Various artists — Never Give Up: Celebrating 10 Years of The Postal Service

Few indie bands have had the impact on current music that The Postal Service has. Even fewer have done so with only one album.

Big Worm — Bench All-Stars

Fans of the comedy classic Friday may recognize the name Big Worm, but the Big Worm behind Bench All-Stars is rooted not in South Central L.A., but on the streets of Oklahoma City.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Eureeka — Polysynthetic Fields

It’s always refreshing to hear music that embraces its own eccentricity, yet presents it in an accessible and meek fashion. Eureeka — the Norman-based duo of Jordan Vargas and Devin Wahl — has tapped into this rarified air on its self-released EP, Polysynthetic Fields.

Tom Skinner — Tom Skinner

Sincerity is nearly dead in songwriting. The image of the earnest singer with eyes tightly shut and a crack in his voice as he plunges to emotional depths has become a joke.

'I'm Amazed' by this band


Flick through shots of My Morning Jacket's one-night stand at Brady Theater.

By Matt Carney December 7th, 2011

Last night, OKSee packed up in the car and drove to that magical land of great concert venues and enormous QuikTrips to catch My Morning Jacket's two-hour-plus Brady Theater set. 

The band played 10 of the 11 tracks on its excellent new album, "Circuital," and touched on highlights from just about every one of its other albums. MMJ ditched "Run Thru"'s slow buildup, cutting right into the gnarled bass riff that's the gut of the song, lap-slid their way through "Strangulation" and completely blew the roof off the place with "Holdin' on to Black Metal."

Check out my photos and the setlist:



"Victory Dance"
"Circuital"
"It Beats 4 U"
"First Light"
"I'm Amazed"
"At Dawn"
"Wonderful"
"Outta My System"
"You Wanna Freak Out"
"Off the Record"
"Golden"
"Dondante"
"Movin' Away"
"Smokin' from Shootin'"
"Run Thru" (end part)
"Strangulation"
"Touch Me I'm Going to Scream, Pt. 2"
"Gideon"
ENCORE BREAK
"Wordless Chorus"
"The Day Is Coming"
"Masterplan"
"Holdin' on to Black Metal"
"One Big Holiday"
