et’s have a talk about the Flaming Lips. Ten years ago, the Lips were in between releasing 2002’s beloved “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” and 2006’s charming “At War with the Mystics.” I imagine this was a slightly more simple time for the then quartet. National attention for the group was building to an all-time high after a highly publicized tour as Beck’s backing band. In 2004, a friend handed me a burned copy of the “Yoshimi” album, and I was a fan before I knew it. Here was this band of misfits from my neck of the woods who were content with being smothered in fake blood singing songs about life and death. Almost exactly a decade ago to the day, I was sitting on the living room couch watching the Lips perform on “Austin City Limits.” My parents weren’t too impressed. It could have been the sloppy Black Sabbath “War Pigs” cover or the fuzzy animal costumes. Regardless, I was the one who was hooked. After all, the Lips have always been sort of a young persons’ band anyway. Note the rebellious, LOUD early years and the more recent Miley Cyrus adventures. To this day, I remain a fan and sincerely love two Lips albums like extended family members. I know all the lyrics and even blew out my car’s sound system listening to “A Spoonful Weighs a Ton” at full volume. Sorry again, Dad. It’s a lot safer to put your appreciation into albums. They never change, don’t ever disappoint and are always there

when you need them. But the Lips have changed drastically over the past 10 years. Technology has changed too and frontman Wayne Coyne hasn’t shied away from sharing his eccentric lifestyle via Twitter and Instagram. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. The Lips have also upped their release output to a staggering amount. What was once a few years between albums has been transformed into at times a flurry of monthly bite-sized releases. Many recordings vary in quality and weirdness. Maybe the world might not be ready for a 24hour song let alone a 6-hour one. I think fans are restless and ready for more proper albums. Who couldn’t want another potential “Soft Bulletin” to treasure? I must say though, this new “Fwends” album has just as much as heart as any previous release. It’s pretty remarkable to have roughly a dozen national artists all agree to a tribute album that benefits an Oklahoma Citybased charity. And surely if the film “Across the Universe” gets to exist, so can “With A Little Help From My Fwends.” A big thanks to Gene Triplett for pinning down Coyne for an interview and picking his brain about Miley, the Beatles and more. It’s a colorful look into Wayne’s World, whose orbit doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.

A happy tenth birthday to ‘Aha Shake Heartbreak’

W
hen asked who the most famous rock band from Oklahoma is, most folks I know reflexively answer with the Flaming Lips. I think that’s almost right. Here, the Lips are local celebrities and though they’ve got dedicated fanatics across the world too, they don’t book arenas-only tours and they’ve only ever had one record ever go gold domestically, 2002’s “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.” Such measurables are generally indicators of worldwide fame and along those, the country boys of Kings of Leon have done made themselves good. Very good, actually. “Only by the Night”’s sold just about two million copies since its 2008 release and cracked the top five on the US Billboard 200 chart that year, a rare feat for a rock album in this economy. Somewhere
along the line they also made the jump from afternoon festival set to headliner, from big club to arena, an advancement that coincided with Caleb Followill’s decision to sing the band’s songs as opposed to frantically spitting, shaking, gurgling and occasionally yodeling them. Revisiting the band’s second record “Aha Shake Heartbreak,” which turns ten years old in just a few days, I wish he hadn’t done that. “Aha Shake Heartbreak” is the last Kings of Leon record worth listening all the way through. It’s dumb, loose, rollicking and gross, an “Exile on Main Street” with far lower stakes, and serves as a reminder of the fun band they left behind to play knockoff U2 songs for arenas. It sounds the way a band of repressed brothers from Tennessee and rural Oklahoma who grew up on 38 Special oughta sound and in the midaughts they stood out among radio alternative-rock for their simplicity and southern charm. There’s a guitar riff on every song and half of them are memorable, an impressive batting average. Revisiting it last week, I’d forgotten about the weird lounge/soft-rock sections tacked on to the back end of “Slow Night, So Long” and the middle of “Soft.” Like the synthesizer that introduces and closes out “Milk,” they’re WTF moments that keep things light and entertaining, a necessity when subtlety
in songwriting — okay, hell, songwriting in general— isn’t your strong suit. Listening to “Aha Shake Heartbreak” more than anything makes me miss Caleb Followill’s manic street preacher charisma, which has been steadily strained out into a sheeny, pretty frontman energy over the years, landing somewhere between Chris Martin’s milquetoast cooing and Scott Stapp’s bigger, full-body bravado. There was somehow both a sense of big-tent Pentecostal revival and rural teenage revolt in him that let him get away with groaning lines like “taper jean girl with a motel face.” It takes a great talent to prop up that kind of nonsense and he had it. Kings of Leon were once relatable to me in a way that The Strokes weren’t. I was in high school and not especially cool when I first bought a copy of it, and though I’d eventually come to find the record’s attitude toward women and lack of subtlety to be pretty repugnant, and though the Leons’ ascent to fame would eventually come in exchange for their originality, “Aha Shake Heartbreak” holds up as the finest, most fun thing they’ve ever done. I think it’s safe to say that they’re never gonna recapture the manic, grinning energy of “The Bucket” again now that they’re grown men and not shameless teenagers, but “Aha Shake Heartbreak” will always be there for those of us who want to revisit the air guitar playing and giddy nonsense of our youth.

weet enough to your childhood hero, and you could earn a face-to-face encounter. At least it worked for Appable Founder Kelly Tran when she met her icon at a tech event. “Growing up, my childhood tech hero was Bill Gates,” she said. “I tweeted enough to earn a spot to meet him and his wife Melinda Gates. Then two days later, I had the opportunity to meet the United States' Chief Technology Officer and took a selfie with her.” Tran has had her fair share of unique opportunities. She’ll be headed to Belgium in November for a creativity forum representing Oklahoma. While in college she was given a scholarship to work with one of the largest technology conferences in the world called Dreamforce. To put it in perspective, this year’s keynote speakers were Hillary Clinton, Al Gore and Arianna Huffington to name a few. Tran creates apps with her company Appable. It’s a labor of love that started more than two years ago. Vietnam is her birthplace, but Norman became home in 2004. It’s where she chooses to stay and grow her company.

Although Appable is based in Norman, the plan is to be in the mecca of tech in Silicon Valley. “We have an opportunity to be mentored by
the best minds of Silicon Valley and grow our company there,” Tran said. “It's so satisfying to see an Oklahoma start up driving innovations and impacts in the country's biggest Tech hub.” When she's not hanging out at All About Cha, Lee's Sandwiches or

elcome to the latest edition of our collaboration with Drink & Draw, the event that invites doodlers of all skill levels to gather on a weekly basis in Oklahoma City. In case you’re new to the party, here’s the rundown. Every Thursday night from 8 to 11, Drink & Draw is hosted at any of three locations in the metro. On the third and fourth Thursday of the month, the event is held at Tree & Leaf Clothing. And that’s where you’ll encounter the Drink & Draw Challenge. A random theme is selected, you’re kindly requested to draw on specially designed Drink & Draw paper and then the results are published once a month in LOOKatOKC. Our theme this month was the Thunder’s mascot Rumble clipping his toenails at the Taj Mahal. It’s been a pleasure to see new faces join the festivities, and I hope to see more. The intentions of the event are more than simple. It’s an excuse to show off the talented artists in our city and invite anyone with a hint of artistic aspiration to join the fun. Again, Drink & Draw is an invitation to an open dialogue in the art community. One story wouldn’t do this event justice. Instead we are making this a monthly celebration of all things awesome. Pens, pencils and markers of all shapes and sizes are welcome. It’s just another reason to LOOKatOKC. The proof is sitting right in front of you. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

FANSWELL.FM
Turning living rooms into listening rooms

F
ans of folk music likely are familiar with the concept of the “listening room” — a concert with the distractions stripped away. Not a bar, in a lot of cases, and not necessarily even a venue, the listening room aims to place an artist in the spotlight. People are there first and foremost to hear music and support the artist, and the artist is there to intimately connect with those fans. Independent bands in any genre, though, have suffered greatly at the hands of the widely documented decline of the music industry, making little money of record sales and often surviving only with rigorous touring of small rooms across the country. And often, notably in Oklahoma, where local music has exploded into a constant commodity rather than a niche market, acts that depend on nightly club paychecks are finding it difficult to fill a room with so many options on the table for casual fans on any given night. Enter Graham Colton, an Oklahoma City musician whose tour CV includes dates with Counting Crows, Kelly Clarkson and countless other big names in pop music. But that was then, and this is now. After parting ways with his major label a few years back, Colton took a new sonic path and cut his teeth as an independent artist — club dates, of course, but also house concerts and one-off private shows; all manner of experimental touring. And thus Fanswell.fm was born. The website was co-founded by Colton and business partner Jon Cooper, an Oklahoman now residing in Los Angeles. It was launched by Colton, Cooper, Eric Hargett, Matt Rosenzweig and Dustin Warren. Fanswell.fm is designed to connect artists — those hoping to think outside the concert promoter box and fill tour dates in other ways — with fans
Page 10

who can make that happen. “It’s hard to say if the idea began with the challenge that I was facing with touring or if it began with the inspiration from playing more of these living-room types of shows, these nontraditional shows that are so magical,” Colton said. “When fans really put themselves into creating an environment for you to walk into and play, you just feel that love, you know? They invite their friends, and you’re in it with them, you’re collaborating.”
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Fanswell.fm is targeted to artists searching for assistance with filling entire tours or just specific dates on a tour route where a typical club or bar show isn’t feasible. Artists can register on the site and post locations they’d like to play, and their fans can register as hosts and facilitate those tour dates in any number of ways: DIY booking in venues, hosting house concerts or, as Colton says, really anything is possible. “I didn’t want to build another houseconcerts. com,” Colton said, referring to an existing website that acts as a registry of recurring house concert hosts across the country. “I was more interested in what could happen if an artist has a tool to put himself out there and say, ‘Here’s where I’m going to be, and here’s where I’d like to be, and I need you to make that happen.’ That doesn’t say ‘house concert tour’ to me immediately, just that I want to play nontraditional shows. It could be backyards or offices or art galleries, or the middle of a park somewhere. It could be anything.” Colton acknowledges the challenges of automating a process that is often donation-based, a “pass the hat” sort of scenario. “We’re still learning every day. My partner and I did a tremendous amount of user discovery, talked
to managers, agents and three or four hundred artists,” Colton said. “Half of them said they like to get a guarantee, and the other half said, ‘No, I don’t need that.’ Some said they wanted to just take donations, and others said they require a certain amount of ticket sales. We built a platform to accommodate all of those types.”
GUIDED BY EXPERIENCE
Colton’s touring history and personal experience also heavily guided his decisions along the way, and he notes that everyone affiliated with Fanswell is either a musician or has worked in the industry in some way. “We don’t make money if artists don’t make money,” Colton said. “Every business decision I make for the site is from the artist’s perspective, because that’s all I know. All artists, whether they’re my friends or much bigger than my level: We’re all in the same boat. Touring is just getting harder and harder, but it’s also more exciting, because there are so many more creative ways to put yourself out there.” As more artists register for the site and communicate with fans about the Fanswell process, Colton said the site’s database is growing organically. And with every artist who understands and trusts Fanswell.fm, more hosts and other artists will follow, he says. “Fans want more from their music. They want more connection with artists. They want more transparency. They want the B-sides,” Colton said. “We’re in an era where music fans want and expect more, and I thought there had to be a better way to put these kinds of performances in the hands of my biggest supporters. When you have that kind of relationship with your fans and friends, it’s amazing what can happen.” — Becky Carman, entertainment writer

SONDRE LERCHE, ‘PLEASE’
album review
L
et it be known: if Norwegian pop genius Sondre Lerche's new album “Please” is your first foray into the artist’s body of work, you have been missing out. Lerche has a knack not only as a wordsmith, twisting melodies around clever lyrics, but as a truly talented guitar player, pounding out gorgeous acoustic numbers and gritting electric ripping with effortless ease. “Please” finds Lerche wearing his heart on his sleeve, letting it all hang out as a vagabond who has it all together in the messiest way possible. “Bad Law,” the first track and lead single shows off Lerche's chops almost immediately. It's this kind of honesty that's rarely touched on by some songwriters. Rather than lamenting love, we get the picture of a guy whose night was stopped short, at the end of his rope. “Crickets” is wonderfully playful, it's devil-may-care attitude brazenly bolstered for the world to see. “At Times We Live Alone” sees Lerche way down low, mixing a sort of 1920s drunken saunter down a lonely street with a failed love that absolutely must be won back. Lerche endearingly let's his voice go here, all pretense of wanting to save face thrown nonchalantly out the window, making the song feel real in its stupor and beautiful collapse. “Sentimentalist” is a real treat, synthesizer experimentation rampant in a way that helps rather than hinders, letting the listener drift on waves of shoegaze-like guitars. “Lucky Guy” is reflective in a bitter and sad way — Lerche truly lets sadness get the better of him. “I am such a lucky guy to have meant the world to you/held on to you almost held my own.” There is an emotion anyone who has ever lost love has felt. It’s artists like Sondre Lerche who take things like pop music, give it their own personal signature, yet somehow make it relatable even on the first listen. Most songwriters can lament love lost, but no one can do it quite like him. Something about Lerche makes it personal. It is a rare gift we are lucky to share with him. — Kellen McGugan, entertainment writer

PERFUME GENIUS, ‘TOO BRIGHT’
ide your kids and hide your wife; Mike Hadreas is shining too bright. “Don’t you know your queen?” asks Hadreas while leering in the surreal music video for “Queen,” the lead single off his third full-length album. The song’s lyrics repurpose homophobic fears, wearing them as armor and culminating in arguably the greatest line of this year: “No family is safe, when I sashay.” Hadreas’ Perfume Genius project is often centered on his classical piano playing and extremely confessional lyrics. But for “Too Bright” he recruited Adrian Utley of Portishead to add an extra, sinister layer to his modus operandi. Utley’s bass rattles stomachs on “My Body” as Hadreas uncomfortably compares his body to a rotted peach and gutted pig. It’s a stark counterpoint to the heavenly heights he reaches on “Fool” during a mid-song ambient break where Hadreas wordlessly howls over a beat-less synth swell. It’s a brief shimmer of release before the song snaps back into focus, further cemented in the album’s last half. “Grid” kicks off the B-side with Hadreas repeating the lyrics from album opener “I Decline,” but with a different perspective. Now disenchanted with the cruel world surrounding him, he no longer believes in the idea of angels watching out for him or anyone. Hadreas consistently uses his lyrics as a pre-emptive strike to criticism, spilling out his strengths and weaknesses for all to see. On the album’s closing track, Hadreas has but one demand for his confessions: “I need you to listen.” “Too Bright” is a short album. It barely passes the half-hour mark, but every song is thoughtfully sequenced and extremely necessary. Its zeniths reach through the clouds while its nadirs penetrate the subterranean. “Too Bright” is a fully realized mission statement that will easily become Perfume Genius’ defining album. The answer to Hadreas’ question in “Queen” becomes readily apparent by the end of the album. Long live the “Queen.” — Beau Blackstock, entertainment writer

FLYING LOTUS, ‘YOU’RE DEAD’
album review
T
he afterlife is a very jazzy place, according to Flying Lotus’ Stephen Ellison. If the exclamatory album title isn’t enough of an indication, his fifth album explores what happens after we die. The electronic beat producer intended to create a full band jazz album, but instead opted to explore the grim moments that occur after our last breath. It’s not exactly clear when the death part of the album begins. I would have thought the first track, except the first five tracks are an explosive medley of lively jazz fury echoing the opening onslaught of Flying Lotus’ 2010 landmark LP “Cosmogramma.” The intro peaks with “Never Catch Me,” when a quick-tongued Kendrick Lamar verbally explains the album’s theme. It’s a full-on jazz whirlwind that is a far cry from the more subdued sounds of Flying Lotus’ previous album, “Until the Quiet Comes,” but it doesn’t last long. “Dead Man’s Tetris,” featuring Snoop Dogg, is a sharp turn from the album’s beginnings and must be the part of the album when the actual death comes into play. Because what follows for the remaining 13 tracks is a multitude of short jazz bursts that never seem to fully materialize into anything resembling a great song. Every Flying Lotus album should be experienced front to back, but even his older albums had a few three- to four-minute tracks worthy of repeat listens. The back end of “You’re Dead!” is simply a collage of one- to two-minute jams that are too committed to the afterlife concept, making it tough to pick standouts. At times it still sounds like Flying Lotus went ahead and made the jazz album he intended. As much as an album tackling the afterlife intrigued me, the end result doesn’t sound as interesting. The first five songs showed so much promise that I think this album needed a resuscitation to stack up to Flying Lotus’ previous masterpieces. — Beau Blackstock, entertainment writer

DEERPEOPLE
Crazy live shows are fun for DEERPEOPLE

Stillwater-turned-Oklahoma City psych-folk act DEERPEOPLE — Brennan Barnes, Jordan Bayhylle, Alex Larrea, Kendall Looney, Derek Moore and Julian Shen — captures crowds with infectious energy and is known for being just a little bit off the rails. I spoke with singer and keyboard player Barnes about the history of the band, now five years old, and plans for a future release. Q: Tell me a little bit about the birth of DEERPEOPLE. I think people tend to credit a lot of what comes out of Stillwater to Stillwater not having anything to do. Brennan Barnes: When we came about, Kunek (now Other Lives) had just moved on, and Colourmusic was kind of on a hiatus. Mayola wasn’t playing much. Those were the only three Stillwater bands anyway. It wasn’t that there’s nothing to do — you can get drunk anywhere — but as far as music goes, there wasn’t any thought like, “Oh, there’s something cool happening here, so we should start a band.” I was in a band in high school that was really crappy, and I hadn’t written music in years, but I sat
Page 14

down and wrote 10 songs in a week and a half. Jordan and I started playing together, and he knew Julian and Derek, because they’re also from Stillwater. I went to high school with Kendall and Alex in Dallas. It all worked out. Q: You’ve played recently in some other projects. Is DEERPEOPLE still your primary band? Barnes: Yeah, definitely. I can’t really speak for everyone, but I think DEERPEOPLE is everyone’s primary project. I did recently write some songs for a project tentatively called “King Latifah,” though. Q: You guys have a reputation for your live shows being a little bit crazy. Is that something that you feel like you have to live up to now that people expect it? Barnes: It’s actually the opposite of that. For instance, we played last week for a taping for this blog, and when we started playing, everyone was sitting down. It was a little bizarre. I want people up in our faces. We have the most fun when Alex has to push his back against the crowd or they’ll be all over our stuff. That’s the most fun I can
have, when people are all up on us. As far as jumping around and throwing stuff, I don’t even really think about it. Q: A few weeks ago, you said you’d just finalized art on a record. Do you have a release date planned? Barnes: Not really; we’re looking at the first of the year. We’re short on cash, and we’ve always been against doing a Kickstarter or something like that. We don’t want to rely on other people. But everything’s ready to go; we just need the money to press it. The title of the new record is “There’s Still Time for Us to Die.” It’s supposed to be funny, but I don’t know if it’s funny anymore. Now it’s just an ominous thing, looming over us. Q: Before you released “Explorgasm,” you did an interview where you said you liked how “raw” and “reckless” it was compared to your first release. Where in the trajectory are you now? Barnes: For this record, even the songs themselves are an even mix of both styles. The first EP came out, and it was clean, and it was pretty and perfect. That bothered me ... a lot. I didn’t have any formal experience in the studio, and I felt like a lot of ideas wouldn’t have worked. On “Explorgasm,” we did the exact opposite and just did it kind of raw and gross. I feel like we went off the deep end that way. So this new record is a healthy mix of both of those things. — By Becky Carmen, entertainment writer

CARIBOU, ‘OUR LOVE’
O
ntario’s Dan Snaith, who has performed as Caribou for the better part of a decade, has succeeded in ensnaring senses on a different plane of reality with each of his releases. On 2010’s “Swim,” Snaith started a party with the way he approached rhythm and dance music to create one of the best records of his career. “Our Love” finds Snaith digging deeper, toying with the idea of finally achieving the love you yearn for, grooving and moving through a galaxy of your dreams with a record that’s not only expressive but poignant and addicting. “Can’t Do Without You” immediately grapples with the listener’s heartstrings, the repetitive churning lifting the song through the stratosphere, but carefully so as not to alarm you. Comfort is bursting from every corner of this record. Title track “Our Love” bops and bobs along in a lucid kind of happiness that’s so warm-sounding, it’s hard to believe this kind of affection could come from electronic music. Perhaps that’s the point; as machinery is
LOOKATOKC.COM
used as a type of servant to help the human race in making life easier, “Our Love” could be compared to a robot finding the meaning of love. Just as the song makes you comfortable, it morphs into a heartwrenching ’90s house number, glistening at every edge. “Dive” slows the pace but in a way that feels so fluid it’s hard to argue with where the song takes you. “Julia Brightly” moves in a hypnotic wave, drawing you in and enticing you further with beautiful, sweeping samples, while “Mars” has some of the most interesting and fun uses of the flute since Destroyer’s “Kaputt.” “Our Love” succeeds in a way that makes you like things you may have been afraid to try before. It’s dance in a way dance hasn’t been done before, so much so that it could be considered transcendent at times. Caribou has done what few bands have managed to do lately, which is build on a legacy by simply making great music in a way that feels genuine.

‘Dracula Untold’ portrays legendary figure as tortured prince
A
lthough Bram Stoker’s “Count Dracula” named its eponymous character after Vlad the Impaler — a real-life 15th-century Prince of Wallachia — Gary Shore’s “Dracula Untold” reimagines the legendary figure as Vlad himself. Although it has become a popular theme in recent Hollywood movies to recast the bad guy as the good guy, “Dracula Untold” isn’t exactly toothless. As a teenager, Vlad was taken hostage by the Turks to be trained in battle and enslaved in the Ottoman army. Under Turkish tutelage, he earned the name “Vlad the Impaler,” devastating the enemy to the tune of thousands. Yet as gruesome as the warrior Vlad was, he became a good prince, a passionate husband and loving father who grew out of the need

to impale the innocent at the behest of the Sultan. As an adult, Vlad (Luke Evans) is a burdened prince, his handsome face riveted by ravines of worry as he tries to maintain peace in the small kingdom of Transylvania. He’s managed to hang onto a tenuous decade of rest, so long as the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper) is given his dues. An abandoned Turkish scout helmet leads Vlad and his companions to Broken Tooth Mountain, where a terrifying vampire resides. A carpet of shattered bones greets the crew, cluing Vlad in to the nature of the creature lurking within the mountain’s recesses. When a convoy is sent by Mehmed II to demand the remittance of 1,000 Transylvanian boys, including Vlad’s own son, Vlad makes his way back to Broken
Tooth Mountain and enters a Faustian pact with the gruesome vampire, played with ghoulish glee by Charles Dance (“Lost,” “Game of Thrones”). Because the legend of Dracula is widely known, the audience is aware from the outset that things will end badly for Vlad, but Evans’ earnest portrayal of the tortured protagonist keeps us firmly on his side. Despite the predictability, this sword-clashing battle epic happens to be a pretty good time at the movies, delivering high entertainment value that only stumbles on a muddled ending. — Grace Gordon, entertainment writer

‘ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY’
movie review
MOVIE REVIEW ‘ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY’ PG 1:21 2 1⁄2 stars Starring: Ed Oxenbould, Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey, Megan Mullally. (Rude humor including some reckless behavior and language)
Artetas ‘Very Bad Day,’ is bearable not terrible
A
side from the rampaging kangaroo and burning pirate shirt, “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” emphasizes relatable humor families can connect to over slapsticky gimmicks and cheap laughs. It’s even smart enough to take the kiddie poop joke — an unfortunate family comedy staple — and make it work on an entirely different level, with a little help from Dick Van Dyke. Like Judith Viorst’s classic 1972 children’s book, which gently taught youngsters that bad days are just a part of life, director Miguel Arteta’s (“Cedar Rapids”) movie exudes an empathetic warmth and goodwill that helps make up for the often tired and telegraphed gags. Although Ray Cruz’s black-and-white illustrations highlighted the simplicity of Viorst’s story, Rob Lieber’s script is much more frenetic, but with good reason: The movie is aimed at busy families with two working — or attempting to work — parents trying to do it all in the fast-paced 21st century. Any mom or dad who has tried to shuttle two kids to separate activities happening at the same time during a frantic day at the office will find a “been there, done that” laugh in the short and sweet — but thankfully not too syrupy — comedy. On the eve of his 12th birthday, Alexander (Ed
LOOKATOKC.COM
Oxenbould) feels like a black sheep in his pictureperfect family, mostly because he’s clumsy, awkward and a bit disaster prone, especially when he tries to talk to the girl of his dreams, the smart and lovely Becky Gibson (Sidney Fullmer). His baby brother Trevor (Elise and Zoey Vargas) is disarmingly adorable, his older sister Emily (Kerris Dorsey) is a confident aspiring actress preparing to play the title role in the school production of “Peter Pan,” and his older brother Anthony (Dylan Minnette) is a smooth, style-setting heartthrob getting ready to make a splash at the junior prom with his snobby girlfriend Celia (Bella Thorne). His mom (Jennifer Garner), a marketing executive for a publishing company, is excited about a potential promotion, even if it means putting in more hours with her demanding boss, Nina (Casady High School graduate Megan Mullally). Even his dad (Steve Carell), an aerospace engineer who was laid off seven months ago, has taken on his new role as a stay-at-home parent with gusto, fixing frittatas for breakfast and encouraging the family to approach life with Zen positivity. After another day of fiascos that seems worse when he learns everyone else had the best day ever, Alexander makes a birthday wish that his family will finally have the kind of bad day that seems to plague him — and he gets his wish.
Naturally, everything unravels on a crazy-busy day: Dad finally gets a promising job interview but has to take the baby along when the sitter cancels; Emily gets sick on the opening day of her play; Anthony wrecks the van during his driving test; and Mom’s big celebrity launch goes awry when an unfortunate misprint shows up in a new potty-training book. Only Alexander seems to be having a good day, but he’s had so much experience with bad ones, he willingly plays cheerleader to his beleaguered, overscheduled clan. Offering an oversized version of reality, the slight, good-natured film mostly earns knowing chuckles, with a few extra-large comedic moments like the petting-zoo wildlife escaping and Dad’s blousy pirate shirt catching fire to make grade-schoolers belly laugh. (For the moms, there’s a trio of Australian cowboy strippers who almost take it all off to up the comedy ante.) Plus, Arteta has the requisite happy ending and family-friendly messaging done and the credits rolling by the 80-minute mark, so Alexander’s surprisingly not-so-bad “Very Bad Day” is over before anyone can get bored or annoyed. — Brandy McDonnell, entertainment writer

‘THE JUDGE’
MOVIE REVIEW ‘THE JUDGE’ R 2:21 3 1⁄2 stars Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Billy Bob Thornton, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jeremy Strong. (Language including some sexual references)
Family law: Father and son drama in volatile “Judge”
R
obert Duvall’s jolting performance as an unbending parent as well as a stern legal monarch holding sway over an idyllic Indiana town from a judicial bench may win this gifted actor his long-overdue second Oscar, and there’s perhaps a statuette coming, too, for twicenominated Robert Downey Jr. as the rejected son of this black-robed king of a small-town courtroom in director David Dobkin’s “The Judge.” As award season approaches, expect Hollywood to trot out its strongest contenders, and this is one of the first, co-starring Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (“Up in the Air”) and trophy winner Billy Bob Thornton (“Sling Blade”). Downey stars as top-gun Chicago defense lawyer Henry Palmer, who’ll use barely ethical tactics to spring his well-heeled clients, now drawn back to his childhood hometown by the death of his mother and forced to reunite with his long-estranged father, Judge Joseph Palmer, along with his contentious older brother, the favored son Glen Palmer (the excellent Vincent D’Onofrio) and the mentally deficient but well-meaning younger brother Dale Palmer

(Jeremy Strong), who’s been filming home movies of the family’s trials and tribulations for years. After his mother’s funeral, it’s painfully apparent that long-standing resentments and unresolved issues still exist between the black-sheep middle son and the disapproving, obsessively ethical Palmer patriarch, and Henry can’t wait to get out of town, especially when his combative father has practically invited him to leave. But Henry is quickly called back to town when he’s told by his older brother that their father, the most upstanding and respected citizen in Carlinville, Ind., has been accused of murdering a man he’d once sentenced to prison. Judge Palmer doesn’t even want his son defending him, opting for an inexperienced local lawyer who’s barely up to the task. But Henry teams with the hometown defense attorney anyway, and the trial proceeds without much aid from the defendant, who is at turns outraged and uncaring, and of little help in his own defense due to a faulty memory clouded by medication he’s been taking for a serious illness. He honestly doesn’t remember where he was or what he was doing on the night of the mur-
der. To complicate matters, a high-powered prosecutor (a grim-faced Billy Bob Thornton) with an old grudge against Henry is determined to send Judge Palmer to prison. The furious clashes and cold silences between father and son throughout this volatile drama (written by Nick Schenk and Bill Dubuque from a story by Dobkin and Schenk) are textbook examples of masterful acting, and Henry’s rekindled relationship with an old flame (Farmiga) provides a heartrending subplot as the protagonist is forced to face yet another old regret. The denouement will come as a surprise to many, but it’s a moving and satisfactory conclusion, bringing the gavel down on one of the best (if somewhat overlong) psychological dramas of the year, and leaving audiences with ideas to consider about their own family relationships long after court is adjourned. — Gene Triplett, entertainment writer

ROBERT DUVALL , ‘THE JUDGE’
movie feature
Will ‘The Judge’ add to Duvall’s esteemed awards? BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — There was no mistaking the voice of one of the men coming down the long hallway of the Four Seasons Hotel. It was the voice of the air cavalry officer in the Vietnam War epic “Apocalypse Now” who declared, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” The same voice with the drawl of the outlaw in the original “True Grit” who answered a threat of death from Marshal Rooster Cogburn with, “I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.” But the mild-mannered man in the quilted down vest looked more like an ordinary guy dressed for a fishing trip than the Oscar-winning actor who’s been dubbed “the American Olivier.” And he introduced himself simply as “Bobby Duvall” when he shook hands with the reporter who was waiting for him. The actor and the reporter were ushered into a hotel room where they were scheduled to have a 15-minute conversation about “The Judge,” a drama starring Robert Duvall as a small town’s rigid, venerable judge who’s been accused of murder, and Robert Downey Jr. as the long-estranged son and big city lawyer who must defend a disapproving father who wants no help from him. The role of Judge Joseph Palmer was a difficult one, Duvall admitted, as he served himself a bowl of fresh fruit and grabbed a bottle of water from a sideboard before sitting down at the interview table. Duvall said the part required the actor to tap into many different layers of emotion and shades of a complicated personality. “Everybody said, ‘Did you study law?’ ‘Did you look at judges?’ Naw, I just, I came in; I’m an actor. You start with talking and listening like we’re doing now, and just go from there. Let it build. You have to jump in. And when the big scenes come, you’ve got to try to find it out of yourself. Not out of an idea. So it was a big challenge.”
DOUBTS ABOUT ROLE Duvall acknowledged having certain doubts about accepting the role at first. “There’s a lot of negative aspects to the guy that I had to go through to do this,” he said. “But once I committed, I thought he was a very complex guy. ... (It’s a ) very smart script, very intricately written, very smartly done. And that appealed to me. ... So I just, I was drawn to it, slowly, slowly. And then when I said, ‘Yeah, I wanna do it,’ I just had to jump in and go.” Duvall said it helped greatly to be working with “top of the line” collaborators on “The Judge,” particularly Downey, who also served as one of the executive producers, and his wife Susan Downey, who was one of the producers. Director David Dobkin also allowed for plenty of

rehearsal time before shooting began, including a 90-minute session of improvisation involving Duvall, Downey, Vincent D’Onofrio and Jeremy Strong, designed to strengthen the authenticity of the family dynamic that was essential to the story. “Yeah, we did, yeah, which can be good and bad,” Duvall said. “I mean, I don’t necessarily need rehearsal or necessarily look for it, but if it comes, it’s fine, it’s fine. But you know, sometimes the rehearsal can be the first take. And then take two, take three. But you know, if they wanna sit around and rehearse and, as long as there’s just not too much talk, that’s OK. But I can go either way.”
OLIVIER, BRANDO AND OSCAR Tess Harper, Duvall’s co-star in 1982’s “Tender Mercies” — for which Duvall won a best acting Oscar — once said she never really got to know the actor, only his character, Max Sledge, because he inhabited the role so completely. Duvall, who just finished directing a Western tentatively titled “Wild Horses,” which he co-wrote with his wife, Luciana Pedraza, tends to laugh off the “American Olivier” tag that’s been hung on him. “There are others now that they might call that,” he said. “There are such good actors now. But a guy
like (Marlon) Brando at his best was more in touch with himself. (Laurence) Olivier was fine and very talented, but it’s all a matter of opinion. Olivier was Olivier, and he did many different things, and he was very versatile. I don’t know if he had a certain inner thing that certain other actors like Brando had.” The role of which Duvall is most proud is that of Gus McCrae, the grizzled Texas Ranger he portrayed in the TV adaptation of Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prizewinning novel, “Lonesome Dove.” “Kind of like my Hamlet,” he said. “You know. The English have Shakespeare, the French have Moliere. And we have the Western. It’s kind of like our deal, you know? It’s a great part from the novel. It’s a great novel, and I think that he was just a very interesting guy. Very interesting guy on paper. It guided me along, the writing. And Bill Wittliff made the adaptation of that.” As for talk that Duvall might win his second acting Oscar for his performance in “The Judge,” well, the actor laughs that off as well. “This town is so preoccupied with the Oscar,” he said. “I don’t know, maybe, whatever. I’ve won one, so ... Listen, I have my Oscar on my mantel, and I have a wonderful letter from Brando over here, from when he saw ‘The Apostle,’ the thing I did. I almost treasure the letter from him more than the Oscar.”

CALIFORNIA DREAMING: OK MAN BRINGS SEAVEES BACK
CALI FOR NIA OKLAHOMA MAN
BRINGS SEAVEES BACK H E AT H E R WA R LI C K | LI FE & S T Y L E E D ITO R
Steve Tiller, of Norman, found his California dream in Tokyo. “From very early on in my life I was intrigued by the California dream. It starts way early,” Tiller said. Tiller is now the CEO of SeaVees, a once-popular line of sneakers that went dormant in 1971. Tiller revived the surfstyle sneaker line in 2009, which also revived his hopes for his own future. He remembers his grandparents’ den in Norman lined with the yellow spines of hundreds of National Geographic magazines. “For a landlocked kid, it was a cool thing to look at these magazines, because it was a way to escape to Japan and India and
China and all these far reaches of the world,” he said. A 1966 issue of the magazine, with the headline “Golden Magnet,” was his favorite. It was all about the California dream. At that time, according to the magazine, about 1,000 people per day were moving to the Los Angeles area to find that dream. That California dream took root in Tiller’s heart. Then a real California surfer kid showed up at Tiller’s school. His name was Tony, and his California style transformed Tiller and his buddies into pseudo surfer dudes. As suddenly as Tony appeared, however, he disappeared, and Tiller hasn’t found him since.

WORKING HIS WAY UP
At the University of Oklahoma, Tiller studied marketing, but working a part-time job at Harold’s, he was always attracted to the shoes. The shop sold a wide variety of Cole Haans. After college, Tiller went to work for Cole Haan as a buyer. He worked his way up the ladder at Cole Haan, and his career bloomed. As a professional trend spotter, shoe designer and connoisseur, Tiller could tell from across a ballroom what style dress shoe a man wore, down to which season’s collection the shoe came from. Tiller traveled the world, shopping shoe and fashion trends and predicting consumer behavior. He spent 18 years developing his knowledge and love of shoes.

A SOLE FOR SHOES 1
LOOKATOKC.COM
Tiller loved his career working with major shoe designers such as Cole Haan, Land’s End, The Nine West Group, Steve Madden and The Stride Rite Corp., which owned Sperry Topsiders and Keds. But there was always a feeling that he was not being true to himself. “I felt something that was beyond hunger. It was like a yearning. Like a gut-wrenching yearning that, as I got older, started to haunt me. I had visions of turning 40 and not ever being true to myself,” he said. In 2009, after a long day of shopping in Tokyo, Tiller happened upon a shoe that confounded him. Behind glass in a secondhand store that featured all things Americana, a pair of sneakers challenged Tiller’s knowledge of shoes, but more dramatically, the shoe spoke to Tiller’s yearning for the California dream. The shoes were SeaVees, a canvas sneaker with a light blue herringbone sole with an offset heel scab (logo). The shoe didn’t stop Tiller in his tracks for its innovation. “It was actually the opposite. It felt so familiar, yet I had never heard of it before,” Tiller said. He bought the “dead stock” pair of shoes that was made in 1964, still in the box and had never been worn. The shoes cost him $500. “What I loved was it had the seduction of the sea in its name,” Tiller recalls. He also loved the wishbone-shape V in the logo. If nothing else, Tiller figured he could add the pair to a collection of interesting shoes he bought here and there and threw into a duffle bag at his home in Boston. The collection was intended to be used as inspiration when, one day, Tiller’s dream of having his own brand and his own designs came to fruition.
FRUITION
When Tiller did some research on the SeaVees brand, he found something that again stopped him in his tracks. The brand had been abandoned in 1971 and was up for grabs. “It wasn’t a household name. It wasn’t the biggest brand on the block, but in its day it had great bones,” Tiller said. From 1964 until 1969, SeaVees was a part of BF Goodrich. The tire company used excess rubber to manufacture sneakers. Then, Converse purchased the sneaker portfolio of BF Goodrich, which consisted of PF Flyers, Jack Purcell and SeaVees. In 1971, the U.S. Justice department decided Converse had effectively created a monopoly on the sneaker industry and, to comply, Converse sold PF Flyers, kept Jack Purcell and shut down SeaVees. The SeaVees brand was left for dead for nearly 40 years until Tiller saw that sneaker in the window of that secondhand store in Tokyo. Tiller hired a lawyer and 18 months later was the proud owner of global branding rights to SeaVees. “Perhaps in finding this brand I might actually find a little of myself,” Tiller said. Part of that was bringing the shoe back to its rightful birthplace — Southern California, just the place he’d hoped to end up one day. Tiller and his family were living in Boston, but he moved west with the company to California. He now lives in Santa Barbara, one block from the beaches he idolized as a teen. “I have memories of my first visit to the Pacific Ocean, and I looked around and said, ‘Wow, people really live this way,’” Tiller said. SeaVees went back into production in 2010 and now are sold in 12 countries around the world. The top-selling country is the United States. The second is the same place he first found that dead-stock pair, Japan. But in every country, Tiller is marketing a bit of California. “Every shoe is named after an influential date in California history,” Tiller said. “We do market the California dream.”

KAISER’S RETURNS TO MIDTOWN
Kaiser’s returns to historic building with new operators in Midtown
T
he historic Kaiser’s in Midtown is set to reopen as a diner just one month after it shut down amidst fears the building suffered damage from construction next door at St. Anthony Hospital. The new operator, Kristen Cory, is teaming up with the chef from the former tenant, Kaiser’s American Bistro, Randy Giggers, and East Coast transplant Angie Uselton. “Everything is fine,” Cory said. “It was a case where it was thought there was damage, but everything is fine.” Cory acknowledges she is a newcomer to the restaurant business. She credits her father, businessman Kevin Cory, with jumping on an opportunity to acquire the restaurant after the former operator, Robbie Brookshire, shut down in August. “I always wanted to get into the restaurant business, so this was a great opportunity,” Cory said. “I really love that it is historic and protected through the preservation district. I love the old ’40s-’50s feel of the place. They kept the old soda fountain, and they have the old pictures on the wall. I loved it all.” Cory said she is dedicated to bringing back Kaiser’s as an old-fashioned diner in a way that hearkens back to its founder, Anthony J. Kaiser. Kaiser, a Swiss immigrant, first opened his ice cream parlor in 1909 with 50 cents in his pocket, a threequart ice cream freezer and family recipes. He moved to NW 10 and Walker Avenue in 1919, and the Kaiser family operated the ice cream shop and restaurant until 1977, when it was sold to Larry Burke. Attorney Peter K. Schaffer bought the building and restaurant in 1982. He operated the restaurant as a nonprofit, The Grateful Bean Cafe, employing the chronically unemployed until a few years ago. With Midtown enjoying a revival, the restaurant reopened as an upscale bistro that included converting half of the historic soda fountain counter into a bar with liquor sales. The last operator, Robbie Brookshire, ended sales of liquor and restored the ice cream and soda fountain counter. Peter Schaffer, meanwhile, passed ownership of the

building on to his daughter, Stephanie, who resides in California. Cory said she is committed to improving the quality of the operation and food. The diner will operate 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Randy Giggers, who spent the past five years as chef at Kaiser’s, will continue to oversee the kitchen. “Worse come to worse, I was prepared to work somewhere else,” Giggers said of the August closing. “I’ve been in the business 35 years. But when I heard

Kristen was coming in, I knew I had a home here. We’ve made some changes to the menu, but some will remain the same. We’ll still have bison burgers, homemade ice cream and chili.” Oklahoma City landmark Angie Uselton, managing partner, said Kaiser’s reminded her of diners she grew up with on the east coast. She has observed a steady flow of visitors who have come by Kaiser’s with memories of its past and eager to see it reopen.
“This is a destination location, a landmark in Oklahoma City, and we want to bring it back,” Uselton said. “We’ve had many people coming by our door as we’ve been cleaning up. They remember the good old days when they were younger, and how they’ve brought their children here and their grandchildren here. They want to experience again those old memories.” — Steve Lackmeyer, downtown OKC beat writer

being painted on both sides of the Rocktown Climbing Gym — a former grain silo that faces Bricktown, the Oklahoma River and the new Interstate 40. The 12,800-square-foot mural entitled “This Land” features the American bison, scissortail flycatcher, Indian paintbrush wildflowers and wheat. Sinnett first planned on completing the project in spring 2012. The mural ties into two already completed — one on the back of an old drivein theater along Route 66 in El Reno and at Second and Detroit Avenue in Tulsa’s Blue Dome arts district. Sinnett started prepping the silo for the murals last year. “We’ve been saving money in our initiatives fund for multiple years, waiting for a project like this to come along,” said Jane Jenkins, president of Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. “We all love this mural and its symbolism, and of course, are proud to help fund
anything that improves the downtown community.”’ Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. also has assisted in obtaining necessary permits, including covering any related fees. This month’s 7th Street retail shopping village, curated by Ashley Terry, will include: The Plant Shoppe, The Clad Stache, Group Fly, The Little Bubble, Shanna Banana, Plenty Mercantile, The Okay See and Shop Good. Shop Good will be screen printing T-shirts live during the event. The Nature Conservancy, located at 408 NW 7, will host the final installment of its “Nature in Art” series, featuring earthy abstract art by local artist John Gron. John’s art will be available for purchase and 30 percent of proceeds will be donated to support the Conservancy’s work in Oklahoma: to protect the lands and waters on which all life depends.

BIG shot
Featuring
Amanda & Dylan Bradway
Local artists Amanda and Dylan Bradway operate DNA Galleries located at 1709 NW 16th St. in the Plaza District and work tirelessly to support artists who work in non-traditional styles. They feature a new artist every month at DNA during Live on the Plaza. The couple were both raised in Oklahoma and share a gift for graphic design. Photographer Chris Landsberger met Amanda and Dylan outside of their home while they were creating a mural along their fence. Chris chose to style the shoot with an “American Gothic” theme in order to bring out the
personalities of the artful duo. The mural is their way of promoting the growth of public art. This form of art is not limited to the sides of buildings or downtown areas, it’s also a way of fusing culture into neighborhoods. The Bradway fence is just another reminder of how impactful public art can be and highlights its power to draw people together. The Bradways are using #indifence to promote their fence mural. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor
