How does one recognize Bob Dylan for his prolific music career that has endured for more than 50 years? Certainly Dylan has received his share of accolades, but the people at ClickHole (a website owned and operated by The Onion) have decided Dylan needs a good night's sleep. As such, the site has launched a GoFundMe campaign to purchase Dylan one of those Sleep Number adjustable beds at a cost of $1,300. As of the time of this writing, the campaign has already reached the halfway mark of its fundraising goal. (ClickHole)

One of the party attendees got some of the performance on video, below. (Rolling Stone)

For Twin Cities quartet Hippo Campus, things have changed dramatically for them since they wrote the songs on their debut EP, Bashful Creatures. They’ve toured the country and the U.K. opening for bands like the Mowgli’s, Motion City Soundtrack, and Walk the Moon, and they’re just coming down from playing a high-profile set at Lollapalooza. So what’s next? As the group told The Current's Jade on Monday, they’ve already put the finished touches on a new EP, South, and have debuted the eponymous first single from the forthcoming release.

Time was when Major League Baseball players walked up to the plate to the applause of the crowd, to the strains of a stadium organ or to one of a few singles within reach of the stadium DJ. No more. Now, the players themselves select their own "walk-up music," accessible at the flick of a dedicated sound person's fingers. Mike Castellani is the sound man at Citi Field, home of the National League's New York Mets. Castellani recently gave an insider's look at his widely heard but seldom seen profession. (New York Times)

And just as the right walk-up music can help psych up a ballplayer hoping for a solid hit to overcome a one-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth inning, the right music selection may also motivate surgeons to perform better at the operating table.

After battling addiction, Eminem says, "I started running. It gave me a natural endorphin high, but it also helped me sleep, so it was perfect. It's easy to understand how people replace addiction with exercise. One addiction for another but one that's good for them." But his obsessive approach to running led to overuse injuries; fortunately, Eminem found a new cross-training regimen through the "Insanity" workout DVDs by Shaun T. "I need someone on the TV yelling to motivate me," Eminem says. "Besides, some of this [stuff] is entertaining." (Men's Journal)

In mid-July, Don Henley announced his first solo LP in 15 years, Cass County, will be released on Sept. 25. Henley explains the album is named for Cass County, Texas, but the title may catch Minnesotans' attention, given there's a Minnesota county of the same name (of which Walker, Minn., is the county seat). But further articulating the album Cass County's non-assocation with Minnesota is Henley's five-week October tour in support of the album; the tour does not stop in Minnesota. (Rolling Stone)
