizers have announced a livestream in partnership with Relix and YouTube. The Lockn’ Live webcast will begin on Thursday afternoon at 7 p.m. and will air daily from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. ET for the rest of the weekend. Fans in attendance or watching from home are asked to donate to the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation’s Heal Charlottesville Fund as 100% of donations will go to the fund thanks to the support of Ben & Jerry’s and Airstream. Head here for the Lockn’ livestream. Text “LOCKN” to 444999 to donate any amount you wish. All donations are tax-deductible, and administered by HeadCount.org.
“We’ve been thinking about different ways that we can try and re-direct the energy in the Charlottesville area and do something positive for the community,” says festival co-founder Peter Shapiro. “We wanted to enable anyone anywhere across the globe to experience the music and the great vibes at LOCKN’ and at the same time help support the cause. Ben & Jerry’s, Airstream and YouTube each stepped up quickly so 100% of what we raise will go to the Charlottesville Community Fund and HeadCount. Both organizations do the below the radar work everyday to help the world be a better place, so they were easy organizations to support right now.”
“LOCKN’ has always been about giving back and supporting the local community,” said HeadCount executive director Andy Bernstein, LOCKN’s longtime non-profit partner. “We raised over $200,000 on Participation Row in the last few years, for all the different non-profit organizations involved in the festival. Supporting the Heal Charlottesville Fund is another way for LOCKN’ to support the Charlottesville-area community.”
Widespread Panic, The Avett Brothers, Phil Lesh with Bob Weir and The Terrapin Family Band with Nicki Bluhm, Brandi Carlile, Gov’t Mule, Umphrey’s McGee, The String Cheese Incident, Jim James, Greensky Bluegrass, phil.moe, The Revivalists and John Fogerty are among the acts set to perform at this year’s Lockn’ Festival.

Kinda sad that Spotify doesn't have an option to let me switch to a business account. I'm literally gonna have to cancel my account and restart a new one if I want to. Might be a good thing though. If you guys saw the amount of Camila Cabello streams, you'd laugh me off Inforoo.

So the Music Modernization Act passed the Senate last night by unanimous consent. Sirius XM is the only industry player that opposes it. Most importantly for consumers, it creates a compulsory digital licensing processes that should enable platforms like Spotify to stream every artist, without holdouts. It should also increase royalties paid to artists, but it will depend on where the license rate is set.
It also extends copyright protection on sound recordings from before 1972 retroactively to 1923, and codifies royalty payments to producers.

seems like a good thing for artists. do you foresee any impact on consumers? wondering if we'll see rates increase for streaming services?

I think it’s good for consumers. The fact that a compulsory rate exists doesn’t mean platforms are going to have to pay it. They can still negotiate with labels directly and get lower royalties in exchange for promotion or company equity. The compulsory rate will only come into play if the label refuses to negotiate, or it’s an orphan recording and the platform doesn’t know who to negotiate with. So basically, it means no more holdouts. There’s already a system like this in place for physical media. If I want to cover a song by Jim James on my next record, I can negotiate with him directly for a license (usually 5 or 6 cents a record) or just go straight to the Harry Fox Agency and get a compulsory license for 9 cents. Under this system, you’re still negotiating directly with the artist 95% of the time, and you generally only do a compulsory license if you can’t find the rights holder.
I also think the fact that the streaming platforms were all on board with this is another good sign they don’t anticipate having to raise prices significantly.
The piece that is really good for artists is the extended length of copyrights. Now copyrights will last 95 years, which is kinda insane to me.

anybody else really hate the new spotify UI ?
like, there isn't a permanent search bar but they make you click on a button to get it to pop up. it's a simple thing but really annoying and a terrible choice user experience, IMO

Oh no....I haven't tried Spotify yet and some of these comments are scary.
I'm all for ways to revert back when a new update comes out (I still miss the coverflow feature of old iTunes and yes I still use iTunes, mostly for podcasts now but still to organize my music files) but companies tend to eventually find ways to end that and then you're stuck with whatever's new. Going to have to check this out.

I still use old.reddit.com on my phone 🤷♂️
Try using 3rd party apps. I used to use baconreader and been using Boost for a while. Pretty customizable which makes things better.
