Time-out for towers


Commentary

Lee Peoples
Just look up and you’ll notice the proliferation of cellphone towers around Oklahoma City. Many of these towers reach heights of 125 feet or taller. AT&T, only one of many wireless providers, is planning at least 60 applications for new towers or antennas this year alone. A temporary moratorium on new cellphone towers, combined with an examination of the applicable zoning rules, is in order.

VOTD: Crown Jools

Catch two of indie’s biggest players giving live-in studio performances on ‘Later with Jools Holland.’

Wisconsin soft-rockers Bon Iver (whose live show I was lucky enough to catch in Kansas City about two months back) and Canadian chanteuse Feist both played “Later with Jools Holland” last week, and additional videos from those sessions have surfaced, now totaling six in all. 

I share because they’ve released two of this year’s most terrific albums and each has an absolute all-star supporting cast behind their live shows. Watch for Colin Stetson and his big, groaning bass sax behind Justin Vernon (dude smashes on “Perth”) and mom jeans-sportin’ vocal trio Mountain Man  bolstering Feist’s choruses. It’s a good thing those ladies’ voices are better than their haircuts.

My picks are “Perth” and “How Come You Never Go There,” but all six are posted below, for your perusal.
