• Idolatry: Von Smith advances, David Cook goes platinum

  While you were sitting on the couch with your hand in a bag of donuts and a bottle of Ranch wedged in your double-chin, someone at MTV was actually hard at work live blogging the show you were both watching. Said live-blogger writes: 8:22 pm - "Backstage at the Kodak Theater, Von Smith is preparing for his performance." Which means he's getting ready to unhinge his jaw and scream like a banshee. Can't wait! 8:22 pm - Stephen Fowler is singing a hard Stevie Wonder song well. Jorge Garcia is doi

• Q&A: Raphael Saadiq (playing tonight in KC)

  By BRIAN BARR Raphael Saadiq just wasn't made for these times. Then again, maybe he was. Like Erykah Badu, the former Tony! Toni! Tone! frontman, who is playing tonight at the VooDoo Lounge, is an analog guy in a digital world. But his old-school way of thinking has lead him to successful collaborations with Q-Tip, Mary J. Blige, The Roots, Bilal, and countless others who have needed a producer to give their music a little more "retro" feeling. Last year, he released The Way I See It, a set of

• Paseo poets: Watch out, world

  This past Friday night, students from the Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts put on a show that the whole town should have seen. That would have laid to rest criticisms that the Kansas City, Missouri, School District is beyond hope. In fact, the night made me impatient to see these kids get out into the world and start making their voices heard beyond a high school auditorium -- even if it was filled to capacity.    Anchoring the night was a house band with Leonard Tann on

• Incoming: Stevie Wonder to Starlight

  It's just been announced that Stevie Wonder is coming to the Starlight Theatre on June 26. Starlight and Live Nation are describing it as the biggest concert in the theater's history. (They even held a press conference this afternoon to announce the news. That's how big this is.) Wonder recently released a live DVD titled Live at Last: A Wonder Summer's Night.

• Nas and Damian Marley at the Beaumont Club

  Everyone just needs to smoke a little more weed.  This was my conclusion once Damian Marley took the stage last night at the Beaumont Club with his incredible band, two military-green-clad backup singers and a guy who tirelessly waved a red, gold and green Rastafarian flag at center stage. Though there's no smoking allowed anywhere inside (not owner Bill Nigro's preference, either), fragrant smoke signals went up all over the venue. Instantly, it felt just like the Smokin' Grooves shows

  BY ROBERT FOLSOM The tickets said "8pm," but they should have said "Sunset." ("When it's dark enough for the stage lights and video screens" wouldn't have fit on a ticket.) Eager Stevie Wonder fans had to fan themselves in Friday's heat and humidity while waiting for the pop music legend to come on at Starlight Theatre.
