Two videos from the . . .

. . . Granada Theater last night. MGMT were the reason we went and we were not disappointed. I would rather see them in a smaller venue. The mics were hot for a few of the songs, and the lead singer’s voice was slightly hoarse. Also, they did not play “Youth” and “The Kids”, which […]

a REAL Laptop Deathmatch?

Earlier this evening there was another Laptop Deathmatch, this time at Sloppyworld. While eating with friends next door at Meridian Room, a stimulating discussion was proposed by me: “What if they had a REAL Laptop Deathmatch?” Just like giving up your car in a 1950s drag race, the loser would have to sacrifice his laptop, […]

Interview w. EPHB and XMAS show announcement

Trying to conjure up notable bands (non-country) from the Norman/Oklahoma City area is difficult, if not arduous.
