Gentle into that ‘Dark Knight’
Heath Ledger’s death has brought even greater attention to what was already set to be one the biggest films of the summer. But the added awareness raised a new issue: How would the studio publicize the film and Ledger’s contribution to it without seeming crass?

A real killer play
There’s been grumbling about the timing of Company One’s staging of “Assassins,” Stephen Sondheim’s creepy musical about people who have shot presidents.
The Word
A knock on Wood ... and a hussy daughter
GOSSIP.
As you may have heard, 61-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood recently walked out on his wife of 23 years, took up with 18-year-old Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova, then checked himself into rehab.

‘Tomorrow there’ll be hell to pay’
INTERVIEW.
Though the band may be best known for the song, “Hell,” and their contributions to the short-lived swing revival of the late ’90s, Squirrel Nut Zippers’ music should never have been so easily defined.
Music
Mayer gives Boston the ‘Bizness’
REVIEW.
John Mayer, the Berklee dropout with an entertaining blog and a less critically lauded discography, is completely “Comfortable” with where he is in life. At least, that’s what his show at the Comcast Center on Saturday night suggested.
Music
There’s No Age like the present and the past
PROFILE.
No sooner had the Guvernator enacted the new no cell phone use law while driving in California last week, and we catch Randy Randall with the cell in his ear and one hand on the wheel. That the No Age guitarist is driving through Washington, D.C., makes no difference. The capital also has a ban.
Music
The new face of cool
Retro kids rocking high- top fades, music geek hipsters wearing coke-bottle glasses and urban music industry glitterati in skinny jeans and Manolo Blahniks collectively wait in anticipation at the Highline Ballroom, swaying to DJ Cassidy’s hip-hop set. Cassie twirls her hair.
Music
Laughing all the way across the ‘Bible Belt’
Ha Ha Tonka hails from Springfield, Mo., which is one of the reasons they chose to name their debut album, “Buckle in the Bible Belt,” after the area’s memorable nickname.

Baroque jams: Your new iPod playlist
Ever try to download Mozart’s “Requiem” from iTunes only to have the search come back with 150 versions from different orchestras? When the results include names containing “academy” “Sir” and umlaut-filled German words in their title, you give up and go back to cranking the “Lollipop” remix.
Music
Feelin’ Feist-y
REVIEW.
A bright gold projection on the screen behind the stage showed a tiny sprite being let out of a lovely little lantern, and Leslie Feist herself gracefully galloped out to face an overwhelmingly appreciative crowd at her show Tuesday night.
