Today's Events: 4/22/11 April 22, the day that the Communist Pravda is published in St. Petersburg, the first televised coverage of the McCarthy Hearings (1954), the first human eye transplant (1969), the first Earth Day (1970), when Elian Gonzalez returns to Cuba (2000), the births of Vladimir Nabokov (1899), Charles Mingus (1922), Jack Nicholson (1937), and John Waters (1946), and the deaths of Kathe Kollwitz (1945), Cesar Chavez (1993) and Richard Nixon (1994). Heavy stuff…TGIF: Today's Events: 4/16/11 April 16, when Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly an airplane across the English Channel (1912), when Dr. Albert Hofmann discovered LSD (1943), when Walter Cronkite took lead over the CBS Evening News (1962), when MLK Jr. wrote his ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’ (1963), the Virginia Tech massacre (2007), Charlie Chaplin’s birth (1889), and Alexis de Tocqueville’s death (1859). Tough to top, but here goes: Skanking Imminent at Community Records' Annual Block Party by Michael Cohn-Geltner Community Records, the record label that will host tomorrow's annual Block Party outside the Big Top, have an upfront and transparent approach to music. They offer a dollar-by-dollar breakdown of where the buyer’s money goes. The label gets a 15% cut that helps them break even, while 3% plus 30 cents goes to PayPal. The artists receive the rest of the money. This kind of operation, run of the apartment of owners Greg and D-Ray, is reminiscent of a more lenient Touch and Go. Steve Albini might even approve.
