- Last weekend, “The Dark Knight” made history by becoming the film with the largest opening weekend gross ever with $158.4 million. Without a doubt, a large part of that was achieved thanks to the posthumous performance of Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Ledger died of a drug overdose in January 2008 at the age of 28. Because of the nature of Ledger’s death and his untimely demise, there is a good chance that he, like many actors and musicians who passed away in their prime, could achieve cult status. - Getting up to speed

- Today, Austin, Texas, has become the country’s musical mecca for independent and up-and-coming artists.
But 10 years ago, an Austin-based powerpop trio Fastball, with members Tony Scalzo (guitar, vocals), Miles Zuniga (guitar, vocals) and Joey Sheffield (drums), were just trying to get one of the tracks off of their second release “All The Pain Money Can Buy” on the radio. - This is: “Vanessa” by David Norvell

- Even after his death in 2003, listeners continue to be fascinated with the songs of country music legend Johnny Cash. A new record featuring the “Man in Black” and his music is scheduled to be released on Oct. 14. But this record will probably make some Cash fans furious.

- The Foo Fighters at Kemper Arena
- Thursday, July 24, 2008
- It's crazy to imagine that 14 years ago, Dave Grohl, drummer for '90s grunge icons Nirvana, decided to carry on, pick up a guitar and start writing his own alt-rock tunes in the Foo Fighters. It's even crazier to imagine that Grohl's exercise in working out his Nirvana tendencies would turn into Grammy-winning modern rock staples while maintaining unwavering credibility that has gotten them asked to do tribute performances for The Who and sharing the stage with Led Zeppelin's own Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones at Wembley Stadium.
The Foo's stopped in KC to perform at Kemper Arena July 19 and brought a big 120-minute plus rock show to a crowd hungry to be pummeled by the group's buff riffs and relentless energy. - Live at the Movies 'The Dark Knight'

- There are many adjectives that have been used to describe comic-book movies, but unless you’re talking about special effects or sound editing, “award-worthy” isn’t one of them. “The Dark Knight,” however, is probably going to change that.

- Plenty of bars in St. Joe have some common elements. Televisions for people to watch. Patrons with a cig in one hand and a domestic brew in the other. So when Nathan Karr, owner and operator of Foster’s Martini and Wine Bar, opened his non-smoking establishment two years ago with no TVs and pricey martinis, even he wasn’t sure the concept would stick around.
- Dual-sided sound

- If you’re walking past a dormitory on practically any American college campus, there’s a good chance you will hear the song “That Was A Crazy Game Of Poker” from acoustic rock/reggae jam band O.A.R. (Of A Revolution).
