Ted Turner, Rufus Wainwright, Erin Brockovich, and a stray F bomb
Even though pollution functions like Kryptonite for Captain Planet, Atlanta’s dastardly rush-hour exhaust did not stop him from glad-handing eco-celebrities on the green—not red—carpet at his Friday gala at the Georgia Aquarium.
Criminal Records rebounds with local live LP series
When you’re a co-founder of the now globally celebrated Record Store Day, you’re expected to step up your game for Saturday’s sixth annual nerd holiday. Criminal Records owner Eric Levin is doing just that via the first two vinyl releases on his new limited-run, boutique LP series, Live at Criminal Records. Accompanying the new live recordings of in-store sets by up-and-coming Atlanta acts Von Grey and Christ, Lord, fans who buy the LPs in advance will also get into an after-hours Saturday gig when the store closes at 8 p.m. for a VIP show with the two acts, along with Mood Rings. Of planning for his sixth annual Record Store Day, Levin reflects: “It’s astonishing, I didn’t think anyone would care and now it’s become this huge thing.”
