1 Roundabout March 3, 2020 Next Week Our Next Celebration Of 1 Roundabout March 3, 2020 Next Week Our next Celebration of Service will be March 10 in the IMU Georgian Room. We will hear from clinical neuroscientist and athletic trainer Seisuke Kawata on the frontiers of research at IU on repetitive head impacts in sports. Dr. Kawata is an assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology in the School of Public Health. He also is a faculty member in the neuroscience program. During his undergraduate years at Henderson State University in Arkansas, he worked as an athletic trainer with the NFL Detroit Lions, MLS Sporting Kansas City, ESPN Wide World of Sports, and MLB Atlanta Braves. While earning his Ph.D. at Temple University, he conducted a series of clinical neuroscience studies to study the effects of repetitive head impacts, referred to as sub-concussions. His current work centers on blood biomarkers and the ocular-motor system to evaluate acute and chronic changes from sub-concussive head impacts. His laboratory at Indiana University is currently conducting a wide array of research in both field and laboratory settings in sports and military cohorts, aiming to understand the short- and long-term effects of sub-concussive brain damage and to establish clinical guidelines to prevent chronic brain deficits in athletes and military service members. Rotarians in the News Long-time Rotarian Bob Zaltsberg will be inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in Indianapolis on May 16. Dr. Judy DeMuth, superintendent of Monroe County Community School Corporation, announced her retirement at the end of this school year. Henk Haitjema is recovering from major surgery and will soon be able to have visitors.

Our March 3 Program Nick Blandford, managing director of Secretly Group Sally Gaskill introduced Nick Blandford, managing director at Secretly Group, an independently owned family of music companies. It includes record labels Dead Oceans, Jagjaguwar, and Secretly Canadian, as well as Secretly Publishing and Secretly Distribution. Nick joined the company as the ninth employee in 2003. He is a member of the Bloomington Arts Commission and chairs its Public Art Committee. Secretly Group partners with a diverse roster of artists including Grammy-winner Bon Iver, Jason Molina, Jamila Woods, Mitski, Bright Eyes, Khruangbin, Moses Sumney, Yoko Ono, Whitney, and comedian Tig Notaro. The company currently has 130 employees around the world, with 60 in Bloomington and large offices in New York City, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Amsterdam. The company is a global partner solution for independent musicians, one of only a few in the US. Nick told the story of the growth of Secretly Group since 1996. The company was founded by four students, who met in Collins dorm at IU, including brothers Chris and Ben Swanson. After graduation, they met Darius Van Armen of Jagjaguwar, who was also struggling to run a small music business. They decided to join forces in Bloomington. From 2000 to 2010, the music business was in sharp decline, with many consolidations, as many industry leaders closed or cut back, including Tower Records and Barnes & Noble. First Napster and then iTunes and YouTube changed the way people acquired music. From 2009 to 2014, global music revenue plateaued. In 2015 it began to bounce back with Spotify and Apple Music. Now revenue from streaming music is larger that all revenue before the shift. Secretly was willing to try new things, be “flexible, nimble, and intellectually curious” and “engage with technology,” which enabled the company to make the transition into the new music economy, emerging as a global independent music company. In 2005, Antony & the Johnsons, one of Secretly’s groups, won the UK Mercury Prize. Secretly rushed to catch up with demand for the music and built an office in the UK. In 2008, Bon Iver released “For Emma, Forever Ago,” which won two Grammys and achieved gold status, providing the next opportunity for Secretly to “chase scale” and move finally from a reactive posture of trying to keep up with its artists’ success to a proactive presence that helps its artists reach a global audience. Rotarians asked penetrating questions: 3 • Where does the name “Secretly Canadian” come from? Several of the founders grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, not far from the Canadian border. • Does the company still make vinyl records? Yes, there is still a niche audience. • How do artists’ payments from streaming work? Payouts are on a pro-rata basis. Each time a song is streamed, the artist receives half a cent. It all adds up, with millions and billions of people around the world streaming music on their phones. • What does the artist release marketing look like? The company funds the recording and pays for publicists and online and print ads. Sometimes it sponsors events where the artists play and give interviews. To provide helpful feedback on our speaker, go to this link: https://tinyurl.com/BtownRotarySpkrFdbck Weekly Updates President Earon Davis presided. He thanked greeter Winston Shindell and recognized Bryan Hane, president of Bloomington North Rotary. Jim Shea gave the Pledge and reflection. He invited members to preview a new film on Indiana charter schools and give feedback during a focus group on March 10, immediately following our celebration of service, in the IMU Hoosier Room.

  • Bon Iver (Usa)
    BON IVER (USA) 22, A Million Label: Jagjaguwar Release Date: 30.09.2016 Web: www.boniver.org EPK: irascible.ch/de/releases/bon-iver/22-a-million Bon Iver - the musical project led by Justin Vernon - will release its third studio album «22, A Mil- lion». The album is part love letter; part final resting place of two decades of searching for self- understanding like a religion - and the inner-resolution of maybe never finding that understanding. The album’s 10 poly-fi recordings are a collection of sacred moments: love’s torment and salva- tion, contexts of intense memories, signs that you can pin meaning onto or disregard as coinci- dence. If «Bon Iver, Bon Iver» built a habitat rooted in physical spaces, then «22, A Million» is the letting go of that attachment to a place. To narrow this album down to the next step within an «artistic career» would be to miss a far grander purpose of this music—or any music for that matter—and the cultures of friendship that sustain us in our capacities to even play music. Although «22, A Million» emerges from a swirling context of transformation in Justin’s recent life, it is based on how we have always approached what music can be or do. It is not the perceived power of money and fame that will change the course of events in one’s life, but empathy. Music is a pathway that allows us to listen to our- selves and the people that surround us. Music, even in its most intimate moments, is a pathway between us all.

  • 6 YEARS Written and Directed by Hannah Fidell
    ! 6 YEARS Written and Directed by Hannah Fidell ! Starring Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield 80 minutes, color, U.S.A. Sales Contact: ICM/ Jessica Lacy JLacy@icmpartners.com / (310) 550-4316 SUBMARINE/ Josh Braun josh@submarine.com / (212) 625-1410 Press Contact: BRIGADE / Gerilyn Shur gerilyn@brigademarketing.com / 917-551-5838 SYNOPSIS A young couple in their early 20s, Dan and Melanie, have known each other since childhood. Now their 6-year romantic relationship is put to the test when Dan receives an attractive job offer from the record label with whom he interns, and he must choose between a move forward and a future with Mel. Growth and temptation happen – but will their relationship remain part of their future? Writer/director Hannah Fidell explores the struggles of young love as it begins to face the next steps into adulthood. Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield give warm, genuine performances as Mel and Dan, alongside Lindsay Burdge (star of Fidell’s A TEACHER) as a colleague of Dan’s who entices him in more ways than one. HANNAH FIDELL DISCUSSES 6 YEARS I wrote 6 Years focusing on the relationship of two young adults. Who hasn’t had a first love? And who hasn’t gone through a breakup with said first love? (for those of you who are married to that first person...please ignore…) More than anything though, I modeled Dan and Mel’s world on my group of friends in college. Although, the fighting and the physical violence, that was pure fiction. The script was in great hands with Taissa and Ben.
