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.

Monroe Mustang - Monroe Mustang, The Imaginary Band, Regretfully Declines


None June 5th, 2008

In the late Nineties, Norman-based Monroe Mustang released a handful of quiet but polished albums of slow-core shoegazing records "¦ and then seemingly disappeared. The band is back (sort of) with its fifth album' its first since the dawn of the new millennium and an MP3-only release' even if its members are scattered across all corners of the globe, from Texas to Paris.

The baker's dozen tracks follow the Mustang formula of leisurely, languid guitars and purposely paced builds which seem to stroll to nowhere before your ears finally pick up on a melody that has snuck up on you. At that point, indifference should give way to invigorated.

"Fenced In," "Dispersion of Will" and "Vest" are headphone-ready highlights. It all may sound like Dramamine, but who said there's anything wrong with that?
