Spent the last couple days watching Saturday Night Fever and its sequel, Staying Alive. Got both DVDs. Fever is still a great movie. Staying Alive, well, let us all just curse Sylvester Stallone, who co-wrote it and directed it. It's a sixth rate Rocky retread thanks to him. Anyway, this is about the music in those movies. Both soundtracks hold up rather well. Fever, of course, is a disco milestone. It's the benchmark of the genre. Alive is really cool, too. Choice cuts: Bee Gees' gorgeous ballad, "Someone Belonging to Someone," Frank Stallone's fist-pumping anthem "Far From Over" and Tommy Faragher's underrated pop-rocker "Look Out for Number One."

Kristy Kruger, Jennifer Leonhardt, Felix Flores, Paul Slavens, Taylor Davis, Becky Middleton and nine other local artists perform Saturday during an all-day festival at Opening Bell Coffeehouse. The event runs from 2 p.m. to midnight. There's a suggested cover charge of $10 per person. It's a benefit for Ms. Kruger's dog, Mojo, who survived a 12 feet fall and has been left with a "complicated fracture. Medical bills have exceeded $4,000," according to the Opening Bell website.

Turns out that most of what I was told late last week about Ozzfest 2008 was true. Not all, but most.

The official word as of three hours ago: Ozzfest is a "one-day stadium spectacular" (as opposed to two days) at Pizza Hut Park on Aug. 9. The main-stage headliners: Metallica, Ozzy (no Black Sabbath reunion ... you thought that would happen as Heaven and Hell tours this summer, too? Hah), Jonathan Davis (of Korn), Hellyeah, Serj Tankian (of System of a Down), Shadows Fall, Apocalyptica (which performed a highly entertaining show at House of Blues last night), In This Moment (who?) and Cavalera Conspiracy.

The latter act is highly notable because the band marks the reuniting of formerly feuding Sepultura co-founders Max and Igor Cavalera, and its Ozzfest set will consist of only Sepultura songs instead of cuts from CC's pummeling recent CD, Inflikted. In addition, Hellyeah drummer Vinnie Paul will participate in a "special all-star tribute" to Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott (enough already with that!).

Tickets will go on sale May 31. No word on price yet, but expect the tariffs to be high ... and attention out-of-towners: book your Frisco-area hotel rooms and rent that car now.
