New Zoo revue

As the bitter battle over management of the Zoo Amphitheatre played out in public last summer, Oklahoma City music fans may have worried whether the outdoor venue at 2011 N.E. 50th would be open for business this summer.

Music always has been in Howard Pollack’s blood — maybe not onstage, but definitely behind the scenes.

Music Made Me: Laura Leighe

Boyz II Men, II (1994)
I believe this was the first CD that I bought with my own allowance at Duncan’s local music store. It’s another really fun, soulful album — vocally, harmonically, musically outstanding. I remember lying on my bedroom floor and studying the lyrics, mesmerized for hours. I loved the singles, but my favorites were the opening track, “Thank You,” and the last track, their gorgeous, soul-grabbing rendition of The Beatles’ “Yesterday.” I was just learning about harmony at the time, and loved listening to their rich, thick, beautiful sound.

The Coke Dares - Feelin' Up


None July 17th, 2008

Essay

The band's name sounds like a booth game at the Hi-Lo Club, and the music on "Feelin' Up" could easily be the jagged, broken soundtrack.

The 33-track collection of absurdly short songs are performed by a trio of Indianans culled from the ranks of Magnolia Electric Co. and Impossible Shapes. The songs collectively waste only 23 minutes of your time and are fast and stupid "¦ and kind of fun.

Most of the cuts, like "Blind 17," "Nazi Rock" and "Rockin' Dave" are ragged punk bashers, while others like "My Car Is a Multi-Track Recording Studio" are purposely bizarre and wonderfully strange.

The songs are horribly recorded and sound like something made with a three-stringed guitar, a stolen microphone and an overdriven Crate amplifier in a Bethany basement by a bunch of knife-wielding vagrants "¦ which is awesome.

This might be a great album, a total disaster or both. I'll let the The Coke Dares' two-second song sum up this review: "Fuck You I Quit."
