’m allergic to cats but thankfully not to the ones in this issue. BY NATHAN POPPE Welcome to the first edition of LOOKATOKC EDITOR LICKatOKC, the idea that started as NPOPPE@OPUBCO.COM my terrible pun at a meeting and ended up being one of the cooler issues this year. If you picked up our #MyOklahoma edition in July then you’ll know exactly what to expect. We’re aiming for a very visual experience that focuses on the furry creatures that populate our city. A special thanks to Tiffany Gibson and Ebony Dallas for doing the heavy lifting in this issue and helping get the word out on social media. It’s our first attempt at an animal issue but the overwhelming number of entries makes us think you really like us, or you have an unhealthy obsession with your animal. Either way, we are a piece of paper and don’t judge you. Like Tiffany says in the cover story, we hope to make LICKatOKC a yearly thing. So keep using the #LICKatOKC hashtag with your Instagram posts and don’t forget to save us some great photos for next year. We know there will be plenty of adorable things happening between then and now. And don’t forget: Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered. Goodbye everybody.

Under the radar, ﬁve releases you might have missed in 2014

t’s almost year-end list season so before you guys start trying to ﬁgure out which record was 2014’s best, here are a couple of really good ones that for whatever reason — small label, unconventional release, didn’t hit with the tastemakers, etc., etc. — ﬂew under the radar.

players on this record. Danny Eisenberg’s organ and piano playing is rich and understated throughout while John Anderson and Ed Eﬁra’s guitar collective guitar playing hits a peak on “Nothing More Than Everything to Me,” an honest-to-God roadhouse country tune driven to a new level of existence by a chorus of backing gospel singers.

JOYCE MANOR — “NEVER HUNGOVER AGAIN”

EX HEX — “RIPS”

Sometimes I think more records should be 19 minutes long. But then again few songwriters could convey heartbreak and hope as efficiently and with as much enthusiasm as Joyce Manor does. “Falling in Love Again” is one of the year’s best songs of any genre, perfectly capturing the anxiety felt when you’re trying to impress somebody you like, maybe even love. And for a band of California punks they shift gears from slow jams like “End of the Summer” to ﬁst-pumpers like “Heart Tattoo” and “Victoria” with a natural conﬁdence. For a pop-punk record the guitars

here are awful pretty when they want to be. After some savage riffing, “In the Army Now” lets up for a few lush swaths of notes and strummed chords before the tempo doubles up again at the end. Such a break, even one this brief, catches your ear on a record as streamlined as “Never Hungover Again.”

you can’t fault him for it. “Arm and Hammer” is this year’s “Same Damn Time,” a hard-hitting, smack-talker with an absolutely monstrous hook and it comes just three tracks after “Movie,” a tender account of the birth of his daughter. If sensitive thug is a sub-genre then Gates is currently rapping at the top of it.

KEVIN GATES — “BY ANY MEANS” MIXTAPE

CHRISTOPHER OWENS — “A NEW TESTAMENT”

“I’m lightskin and I ﬁght good, just like Muhammad Ali!” When 28-yearold Kevin Gates’ punch lines land, they’re so good that they’re exciting. He’s also got a Lil Wayne gargle and purr to his style but his greatest asset is his command of vivid street detail, and on “By Any Means” — something like his tenth or eleventh mixtape — it syncs perfectly with the mainstream rap radio production to often devastating effect. Gates is a skeptic and a pessimist (see: “Stop Lyin”) and considering some of the stuff he’s seen (see: “Homicide,” “Can’t Make This Up”)

I absolutely loved about two or three songs Christopher Owens wrote and recorded as Girls (especially “Honey Bunny”) but with that band he often slipped into a droll, removed indierock dude persona that I found kinda downcast and tedious. That sound haunted his debut solo record “Lysandre” so I was delighted to hear he ditched that look for a full-bore, almost Dwight Yoakam-level country and gospel sound on “A New Testament.” It’s a great look for him: musically gleeful with lyrics looking back on a dark time from the comfort of a better place. Owens also has the beneﬁt of great

The term “power trio” connotes to me something vaguely metallic and reliant on virtuoso skill with an overwhelmingly male fan base. Rush, basically. Washington D.C.’s Ex Hex I think has the power to wrest that connotation away from the Canadians with their terrific debut “Rips,” a record that seamlessly merges everything that was fun about The Ramones, The Runaways and anything else catchy that ever originated in a garage. TIMBER TIMBRE — “HOT DREAMS” I’ve spent a big chunk of this year trying to figure out what makes this spooky murder-mystery of a record so damn compelling and still I’m at a loss. The best I’ve come up with is the suspense Timber Timbre creates with its eerie use of synthesizers; the band’s often content to hold a single note at times for nearly a whole minute, like something out of a Hitchcock film. But gah, the lyricism here too is topnotch sinister: “You turned me on, then you turned on me.” Meanwhile time signatures twist and warp while these songs lurch from one style to the next as if you were walking through a house with each room laid out by a different designer. There is something very evil and brilliant lurking in the heart of “Hot Dreams” and you might drive yourself crazy trying to find it.

G “LOOKatME” focuses on creative people and projects based in Oklahoma.

uymon-native Jerrod Smith might sport a stout beard and drive a motorcycle around the city, but don’t let the hard exterior fool you. He’s got a sweet side. “I’m a big animal guy. I have two dogs (pit bull and a fox terrier) and a cat,” Smith said. When he’s not taking care of animals, he’s creating art at The Society or managing his barbershop and provisions store, Weldon Jack. The Society is a collective art space in the Plaza District where Smith also lives, creates art and hosts events. It’s a concept that seemed unique to Oklahoma when it started in 2011. “With The Society it seemed like we were three years ahead,” Smith said. “We want other artists to inspire and do what they do for a living.” If you want to see his support for the art community firsthand, head to Western Avenue and see his large mural decorating the side of Hoffman furniture. Smith not only helped make one, he chaired the Taste of Western event benefiting the district. They were able to raise money through a mural contest. It’s Smith’s way of increasing awareness for local artists throughout the metro. Weldon Jack is just down the street on Western Avenue. It’s a store geared toward men with items such as beard wax, cigar box lamps and motorcycle gear. It

just celebrated its first year of business on Nov. 15. The store is a rare find in a female driven market. “The products I wanted to carry are better quality and a little more thought out, and (we have) things that are made in town,” Smith said. “If we can’t find them in Oklahoma (then) we search nationally.” There’s a grooming side to Weldon Jack with hair and beard cuts. The idea to have a barbershop with a provisions store seemed like an obvious fit to Smith. “The barbershop side of things came about because service and retail makes a lot of sense,” he said. “It’s this cool little communal spot.” And just like the namesake of the story, the barbershop pays homage to his grandfather’s military service. He was the base barber when he was stationed in Iceland. Smith’s next journey is to take Oklahoma made items on the road by motorcycle and share them with the rest of the nation as a wholesaler. It’s one way he hopes to shed light on the talent in Oklahoma. “I think people are just pleasantly surprised there are (people) that aren’t settlers, but are pioneers that are pioneering shops like this and stepping up the level they are doing things,” Smith said.“I think people are just pleasantly surprised there are (people) that aren’t settlers, but are pioneers that are pioneering shops like this and stepping up the level they are doing things.”

DRINK & DRAW

Disney moonwalk to jazz

Edgardo George • eggokc.com

• “I draw baaad things.”

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 a jazz enthusiast moonwalking at an apocalyptic Disney World. 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

CLARK, ‘CLARK’

album review

Chris Clark

elf-titled albums are supposed to be an artist’s defining statement. It’s why bands commonly choose to name their debut album after themselves. On the other hand, Chris Clark has chosen to wait 10 years and seven albums into his career to make his proclamation. Clark has helped define Warp Records’ post Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada sound in the 21st century since his third album. He’s an electronic producer who prefers computers to instruments because, like many of his label peers, he’s searching for humanity in circuitry. The one-minute album intro kicks into gear with what sounds like a 200-inch tube television getting flipped on for the first time. The cinematic feeling transitions into “Winter Linn,” which sounds as if John Carpenter composed the “Drive” soundtrack. But Clark doesn’t settle for mere background noise. He doesn’t just break down his beats; he mutates them into different patterns while shifting the synthesized fore-

ground. Loops create the backbone of most of these songs. Whether it’s an aspiring piano progression on “Strength Through Fragility” or the industrial beatdown on “Banjo,” Clark demonstrates immense range through recursion. “Clark” takes a dramatic shift at the halfway mark with the doomsday sounds of “Snowbird.” An inaudible female voice stumbles over a crystal clear xylophone while ominous synths bubble from below. It’s all in preparation for album highlight “The Grit in the Pearl,” which slowly builds to a club beat we’ve heard from the likes of Burial and Jamie xx in the recent past. Clark isn’t satisfied with letting the beat ride, preferring to deconstruct and dissolve it during the song’s two-minute outro. Clark takes the same approach with the album’s ending, using the seven-minute penultimate track “There’s a Distance in You” to crash all of his ideas

into one grand climax. Closing track “Everlane” picks up the pieces and floats the listener safely back to solid ground with its beautiful beatless drift. The gigantic television that heralded the album’s beginning fades to black. Clark has possibly made the best album of his long career, a claim supported by my undeniable urge to power the big screen back on and watch the man work over and over again. — Beau Blackstock, entertainment writer

beau’ s tips FOR FANS OF Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, Bibio. FAVORITE TRACKS: “Winter Linn,” “The Grit In the Pearl,” “There’s a Distance In You.”

KANON_KID, ‘DORMANT DREAMS’

klahoma City newcomer Maxwell Moore, one half of Cosmostanza and the man behind the helm of kanon_kid, is doing what few of his peers have the intelligence and bravery to do: experiment. While his contemporaries are writing songs about girls dumping them and drinking too much, Moore, 19, is spending time honing his craft and pushing the limits of his talent. “Dormant Dreams” is a record that expresses a sense of living in a vibrant world of fantasy where the only limit is the imagination of the listener. Bold and playful soundscapes glisten and guide the listener through the deep and whimsical mind of Moore. On the first listen, it almost feels as if you’re back in 1995 playing an old role-playing game on Super Nintendo, with “Intro” acting as the title card. Moore’s strength here lies with tracks like “Yukina” that use beautiful synth to explore atmospheres in the back of your brain while

Page 12

November 19 - December 2, 2014

not trying to do so much and become overbearing. The song glides effortlessly over deep water and unseen clouds. If “Yukina” is your freedom of flight and travel, then “Away” takes you through the most untouched crystalline dungeons overtaken by nature and things far more mysterious. The use of rhythm on “Away” is particularly nice due to Moore’s discretion; if you have something wonderful in its bare-bones structure, caking on excess will only lead to a hollow feeling. “Otani” adds the level of excitement that comes from the thrill of discovery or accomplishment. That exhilaration of something new going so well and you’re not afraid to fall in love seeps from every corner of texture. Moore navigates rhythm and effervescent key lines almost perfectly as the song cruises with the greatest of ease

back into the sky. “Dormant Dreams” is a fantastic debut for the kanon_kid canon and also establishes Moore’s place at the top of electronic music of Oklahoma City. For someone so young, Moore is blazing trails at the excitement of his fans and the behest of other acts attempting to follow in his footsteps. — Kellen McGugan, entertainment writer

RUN THE JEWELS, ‘RTJ2’

album review

(Akinyele Back)” has to be the most insane part of the whole album. That beat sounds like if Death Grips were actually a good band. Kellen: Or if Sleigh Bells knew what they were doing. Their rhymes are disgusting, but then Three 6 Mafia’s Gangsta Boo immortalizes her Southern nastiness in a guest verse so powerful it reminds me of when Nicki Minaj showed up on “Monster.” Beau: The message coalesces on penultimate track “Crown,” where Mike repents at the altar about drug dealing in his past. Kellen: In lesser hands this song would have ended in under two minutes. Instead, El-P extends the beat with guitars sounding like Portishead under a rallying cry for their fans that helped make their career possible. Beau: “A little toast to the no ones,” begins El-P on album closer “Angel Duster,” the five-minute album anchor, proving that hip-hop albums that take sequencing seriously hit much harder. Kellen: They’ve been working hard as solo artists and realize their combined force is greater than anything they’ve ever done previously. They want us to know they’re thankful for this opportunity. — Kellen McGugan, Beau Blackstock, entertainment writers

Editor’s note: Run the Jewels is the rap duo of Killer Mike and El-P. The legally named Michael Render and Jaime Meline are best friends changing the face of hip-hop. Music columnists Kellen McGugan and Beau Blackstock are best friends who love Run the Jewels. The following is a discussion between the two while listening to Run the Jewels’ new album “RTJ2.” Beau Blackstock: This review will be unconventional, just like the combination of Killer Mike and El-P working together. Kellen McGugan: They began their career with the middle-finger-to-the-world title track “Run The Jewels” in 2013. I like how El-P began the intro track on the first album, but this time Killer Mike greets us out the gate of “RTJ2” opener “Jeopardy.” Beau: “Jeopardy” feels like a warning, whereas lead single “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry” feels like the real middle finger of this sequel. Kellen: “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry” is what we were expecting after the promises from the first album. Having “Jeopardy” open the album is their way of saying this will add to that promise with extra lyrical substance. Beau: It’s fists to the face in repeat as “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry” runs straight into “Blockbuster Night Part 1,” proving that best friends know how to finish ... Kellen: ... each other’s sentences. What makes Killer Mike and El-P stand out is their unselfish approach to hip-hop. Rather than spitting all their verses at once, they can trade off line for line, acting like a Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook tag team. Beau: But they realize when to bring in a Serge Ibaka or Steven Adams. In this case, it’s Zach De La Rocha providing the “Run them jewels fast” hook,

LOOKATOKC.COM

along with a bonus verse that will have Rage Against The Machine fans pumping their fists. Kellen: Pumping their fists and pointing their gun fingers, because Run The Jewels is taking shots at other rappers. Pointing out in vivid detail how what they have going on between the two of them is better than their peers’ attempts at hip-hop. Beau: El-P has refined his production skills so his beats hit with the same accuracy as their rhymes. If you thought Kanye West pushed boundaries on “Yeezus,” “RTJ2” is the sound of Jaime and Mike running those ideas far into the future. Kellen: Their message is often political. He sings about being separated from his “beautiful son” and “gorgeous queen” after trying to reason with an officer. “I respect the badge and the gun,” is a line you don’t hear very often in hip-hop. Beau: The fact they chose to perform “Early” on the “Late Show With David Letterman” with coproducer BOOTS, who worked with Beyonce on her self-titled smash, proved they are more interested in sharing a message than showing off their refined smack talk. Kellen: I feel like El-P took the Travis Barkerassisted beat on “All Due Respect” and stayed up late at night writing some of his best lyrics to date. Beau: “Love Again

FOR FANS OF: OutKast, Clipse, Wu-Tang Clan. FAVORITE TRACKS: Kellen: “Crown,” “Blockbuster Night Part 1,” “Jeopardy.” Beau: “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry,” “All Due Respect,” “Lie, Cheat, Steal.” FAVORITE LYRIC: Kellen: “You can run the jewels or lose your fingers.” Beau: “The answer is ’Run The Jewels,’ the question is, ’What’s popping?’ ”

band q&a

MOONGIANT

Indie folk rock act offers a unified front in music

Oklahoma City band Moongiant.

klahoma City band Moongiant — charming indie folk rock in the vein of Los Angeles band Lord Huron or the closer-to-home Horse Thief — is releasing its new EP this week. Careful in everything from unwillingness to speak over each other in this interview, to the timeline and level of polish on its first official release, Moongiant (singer/guitarist Erich Massad, guitarist Chavez Soliz, bassist Billy Muschinske and drummer Jacob Mann) offers a unified front. Q: What’s the timeline of this band’s formation? How did you guys meet? Erich Massad: In the summer or early fall of 2012, Chavez and I were thinking about starting up a new project. I’d just gotten out of one, and he wanted to start one, so we jammed a little bit. Jacob and I had played together in the past, so we got him in, and Billy came along. He’s an all-around musician, and he started playing bass for us. We played our first show in February (2013).

Page 14

Q: Are any of you ACM@UCO students? Massad: We all are. Or were. Q: Congratulations on the EP. Tell me about the recording process. Jacob Mann: We recorded with a good friend of ours, Cash Wheeler, who is kind of an unsung treasure in a way. He recorded Horse Thief’s first album. We sat down with him, gave him our budget and told him what we wanted to do. We ended up recording at a studio downtown that we all practice in (and share with Horse Thief). Cash recorded us, and Michael Trepagnier mixed it — another incredibly talented dude we really love. And it was mastered by Kevin Lively. Just all really awesome guys. We couldn’t have picked a better team to work on our first musical venture together. Billy does a lot of engineering in his home studio ... we added one song that he did to the record as well. Q: How did you guys know it was time to put out a record? Massad: In OKC’s music scene, I suppose, there are so many bands who can

November 19 - December 2, 2014

put themselves out there via social media and things like that. It’s hard for people to be confident in a band, to go see them if they’ve never heard anything. We all decided that we need to have something for people to listen to, that we can be proud of. Not just throw a demo out there, but something we actually worked on. We just said it was time. Mann: I wanted to add, too, we didn’t really want to do the demo route. We’ve been pretty united on that since our inception. We never want to release anything we’re not proud of. We took quite a bit of time getting this record right, getting to where we really loved it. I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re pretty excited about the end result. Q: What’s your songwriting process? Is one of you the primary writer? Chavez Soliz: It’s sort of a combination. Erich and I usually bring ideas to the table. One thing we’ve found that works really well is we demo out tracks at home and send them to everybody. When we have

rehearsal, everyone’s already got a good idea of the song, and it just goes from there. Massad: I think it’s cool to live in an age where you can just send things like that. When we have an idea, we can send it off and collaborate. Q: One thing that I think is unique about bands coming out of ACM is that the community spans genre. What’s your take on how the school has shaped where you landed in OKC’s music scene? Mann: Three of us started the first year at ACM, the first day it opened. We’ve

seen a lot of great changes. It’s a hub for all these bands to meet; it’s how I met Erich and Chavez. Young kids, people who are a little bit older, everyone’s working to create something new and cool in Oklahoma City. Q: So what’s next, then? You have a record. Where do you go from here? Massad: That’s a tough question. For an unsigned band in OKC, there’s not much you can do without a label giving you a bunch of money. We’re going to put this record out and some regional weekend outings. We’ll probably

just start getting more recording done in the next six months or so, but we’re definitely going to push “Territories” pretty hard. Soliz: I definitely feel like we’ll do regional stuff and push the record, but at the same time ... we’re not content. We’re going to continue writing, probably pretty heavily now that we aren’t in the studio. We’re going to be very active in the behind-thescenes kind of stuff, too. — Becky Carman, entertainment writer

‘BIG HERO 6’

movie review

MOVIE REVIEW ‘BIG HERO 6’ PG 1:45 3 stars Starring: Voices of Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit, Jamie Chung, Genesis Rodriguez and T.J. Miller. (Action and peril, some rude humor and thematic elements)

‘Big’ laughs, stellar animation elevate Disney flick

ig Hero 6 made me feel like a kid again. Granted, I’m 25, and I laugh feverishly at Cartoon Network mainstay “Adventure Time” and almost any YouTube video where someone falls down. However, the flashy, simple storytelling in Disney’s comic book adaptation is aimed squarely for the young at heart. Disney’s 54th animated feature focuses on the appropriately named robot enthusiast Hiro Hamada and his brother Tadashi, who occupy the colorfully named city San Fransokyo. The two stick together because, besides their kooky aunt, they only have each other. That makes it all the more frustrating that Tadashi would risk his life to run into a burning building to save a professor at a technology conference.

LOOKATOKC.COM

To fill the devastating void left by Tadashi, Baymax the medical robot enters the picture. He’s like Winnie the Pooh if he graduated from medical school and had all the physical properties of a balloon animal. Hiro and Baymax work together to uncover a criminal ring and recruit a few friends along the way. If you’re looking for something with the emotional levity and smarts of “The Incredibles” (which is a decade old, almost to the day), then you might just plop that 2004 hit back in the DVD player. But “Big Hero 6” is still huge fun. The CGI flick is gorgeously animated and contains about as much visual splendor as anything I’ve ever seen on the silver screen. But that beauty is only ever on the surface level.

What’s missing is an impactful, original story and a fuller character arc for Hiro. He does a majority of his changing within the first 15 minutes of the film and remains a goodhearted kid for the most part. However, the goofy, loving humor keeps the movie flowing at a brisk pace, and I think I laughed at this more than anything I’ve seen all year (second only to another Marvel adaptation, “Guardians of the Galaxy”). Come for the action and stay for the laughs — and even a special Stan Lee-flavored scene after the credits roll. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

‘INTERSTELLAR’

MOVIE REVIEW ‘INTERSTELLAR’ 2:49 PG-13 2 stars Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin and John Lithgow. (Some intense perilous action and brief strong language)

‘Interstellar’ doesn’t live up to Nolan’s earlier work

all it the M. Night Shyamalan syndrome. A director begins his career with triumphant films, then something snaps. Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, Jason Reitman and others have declined as their command of excitement fades. It makes you hope the disappointing “Interstellar” is just a temporary downfall in Christopher Nolan’s legendary film catalog, not the start of a hefty deterioration. Written by Nolan and his brother Jonathan, it’s a three-hour effort to create an important, epic film. Unfortunately, his focus is more focused on intergalactic travel and wormholes than human relationships. If your interest in discussions of the space-time continuum fades, composer Hans Zimmer will boost the booming organ soundtrack up to 12. The plot, set in a melodramatic near future, introduces Matthew McConaughey as Cooper, a widowed former ace pilot turned, like most Americans, to subsistence farming. A crop plague has killed every food but corn. Now nourishment is more prized than technological expertise. Tornado-speed dust storms knock books off the Cooper clan’s shelf. Cooper’s grade-school daughter Murph (played as a child by “Twilight” saga moppet

Page 16

November 19 - December 2, 2014

Mackenzie Foy) thinks the phenomenon means spirits are trying to communicate with her. The little girl, as bright and inquisitive as her father, hasn’t much of a future in a society that disrespects logical inquiry and high-tech skills. After 40 grim minutes of hard time on the farm, Cooper and Murph discover a nearby government research center that needs new blood just like them. Michael Caine is the area’s NASA research head. Anne Hathaway is his daughter, preparing for a final space voyage seeking planets to host a human colony. They recruit Cooper to pilot the trip. As the NASA types point out repeatedly, space journeys at the speed of light maintain the travelers’ youth while Earth continues to age on standard time. Try explaining that to your disconsolate 12-year-old as you leave her behind. In the film’s next two hours, it shifts between the life-or-death challenges facing the team on the black edge of space, and Cooper’s fading farm community. Murph (played as an adult by Jessica Chastain) faces challenging assignments in the NASA base and apocalyptic fires near the old farm. The film jumps between Earth and space events repeatedly, an odd choice because there’s a huge light

year of time disconnection between them. The longer the film runs, the more foreheadslapping it becomes. The space crew visits planets, one water-drowned, one ice-crippled, where it looks like corn would never grow. Another astronaut appears in mid-exploration, just as stowaways used to pop into corny space stories from the 1950s. Cooper declares in classic Nolan-speak, “Maybe we’ve spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory. Love is the one thing that transcends time and space.” “Interstellar” exposes some of Nolan’s admirable strengths. It tackles extra-peculiar story matter, ignores conventional genres, gives moments of danger impeccable visual attention. But unlike his superior “Inception” and “The Dark Knight,” “Interstellar” doesn’t turn tragedy into rich drama. The writing is less good than the direction, which is less good than the best performances, which are less good than the technological polish. Just as “Interstellar” is less good than every earlier Nolan release. — Colin Covert, Tribune News Service

‘BIRDMAN’

movie review

‘BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE)’ R 1:59 4 stars Starring: Michael Keaton, Emma Stone and Edward Norton. (Language throughout, some sexual content and brief violence)

Soaring entertainment and dark comedy fill ‘Birdman’

f “Birdman” were simply a backstage satire on the chaotic mounting of a Broadway play, it would be hugely entertaining. If it were solely a caustic commentary on the pompous buffoonery of Hollywood celebrity, it would be painfully hilarious. If it were wholly a searing psychodrama on the tyranny of overblown and indulged ego, it would be a wrenching revelation. Or if it were merely a jazz-infused riff on show-biz dreams that wavers between social realism and magical realism, it would be brilliantly inventive. But writer-director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s dazzling, virtuoso film is all those things and more. “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance),” as its idiosyncratic title suggests, is a wildly ambitious stab at spanning the yawning gap between our notions of pop-culture celebrity and enduring artistry. If Wim Wenders’ ethereal “Wings of Desire” were wed to Mel Brooks’ shticky “The Producers,” with best-man shades of Billy Wilder’s “Sunset Boulevard” and bridesmaid echoes of “The Black Swan”

LOOKATOKC.COM

thrown in, then Inarritu’s savagely funny yet oddly poignant film might be the brilliant offspring. The core narrative here deals with over-the-hill Hollywood star Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton), who made his bones years ago portraying caped avenger Birdman in a lucrative superhero film franchise, as he desperately seeks artistic redemption. His means to that end lie in mortgaging his Malibu home to produce, direct and star in a dramatic Broadway adaptation of Raymond Carver’s wrenching short story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” Inarritu — employing the brilliant camera eye of Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (“Gravity”) — composes the story in long, masterly tracking shots. They seamlessly swoop and glide over the Great White Way and dodge and dart through backstage corridors and into dingy dressing rooms in Broadway’s St. James Theater — all the action catapulted along by Antonio Sanchez’s brilliant, backbeat drum riffs. At intervals, Riggan’s gruff-voiced alter-ego, the beaked superhero Bird-

man, offers up running, ego-crushing commentary on the actor’s high-flown folly and sets the stage for some wondrous flights of magical realism that lift the story in its final act. The backstage characters that populate Riggan’s vanity project form a miracle ensemble — including snarky Edward Norton as the Method-acting bad boy, wide-eyed Emma Stone as Riggan’s just-out-ofrehab daughter, sad-sack Zach Galifianakis as Riggan’s long-suffering lawyer and a jittery Naomi Watts as Riggan’s insecurity-riddled co-star. But the heart of the show belongs to Keaton, who inhabits this meta-dream role without a whiff of actorly vanity. With close-to-the-bone frankness, he summons up fading hints of his early, manic “Beetlejuice” energy and his “Batman” past, mixes in a walloping dose of his own middle-aged superpowers, and delivers an Oscar-worthy performance that makes the whole film soar. — Dennis King, entertainment writer

MICHAEL KEATON, ‘BIRDMAN’

From Batman to Birdman

Michael Keaton arrives at the closing night gala presentation of “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” during the 52nd annual New York Film Festival at the Alice Tully Hall in New York. Photo provided NEW YORK — Sometimes it’s difficult to determine if art is imitating life or if life is imitating art in Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s dizzying, hall-of-mirrors show-biz satire “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance).” Along with its enigmatic title and its audacious mingling of magical realism and behind-the-scenes properties of reality TV, the film offers up an intriguing meta commentary on the career of star Michael Keaton, who 25 years ago donned cape and cowl to front two Tim Burton installments of the blockbuster “Batman” film franchise and is here cast as a floundering movie star — formerly famed for his run as the caped superhero Birdman — trying to resurrect his moribund career on the Broadway stage. The movie was screened in the coveted closingnight spot at the 52nd New York Film Festival, and at a postshow news conference featuring Keaton, Innaritu and others in the cast, Keaton slyly acknowledged some of the pitfalls of movie stardom in his own life and the close-to-the-bone nature of his role as washed-up actor Riggan Thomson. But, Keaton insisted, celebrity and movie stardom were never his career goals, and, in this age of YouTube, pervasive social media and reality TV, fame is indeed a commonplace commodity. “I think everybody is kind of a celebrity now,” the actor, 63, said from an impromptu stage at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater. “Anybody can be anything. While (the public) is still enamored by it, I guess, and they buy fan magazines, I don’t think celebrity is such a big deal anymore. I think everybody is kind of their own celebrity in their own head. We’re living in a really weird world where (media) is everywhere. Everyone is omnipresent.” Keaton’s co-star Zach Galfianakis, who plays

Riggan Thompson’s long-suffering agent, Jake, chimed in with his own pithy take on celebrity. “Being a celebrity is s- - -,” he said. “It’s dumb. I’m not interested in it. I like to be an actor and that’s it. The blurred lines are, I think, man-made. We have people telling us we should pay attention to certain people for the wrong reasons — their personal lives and that stuff. I’m just being honest. I’d rather do my work and go home and watch Lifetime or something.

A POWERFUL FORCE But Inarritu, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Nicholas Giacabone, Alexander Dinelaris and Armando Bo, said he believes ego, so often embodied in celebrity, is indeed a powerful driving force for actors and other creative people in the public eye. It was his own struggle with ego, he said, that inspired the “Birdman” story. “I think the idea came from this battle with ego that we all have,” the director said. “In this case a personal battle, that I have just turned 50 years old last year. You make a kind of revision of the priorities that you have been giving to your life, and some things are missing, some things are great, and some things are not so great.” Ego gives rise to a desperate sense of uncertainty in many artists, said Inarritu, whose previous films have included the heavy-duty dramas “Amores Perros,” “21 Grams” and “Babel.” “Sometimes when I’m doing something, I say, ‘Oh, this is great. This is fantastic. You’re a genius!’ And 20 minutes later, I feel like a dead jellyfish, and I say, ‘You’re a stupid a- -.’ The ego is a tyrant.” Both Keaton and co-star Edward Norton, who plays the uber-intense Broadway Method actor Mike Shiner, a young Turk who looks down his nose at “sell-out” Hollywood star Riggan, said they took the core inspira-

tion for their characters from that insecurity, intensity and actorly passion espoused by Inarritu on the set. “People ask me what actors I was referencing, and I always say that I basically just looked four feet to my left at Alejandro,” Norton said. “I’m wearing his scarf in the movie, I’m wearing his jacket, everything I say in the move I’ve heard him say or I know he wants to say. My entire performance constituted dropping the Mexican accent. For Keaton, who has earned lots of early Oscar buzz from his daredevil performance and has called the film “one of the most difficult things I’ve done,” the meta aspects of the story — an aging actor staging a career comeback in the shadow of his superhero past — doesn’t feel like that big a deal, despite the intense media hoopla. He said he doesn’t watch comic-book superhero movies (not even the Christopher Nolan “Batman” pictures). But he said he did get a particular kick out of one lavish special-effects sequence in “Birdman,” in which his winged alter-ego, in full cape and beaked mask, takes flight over Broadway and swoops majestically through the canyons of midtown Manhattan. “That moment when Birdman makes his appearance onscreen, and all that awesome F/X, comes out of nowhere, and it’s so much fun,” Keaton said. “I totally dig it. A taste of a multiplex superhero movie in the middle of our little movie.” When someone asked Keaton if he got to keep the feathery Birdman costume from that scene, the actor slapped his forehead in mock exasperation. “How stupid of me not to keep it,” he joked. “But now I’m going to be thinking of a way to get one.” — Dennis King, entertainment writer

Landmark OKC restaurant and club closes doors

he Oklahoma Tax Commission on Nov. 10 shut down the landmark Oklahoma City restaurant and music venue VZD’s, which has struggled during the past several years due to declining profits. During the course of its 38-year history, VZD’s has hosted musical acts as diverse as The Red Hot Chili Peppers to Dixie Chicks. Situated in a historic storefront once occupied by the Veazey’s Drug Co. chain at 4200 N Western, the restaurant and club was a longtime anchor of the Western Avenue shopping district. “I’m currently working with others to pick up the torch and carry on the tradition of VZD’s, just as I did 24 years ago. It has a loyal staff of great employees and is a unique institution worth continuing,” owner Chad Bleakley, who has owned VZD’s for most of its history, said in a statement. The doors of the club and restaurant were locked and the lights were off on the afternoon of Nov. 10. A closure notice printed on red paper from the Oklahoma Tax Commission was posted on the door. The venue attracted countless local acts’ album release shows and a string of impressive national acts. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flaming Lips, Bo Diddley and Dixie Chicks have performed at the venue. VZD’s hosted an eclectic mix of music but focused primarily on rock, country and pop acts. The venue often featured old-school new wave and punk rock pioneers, music for music lovers. On Oct. 30, Mike Watt headlined a set at VZD’s. Watt co-founded Minutemen and is a sometimes bassist for the Stooges. Oklahoma City-based musician and graphic designer Matt Goad, 44, has played three shows with Watt, and Goad most recently opened for Watt with his band the Feel Spectres. “To me that place is like ‘Cheers,’ ” Goad said. “It’s always been a main venue for live music.” Goad said he’s sad to see VZD’s closed. He dropped by roughly once a week for a pint or a burger. He’s been a patron for more than 20 years. He noted that just about every time he visits he sees some of the same faces. “VZD’s is such a piece of people’s lives,” Goad said. The Oklahoma Tax Commission has filed liens against VZD’s for $36,227 in unpaid sales taxes; $15,320 in mixed beverage taxes and $4,757 in withholding taxes, said Paula Ross, a spokeswoman for the Tax Commission. “We hate for any business to close, and we will try to work with the businesses to get them back up and running again,” Ross said. VZD’s has had to pay more than $100,000 in legal fees and for accessibility modifications to bring the club into compliance with disability codes and legislation banning smoking restaurants, Bleakley said. Bleakley also said he has struggled with personal health issues that have made it difficult to manage the restaurant. “These financial challenges and my personal health ... have made it impossible for me to sustain the restaurant’s current operations,” he said in the statement. — Nathan Poppe and Brianna Bailey, for LOOKatOKC

I got Sammie when she was 2 month old. About 4 months in, Sammie started acting crazy and yelling around for no reason at all. After googling everything I ﬁgured out Sammie was in heat. I was tripping out because I read such crazy stories of female cats in heat. For the next few days I did practically everything to comfort Sammie and even took off a day of work. The day ﬁnally came to get Sammie spayed, after picking up Sammie I noticed it was cheaper than they told me because my sweet baby girl of 4 months was actually a boy. I then had to tell everyone, social media about how Sammie really wasn’t a girl and he never was in heat to begin with. Lol.

rtichokes are revered around the globe, but Oklahomans view the edible flower blossom with collective suspicion. Data is scarce, but the phrase “Okie-dokie, artichokie” might have something to do with it. People from Oklahoma can call each other Okies, but others aren’t allowed — especially those from northern Califormia. And it so happens the vast majority of commercial artichokes in the U.S. hail from John Steinbeck country. Will Rogers claimed he never met anyone he didn’t like, but he never went on the record about artichokes. But artichokes have more in common with Oklahomans than you might think: Artichokes are soft and supple at heart but wear armor openly. And they’re shaped a little like a football. Once I got to know artichokes a little more intimately on a trip to California’s Salinas Valley earlier this year, I was inspired to preach the gospel on behalf of them for their health benefits and surprising versatility. Bear with me, trips to places like the Salinas Valley are transformative. A visit to America’s salad bowl is apt to make the most carnivorous among us look more fondly upon a fresh vegetable or berry. A drive through the miles and miles of lettuce rows, hillside vineyards and avocado groves, strawberry patches, broccoli fields and artichoke farms is all you need to understand Steinbeck’s propensity to romanticize. Whomever the first person was to proclaim a place “God’s Country” very likely stood within a shout of the Salinas River. The Napa Valley might offer broader tourist attractions, but Mother Nature never birthed a more lovely living testimony to practicality than the Salinas. A trip to Castroville’s Ocean Mist Farms put me square in the center of a sea of green thistles 4 to 5 feet tall. Artichoke stalks grow from a crown at ground-level. Each stalk is topped by a globe that will eventually flower. Unlike many crops, artichokes must be picked by hand. “The stalks don’t grow at the same rate,” said Pat Hopper, manager of the Artichoke Advisory Board in Castroville. “And the human eye is still the only way to determine if an artichoke is ready for harvest.” Hopper said short stalks will produce Dwarf Artichokes, which are commonly fried and eaten whole. Pezznini Farms, also in Castroville, even boasts a fried arthichoke food truck. Castroville is home to 75 percent of the country’s commercial artichoke crop. At Ocean Mist Farms, artichokes are cut from the stalk with a small knife, leaving an edible portion of stem. Harvesters then toss the ’chokes over their shoulders into canastas worn on the back. A full canasta can weigh up to 100 pounds in the spring when the

artichokes are at their heaviest. Once the canasta is full, the artichokes are taken to a ﬁeld-pack machine where they are unloaded and sorted by size into standard cartons. Cartons are then transported to refrigerated storage. Heirloom artichokes are the original variety brought to California in the early 1900s by Italian immigrants. Long-time artichoke growers refer to an Heirloom artichoke as the classic Green Globe variety. It is the variety the U.S. fresh artichoke industry was built upon and until about the 1990s was the only variety being commercially grown. In the last quarter century, artichoke growers have developed varieties that mimic the characteristics of the Heirloom variety and grow in the multiple microclimates from seed. That means artichokes are more plentiful and more cost-effective than ever. Hopper said all you really have to do to make artichokes is put them in a pot of boiling water. Add garlic, lemon juice or herbs if you like, then steam or boil them until petals pull free easily — 30 to 45 minutes. “While the artichoke is cooking, it gives you plenty of time to enjoy a glass of wine,” Hopper said on behalf of another of California’s top exports. Hopper said artichokes are popular with kids because they are playful. “Kids love the petals,” she said. “Because you put them in your mouth and take them back out.” Hopper said artichokes really are an experience. “They’re not your everyday ‘inhale your food’ ingredient,” she said. “You take your time with artichokes.” McCabe, who grew up on the East Coast, had perhaps the most experience with the vegetable. He said he grew up eating his grandmother’s stuffed artichokes regularly. Working out of Kitchen No. 324, McCabe made seared halibut with truffle-artichoke puree, fried artichoke hearts, anchovy butter and BrusselKale (a kaleBrussels sprout hybrid). If their dishes sound more intimidating than picking and peeling an artichoke, never fear: I have included some simple recipes below. As with most things, start simple and build on your experiences so eventually you can unleash your creativity to make art of a ’choke. ARTICHOKE ROMAN STYLE This is a simpliﬁed version of what chef Henry Boudreaux did. 4 large California artichokes 1 lemon, cut in half Coarse salt to taste ¼ cup (OR 1 tablespoon dried) fresh mint leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon garlic, minced

½ cup olive oil, divided Wash artichokes; remove outer leaves until pale yellow leaves are exposed. Cut off top two inches and stems so artichokes will sit upright. Remove fuzzy centers and rub all surfaces with half of lemon. Add juice of remaining lemon to water and dip artichokes to preserve green color. Mix mint and garlic with ¼ cup olive oil and spoon into hollows of artichokes. Place in pan just large enough to hold them upright. Add water to depth of three inches, remaining olive oil and salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 25 minutes or until just tender. Cooking will vary with size of artichokes. Remove artichokes, drain and hold warm. Reduce cooking liquid until of a syrupy consistency. Spoon sauce over artichokes and serve. Yield: Makes 4 servings. GRILLED ARTICHOKES This recipe is perfect for the lazy cook, since all preparation can be done the previous day. The slightly smoky taste complements the nuttiness of the artichoke and no dip is necessary, although some might want to use additional marinade for dipping. 4 large artichokes ¼ cup balsamic vinegar ¼ cup water ¼ cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon minced ginger ¼ cup olive oil Slice artichoke tops off, crosswise. Trim stems. Boil or steam artichokes until bottoms pierce easily, or a petal pulls off easily. Drain artichokes. Cool. Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise and scrape out fuzzy center and any purple tipped petals. Mix remaining ingredients in a large plastic bag. Place artichokes in the bag and coat all sides of the artichokes. For best ﬂavor marinate in the mixture overnight in the refrigerator but should marinate at least one hour. Drain artichokes. Place cut side down on a grill over a solid bed of medium coals or gas grill on medium. Grill until lightly browned on the cut side, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn arti-

chokes over and drizzle some of the remaining marinade over the artichokes. Grill until petal tips are lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve hot or room temperature Yield: 8 servings, ½ artichoke each. CASANOVA’S APPASSIONATA DIP This is a dish to share with someone special. Get rid of your knives and forks and start the evening with ﬁnger food, an artichoke with a delicious dip. ½ cup sour cream ½ cup mayonnaise 1½ tablespoons chopped chives 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish ½ teaspoon salt chopped chives, garnish In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, horseradish and salt; chill. Garnish with additional chives. Serve with steamed artichoke(s). To prepare artichokes, wash and trim stem so artichoke stands upright. Cut off top quarter of artichoke; if desired, snip tips off remaining petals with kitchen scissors. Stand prepared artichoke in deep saucepan or pot with 3 inches of boiling water. Oil, lemon juice and seasonings may be added to cooking water, if desired. Cover and boil gently, checking water level occasionally, 25 to 40 minutes depending upon size or until a petal near the center pulls out easily. SOURCE: California Artichoke Advisory Board

PREPARING AND COOKING ARTICHOKE BOTTOMS Break off the stem of the artichoke. Pull the bottom leaves from the artichoke until all that remains is the soft cone. Trim any remaining green parts. Cut off the soft cone, leaving only the ’choke behind. Rub the base well with a cut lemon half to prevent discoloration. Trim the base to an even round shape, slightly ﬂattened at the base, and bevel the top edge. Rub again with the lemon and drop into a bowl of cold water with lemons. Fill a saucepan with enough water to simmer the bottoms. Season the water with salt and one quartered lemon. Simmer the artichokes until tender, 25 to 45

minutes until tender, then drain and remove the ’choke with a teaspoon. TRANSFORMING THISTLES I turned to six local chefs for advice on how to transform these thistles into composed dishes. I recruited chefs Jonathon Stranger, of Ludivine; Leo Novak, of The Viceroy Grille; Henry Boudreaux, of The Museum Cafe; Kurt Fleischfresser, of Vast; David Henry, of The Coach House, and Chris McCabe, of A Good Egg Dining group. Stranger made confit of artichoke with sunchoke puree and demi with some grilled beef tenderloin. He used the leaves to build a stock that was used to make the sun choke a demi-glace. Fleishfresser showed us, in detail, how to trim an artichoke before slicing the heart into mushroom-like slices that he sauteed in olive oil and butter with some herbs and served over pasta with grape tomatoes, onions and garlic and a creamy pan sauce. Henry blanched his artichokes, sauteed the hearts, and made an artichoke-celery puree with ParmigiannoReggiano. He blanched the artichokes following a classic technique storing the choke in water and flour then flavoring the blanching liquid with lemon juice, thyme, bay leaf and red pepper flakes. He served his sauteed hearts and puree with fork-tender salmon cooked in a circulator and fried capers. Boudreaux spent five months working in Italy, which inspired him to serve the artichoke as it is served in northern Italy — whole. Boudreaux said his experience having to pluck fresh vegetables, like artichokes, from the field to use in the restaurant where he worked instilled a profound respect of ingredients. “I wanted to keep the integrity of the artichokes,” he said. “I wanted people to know they’re eating an artichoke.” He poached his ’choke in lemon, marjoram, butter, olive oil and garlic. After straining the whole ingredients, he he added vegetable stock to the poaching liquid and reduced it down before adding some cream to thicken it. He plated the whole artichoke in the sauce with some fresh mint and basil, Manchego cheese, a touch of truffle oil and black salt. Novak did a classic French interpretation of sauteed artichoke hearts with golden chantarelle mushroom, white asparagus, Hollandaise sauce topped with peas and fried quail eggs.

FOOD TRUCK WEDNESDAY, Dunlap Codding, 609 W Sheridan, 607-8600.

A trip to Paris with all its architectural grandeur, expansive boulevards, monuments, secret gardens, charming restaurant and bistros, incredible light and art treasures serves as inspiration for a new series of paintings by Denise Duong. These narrative multi-media paintings will be featured at JRB Art at The Elms, 2810 N Walker, along with the surrealistic animal portraits of Timothy Chapman. Also on view at the gallery will be photographs from North and South Korea and China by Mark Edward Harris. Each of Denise Duong’s paintings tell a story. Some of them are short stories, others are experimental memories and themes. Her work has been featured in Southwest Art and in New American Paintings. Timothy Chapman describes his paintings as “Invented Natural History Illustration.” Visually the work borrows from various western traditions of depicting animals and plants, particularly old copperplate engravings, scientiﬁc

illustrations and Victorian animal portraiture. His rendering of animals expresses human irony and a surrealistic sensibility that is not available to the true scientist. Chapman has shown at the Florence Biennale. Most recently he was honored to be chosen by the U.S. State Department to show paintings in the U.S. embassy in Tunisia and to have his work become part of a permanent collection in Myanmar. Mark Edward Harris’s editorial photographs have appeared in Vanity Fair, Life, GEO, Conde Nast Traveler, The Los Angeles Times, Sunday Magazine and the London Sunday Times. He is the recipient of many awards including a CLIO, ACE, and Aurora Gold. His books include, “Faces of the Twentieth Century,” “Master Photographers and Their Work,” “The Way of the Japanese Bath,” “ Wander Lust,” “North Korea,” “South Korea,” and “Inside Iran.” Harris’ book, “North Korea” was named Photography Book of the Year at the 2013 International Photography Awards.

Featuring

Tallows

Oklahoma City’s own Tallows has returned to 33rd Street Studio to record a follow up to 2013’s “Memory Marrow.” Frontman Josh Hogsett (above) confirmed the new album and said Tyler Garcia will again handle the recording. Tucked away behind Edmond Music on the outskirts of Oklahoma City, 33rd Street Studio has slowly grown as a reliable spot for emerging musicians to cut their teeth on recording. I visited the warm, intimate space in August as Tallows recorded a track with Celadon City. The artists

diligently finished recording a song that you can hear for the first time on NewsOK. Tallows is a testament to just how much music talent is concentrated in Oklahoma. The band’s debut already had the confidence of a band far beyond its years. You can expect more glitchy electronic beauty as Tallows wraps up a sophomore album which is estimated for a mid-2015 release. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor
