ood and music belong together. That might be why Dave Cathey and I get along so well when we visit a place like Guyutes. Dave wrote the glowing cover story about the restaurant that’s quietly been helping bolster the dining options along Uptown 23rd. Believe the hype and don’t let the funny food names deter you. It’s the realest of deals and delicious on many levels. Dave and I both received vinyl records on our desks in early November. I got an Eagles album and Dave got a Grateful Dead one. Both included invitations to check out
Guyutes’ menu. We jumped at the opportunity and once the Thanksgiving holiday was over, we were inside Guyutes with eager stomachs. Concert posters filled the restaurant walls. Pretty much every Phish poster imaginable. It’s like a college dorm room wall was torn right off OU’s campus and cemented into the restaurant. Even the Austin City Limits poster features Phish as the headliner. Jarrod Friedel admitted that he only went to the festival to catch Phish play. Luckily, that same love for jam bands extended perfectly into the culinary world. I live down the street from Guyutes and consider it a challenge to not visit for dinner every day and order the Disco Biscuit. You’ll never want fried chicken from anywhere else. While we’re still on the topic of music and food, make sure to flip over to our story detailing LOOKatOKC’s favorite Okie albums of the year. It’s a pretty tasty read, too. I can only imagine what 2016 has in store for a lot of the artists we featured. John Moreland already cracked the Top 15 in Rolling Stone’s country albums of the year. Expect more news like that as the music year comes to an end. This is the second to last issue of the year. The next time you pick us up will probably be on New Year’s Eve. Here’s hoping your holidays are rad, warm and full of music and food.

t has been a long, eventful voyage from Opie to Ahab for Oklahoma-born actor-turned-director Ron Howard. After growing up on camera in such iconic acting roles as little Opie Taylor in “The Andy Griffith Show” and wholesome Richie Cunningham in “Happy Days,” Howard has charted a distinguished directing career that includes the Oscar-winning true-life tale “A Beautiful Mind” and four other films drawn from real-life material (“Apollo 13,” “Cinderella Man,” “Frost/Nixon” and “Rush”). For his sixth based-on-fact movie, Howard has selected a Great White Whale of a project called “In the Heart of the Sea,” based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s 2000 National Book Award-winning work of that title that charts the true 1820 voyage of the Nantucket whaling vessel Essex. At sea, the ship was mysteriously attacked and scuttled by a rogue, 80-foot sperm whale, leaving the crew

stranded and struggling for survival. It was a stirring adventure tale that 30 years later inspired author Herman Melville to pen his classic novel “Moby-Dick.” During a press conference with Howard and his cast, hosted by Warner Bros. at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on Central Park South, the filmmaker — known behind the camera for his acute attention to detail and passion for historical accuracy — discussed some of the physical rigors of shooting on the open seas near the Canary Islands. “I had long had an interest in doing a movie set in the ocean,” said Howard, a boyish 61 and still sporting the soft drawl of his Duncan-born roots. “I don’t love the ocean; it’s not a place I go for recreation. I’m a pale-skinned redhead, and I get sunburned out there. I’m a little frightened of the ocean, in fact. But there’s something about the power and mystery of it that’s always drawn me to the potential drama of it. Years ago I was trying to get a movie made about the Greenpeace ship Rainbow

Warrior, but I couldn’t get the resources together. Later I came very close to adapting Jack London’s story ‘The Sea Wolf,’ but that didn’t come together. “But this one embodied everything those two movies offered to me as drama and cinematic potential,” he said. “The screenplay was really strong. But probably most important was that Chris Hemsworth brought it to me. We had such a good experience on ‘Rush,’ I knew I liked working with him, and he was really born to play [the film’s stalwart first mate] Owen Chase.” In his quest for historical accuracy, Howard organized a rigorous regimen of sailing lessons for his crew of actors (along with Hemsworth, they included Tom Holland, Cillian Murphy, Ben Walker and Brendan Gleeson) to familiarize them with the arcane crafts and customs of 19th century seafaring men. “The authenticity of this movie was as important to me as it had been on others like, for example, ‘Apollo 13,’ where part of transporting the audience was to get the details right,” Howard said. “And whether audiences know right from wrong, they can kind of sense it. So sailor school was just as important as astronaut school in ‘Apollo 13’ or the boxing training in ‘Cinderella Man.’ ” Perhaps the most punishing aspect of Howard’s drive for accuracy was his requirement that cast members become as close to resembling starving crew members as possible. To achieve this, the director had his stars on a strict diet that gradually cut their caloric intake to 500 calories per day. “When we were on the ocean, every day I would apologize to everybody and say, ‘I know this is tough.’ But they would say, ‘Well, first of all, this is just a fraction of what the real guys that we’re playing went through, and secondly, it’s good for the performances. This is what we’re trying to play.’ “But in fact I did see that the life was kind of draining out of these guys day by day,” Howard said. “I remember one time saying to Ben Walker, “Ben we’re going to have to shoot this scene again,’ and Ben was just staring down, just lost and forlorn. “By the end of the shoot, when we were doing the stuff on the desert island, there were pathetic little snacks that would come out twice a day, maybe a cucumber with some olive oil and an almond on it,” he said. “But everybody was so ravenous. They’d get really quiet and would take it and go over and hunch down and eat it silently and kind of savor it. Like starving men. “I felt both terrible and fabulous about it,” Howard said with a mock-diabolical laugh that would do the hard-bitten Captain Ahab proud.

Film homage to ‘Moby Dick’ never quite hooks By Dennis King
C
all it Ishmael’s “origin story.” That ubiquitous comic-book term, suggesting a genesis that unfortunately doesn’t quite live up to the ultimate work of American literature that it inspired, is the narrative hook of Ron Howard’s uneven, waterlogged adventure “In the Heart of the Sea.” “Moby-Dick,” Herman Melville’s brooding, metaphysical novel of human frailty and obsession, is the lyrical literary interpretation of a fated 1820 sea voyage of the Nantucket whaling ship Essex. “In the Heart of the Sea” (based on Nathanial Philbrick’s award-winning 2000 nonfiction book) is the true-life account of the good ship Essex and its life-or-death tangle with a humongous and preternaturally angry white whale. So it’s somehow fitting that Howard’s earnest, craftsman-like movie comes across as far more prosaic than Melville’s mighty, existential opus (or for that matter than John Huston’s stormy 1956 screen adaptation of the novel, with Greg-

ory Peck as the mad Captain Ahab). Howard’s film pays a nod to Melville with a framing story set in 1850 in which the inquisitive young author (Ben Whishaw) is interviewing gnarly old salt Thomas Nickerson (Brendan Gleeson), the last living survivor of the Essex disaster. Flash back 30 years and Howard ably lays the story’s groundwork with vibrant images of bustling Nantucket village life, details of the lucrative whaling industry and of the Essex’s arduous voyage around Cape Horn into Pacific waters in search of elusive prey. The director, working from a script by Charles Leavitt (“Blood Diamond”), paints vivid portraits of the salty crew, which includes Tom Holland (the new Spider-Man) as a scrappy younger Nickerson, Benjamin Walker as the greenhorn captain and buff Chris Hemsworth (star of Howard’s “Rush”) as headstrong first mate Owen Chase, the essential hero of the piece. The early scenes, setting up the voyage and issuing arcane and damning details of the whaling
trade are workmanlike and interesting. But it’s in the second act, with the Essex chasing rumors of a “demon” whale, that the first cry of “Blow!” rings out and the story’s action-movie mechanics grind into action. That’s when we first glimpse the 2,000-pound monster — a splotchy grayand-white behemoth with a Godzilla roar — that dispatches the Essex with an angry swipe of its massive fluke and sends the swamped crew scuttling for their pitiful lives. The rest is a grueling survival tale of depravity, heroism and sordid hints of cannibalism that’s mildly thrilling, but only in a Saturday matinee fashion. Occasionally, Howard hints at the deeper themes that Melville found in the story (the fine line between obsession and madness, civilization versus raw nature, man’s defiance of God and other existential matters). But mainly, “In the Heart of the Sea” hews closely to standard action-movie conventions (with tons of clanking CGI effects) and trolls the surface more for stolid realism than for deeper metaphysical soundings.

ayne Coyne was sitting in the guest house of the Cyrus family’s Nashville, Tenn., home doing phone interviews to promote Friday’s release of “Heady Nuggs 20 Years After Clouds Taste Metallic 1994-1997,” a very long title with no commas or colons. But more about that later. Right now he was getting ready for Miley Cyrus’ 23rd birthday party, so the topic was the unlikely creative alliance between what is arguably the freakiest alternative band on the planet — Coyne’s Oklahoma City-based Flaming Lips — and a former Disney Channel tween star turned outrageous shock-pop act. The band and the controversial songstress just launched a limited tour together. So far, no Oklahoma date is planned. “Chicago was Thursday, I think Detroit was Saturday,” Coyne said. “Yeah, I think it’s really gonna work. It seemed like it’s gonna work. You never know until you get in front of people. But it’s just outrageous.” As for the fans who don’t go for this collaboration, Coyne said, “Well, I think there’s an uncomfortable area for people who are, say, like in their late 20s. People who probably were young enough to decide whether they liked Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana and then thought they were

cooler than that or something. “Now that she’s getting older and starting to do more interesting music, I think they still have a little bit of a block, you know, that Miley Cyrus is never gonna be cool, ’cause it’s just a generation gap thing. I think if you’re in your late 20s, I think it would still not be cool to like Miley Cyrus.” When the Lips are backing her, no one seems to notice the band because the audience is enthralled with flamboyant Cyrus, Coyne said. “Whether it’s the Flaming Lips back there or whether it’s robots, or whether it’s aliens from outer space back behind her, I mean they never take their eyes off of her for a second,” he said. “If you were around her just five minutes, you’d go, ‘Oh, I get it.’ She’s just so, she is so cool and so smart and so fun and so crazy, and just creative, you know? And bada--. I mean, she works harder than anybody else I’ve ever seen. She’ll just keep going and going and going and going. I mean, it’s just relentless. “And I try to remind people when they wanna be so mean to her, to ride her so bad and just ... Can’t you give her a break? It’s easy for people to hate and be mean, but she’ll win in the end, ’cause she’s not like that. She knows if she keeps trying and she keeps doing it, it’ll work. “Today’s her birthday,” he added. “You have to
remember, she’s only 23 years old.” She was just short of 3 when the Lips released their seventh album, “Clouds Taste Metallic” on Sept. 19, 1995. BLAST FROM THE PAST It’s considered one of their best, signalling a stylistic shifting of gears to a bigger, more refined sound that drew much critical praise at the time. All-Music compared it to the Beach Boys’ definitive LP “Pet Sounds,” raving that it was “a masterful collection that completes the Flaming Lips’ odyssey into the pop stratosphere.” The 20th anniversary package, “Heady Nuggs 20 Years After Clouds Taste Metallic 1994-1997,” is being released as a three-CD set and — for the Lips fanatics who can afford it — a numbered, limited edition five-LP box set on colored vinyl, that comes with three out-of-print T-shirts and three out-of-print posters designed by Coyne during the “Clouds” era. (The numbered LP sets will be available only online at the Lips store.) The CD set will feature the complete “Clouds Taste Metallic” album on one disc, a second disc containing a collection of previously unreleased, promo-only and compilation-only tracks gathered for the first time in one package, and a third disc presenting a previously unreleased live perfor-

The live show is titled “Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles.” “It’s been around for a while,” Coyne said. “We’ve had it and it’s been circulated out there, but we’ve never liked it because it just never sounded very good.” But ever-evolving technology has come with new gadgetry, or, as Coyne describes it, “these new computer plug-in things,” that enabled Coyne and company to penetrate the collateral noise of a bad sound board recording and allow the listener to hear what magic then-guitarist Ronald Jones and the rest of the band were conjuring. “I think we used about five or six of these plugins, but we didn’t like change any of the recording,” Coyne noted. And that sonically improved club show recording was what actually inspired the creation of the entire “Clouds Taste Metallic” anniversary set, Coyne admits. “It made us think, ‘Well, why don’t we put a package together around this,’ because really, to us anyway, it felt like a new thing we were putting into the world,” he said. He also likes to imagine younger Lips fans listening to it and saying, ‘Oh my God, they were doing this back in 1994, ’95 and ’96.’ That, I think, really gave us the big reason. And I think the other reason is there’s just a lot of curiosity and now kind of exaggerated mythology around Ronald Jones, and whatever happened to him and what is happening with him and what do we think about all that.” WHERE IS RONALD JONES? “Clouds Taste Metallic” is the last album to feature Jones, before the gifted guitarist inexplicably packed up his instrument and left the band. “That part of it, I think, is still kind of a mystery, even to us,” Coyne said. He remembers Jones seemed increasingly unsatisfied with the direction the band was taking, and the constant gigs and recording sessions seemed to be taking a toll on him. He seemed to lack the dedication and drive of Coyne, drummer and multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd and bassist Michael Ivins. Perhaps the release of the anniversary package will cause Jones and the band to get back in touch. “Until we know, I think the mystery is the thing,” Coyne said. “He was a very nice person, but difficult as a person to work with. There was a lot of indecision and a lot of regret, and he was difficult to record with and to play with.” But the live recording and the disappearing guitarist weren’t the only reasons behind the creation of the anniversary set. “I think Scott (Booker, Flaming Lips manager) really liked the idea of this 20th anniversary,” Coyne said. “And we like doing repackaging. I think it turns new people on to your stuff, and there’s a lot of collectors out there who like this sort of thing.” A still from the set of the “Bad Days” music video shoot.

JOHN CALVIN ABNEY, “BETTER LUCK” “Better Luck” is a rollicking rock ’n’ roll record at its loudest and lonely folk music when it settles down. For Abney, it’s as much the first chapter in his career as a songwriter as it is the eulogy of the guitar-slinging folkie we pegged him as in the past. It is, as Abney put it, “about love, loss, life, death. Good decisions, bad decisions.” Notably, it bears the trademarks of producer John Moreland en masse: sparse, subtle instrumental accents, firsttake vocals in some instances and an allowance for

But for the hardscrabble descriptions in Crain’s songs, the production here is often chipper and lush, a soothing balm of pedal steel guitar and rousing violin play. “Elk City” stands out as one of the album’s best songs, capturing a decisive moment in the life of a woman who wants out of the town along I-40. — Matt Carney DEERPEOPLE, “THERE’S STILL TIME FOR US TO DIE” It was years in the making but well worth the wait. Oklahoma City-via-Stillwater sextet DEERPEOPLE makes pop music so party-ready that it makes Andrew W.K. look like a docile, sleeping puppy. The band has successfully bottled its bombastic live show into something you can blast on repeat. — NP ELECTRIC RAG BAND, “MY SIDE” Father-son Tulsa duo Electric Rag Band is in its 21st year, and “My Side” offers something from popular music over that spectrum of time and beyond. Album opener and title track “My Side” is a ’90s rock-influenced garage blues tune that quickly gives way to the finger-picked punk vibe of “Do This to Me.” The record is an exhausting exercise in genre-hopping and offers more twists than you can count on a single listen. “My Side” is a good all-around album pick for fans of blues or bluegrass, rock or rockabilly. — BC JACOB FRED JAZZ ODYSSEY, “THE BATTLE FOR EARTH” Need to add some more weird to your music diet? Call up the hooded jazz miscreants of JFJO. Chris Combs, Josh Raymer and Brian Haas make jazz sound anything but boring on this energetic live album that’s paired with a supernatural comic book. — NP BEAU JENNINGS, “THE VERDIGRIS” Some incarnation of Beau Jennings, whether solo, with his band the Tigers, or as frontman of now-defunct band Cheyenne, has released a record every couple of years since 2005, but “The Verdigris” came on slow. It’s fantastical, with multiple narrators and styles (owing in part to the timeline of its construction), and all songs were inspired in some form by Will Rogers, the record a companion to Jennings’ documentary film of the same name. But you can ignore the existence of the film and still think this is Jennings’ best album to date. “The Verdigris” is complete: poignant and weighted, somehow more honest than its fiction would imply and without any of the tongue-in-cheek humor present on many of Jennings’ other
recordings. At times it’s like looking through the window at Rogers’ life as it happened, and others, it sounds like exactly what it is: the story of someone’s boyhood hero. — BC L.T.Z., “BARCELONA ’92” Rapper L.T.Z. presents as a sort of Oklahoma City everykid. His north-side family is tight-knit, he’s hyper-cognizant of peer pressure, church is a big part of his life — perhaps more so socially than spiritually — and so are poverty, death and loss. Like Kendrick Lamar’s debut “good kid, m.A.A.d. city,” “Barcelona ’92” captures what it’s like to grow up in a community that’s at odds with you. It’s also smoothly produced; a gorgeous, oldschool production that’s full of warm backing vocal samples, subtle saxophone groans and crisp, sizzling guitar licks, the kind of stuff that UGK favored in the late ’90s when the Texas duo had hit its stride. Between that and the universal subject matter, “Barcelona ’92” will prove as timeless as the basketball team it’s named for. — MC DAN MARTIN, “HOKA HEY” Dan Martin’s tunes would be at home on any Mayberry radio station. The Tulsa artist is one of Oklahoma’s best-kept secrets, and I couldn’t get enough of his laidback folky tunes. “Hoka Hey” is full of the kind of tender ballads that could shut up everyone at a campfire. — NP JD MCPHERSON, “LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL” If you let it, “Let the Good Times Roll” cuts deeper with every listen, touching on vintage homages and complex production, all laced with biting insults, paranoid confessions and power struggles. All the classic rock ’n’ roll elements are here but presented in a way that makes them startling. Come for the Little Richard-esque vocals, but stay for the unexpected depth and moodiness cloaked in a party. On “Let the Good Times Roll,” McPherson is Oklahoma music’s happiest malcontent. — BC

The song “Black Wall Street” not only is about the terror and doom inflicted by the Tulsa Race Riot, it actually tries to evoke such feelings within the listener. On both levels, it succeeds. With the exception of the groaning, dour ambient track “Abuse Arcade,” the band’s first long player mostly deals in a steadily trudging, broad-backed post-rock that’s spiked with sweet Jesus and Mary Chain-style vocal melodies sung by Bryce Chambers of the band Ester Drang. It’s powerful, deeply satisfying comfort music from dudes with a little dark side to ’em. — MC OTHER LIVES, “RITUALS” Other Lives tours out of necessity. How else do you hit venues around the world? That travel impacted frontman Jesse Tabish’s songwriting and made for the band’s most immediate, cerebral album to date. Who knows where the band is headed next? I can’t wait to listen. — NP PILGRIM, “EASY PEOPLE” There’s so many stellar singer-songwriters based in Tulsa, and Pilgrim’s Beau Roberson should sit near the tip top. You couldn’t add any more heart to an album without contacting a surgeon. “Easy People” is an easy listen, and it’s as welcoming as the canine that graces the album’s cover. — NP JOHNNY POLYGON, “I LOVE YOU, GOODNIGHT” Johnny Polygon is a parental advisory sticker with legs. The Tulsa-rooted rapper name checks dead rock stars and his affinity for psychedelics with the power of a poet and the wit of a comedian. Polygon will make you laugh, cry and, most importantly, dance all night. — NP SARDASHHH, “OK.KEYS” Sardashhh’s hip-hop instrumentals put forth a warmth that can only really result from his production method’s analog roots. Any given song results from hours of scouring thrift stores for records, sampling bits and pieces that catch his ear, and then weaving instrumentation throughout in a layering process until a complete beat takes shape. Press play, then smile and nod along until you’re jolted by a calculated shift in beat or dissonant piano jangle. “ok.keys” is soulful and keyboard-driven, at times evocative of moments from your favorite R&B albums, but less definable in its attractiveness. It’s a fine example of what a capable producer/composer with respect for his medium can do. — BC Top, Tallows. Bottom, Sports “Naked All the Time” album cover.

When its not busy pounding away like Nirvana on its 2015 release “Pop Songs and Other Ways to Die,” the band casually reveals a mischievous slacker charm that’s evocative of other great ’90s bands like Butthole Surfers and Pavement. Stick around for the whole thing and you even get a Weezer-style alt-rock ballad, “Horrible Youth,” tucked away as a pleasantly surprising wishy-washy penultimate track. — MC SPORTS, “NAKED ALL THE TIME” “Naked All the Time” caught me by surprise. It’s a floral, funny and earnest record of funky bass play and delicate guitar lines that sounds, well, like no first effort I’ve ever heard from a band of young locals. And while some may hear kitsch in its many luxurious synthesizer tones and programmed drumbeats, “Naked All the Time” has held up really well for me after months of listening, I think mostly due to its exceptional songwriting, which focuses on relationships in their most precarious moments, when all the possibilities are there but nothing’s for certain. Oh, and did I mention? The whole thing sounds as good in your car and at a party as it does in your headphones. — MC TALLOWS, “WAIST DEEP” Tallows made a stellar sophomore record. “Waist Deep” is mathy and glitchy but also organic, composed and completely listenable and coherent from start to finish. It’s difficult to pinpoint sonic actualization in an era where everyone makes records all the time, but “Waist Deep” shifted Tallows, for me, from a young buzz band with a familiar premise (that of early Modest Mouse and the tougher origins of emo and indie rock) to one of the most interesting and diverse bands in the state, delivering its own concept with confidence. — BC JACOB TOVAR AND THE SADDLE TRAMPS, SELF-TITLED Jacob Tovar and the Saddle Tramps do the dance hall more justice than any other Oklahoma artist right now, by leaps and bounds. Tovar’s debut album is a tribute to classic and outlaw country, to be sure — it even opens with a cover of Willie Nelson’s “If You’ve Got the Money.” But Tovar’s original songs and, more importantly, his devastatingly charming vocal delivery, make the whole album an unabashed joy, respectful of its roots while standing on its own. Irresistible, and no two-stepping required. — BC

everal contenders with Oklahoma ties will compete for golden gramophones at the 58th annual Grammy Awards. The nominees for the 2016 Grammy Awards, which will air live Feb. 15 on CBS, were revealed this month. The event will be at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Already a seven-time Grammy winner, Carrie Underwood, who hails from Checotah, is nominated for best country solo performance for her hit “Little Toy Guns,” from her 2014 compilation “Greatest Hits: Decade #1.” Blake Shelton, an Ada native, and Ashley Monroe are up for best country duo/group performance for their chart-topping duet “Lonely Tonight,” from Shelton’s 2014 album “Bringing Back the Sunshine.” Monroe’s album “The Blade,” which was produced by Oklahoma native Vince Gill and Justin Niebank, is nominated for best country album.

Vocal group Pentatonix, which includes former University of Oklahoma student Kirstin Maldonado, is nominated for best arrangement instrumental, or a cappella, for its voice-only adaptation of the holiday classic “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” from its smash seasonal album “That’s Christmas to Me.” Christian trio Point of Grace, which includes Norman native Denise Jones, is up for best roots gospel album for “Directions Home (“Songs We Love, Songs You Know”). Tulsa native Ryan Tedder is nominated as one of the producers of Taylor Swift’s “1989,” which is up for one of the top Grammys, album of the year. The 2015 Broadway cast recording for the revival of “The King and I,” featuring Tony-winning Elk City native Kelli O’Hara, is nominated for best musical theater album. The soundtrack to the hit musical-comedy movie “Pitch Perfect 2,” which features Muskogee native Ester Dean, is nominated for best compilation soundtrack for visual media. Along with Dean’s song “Crazy Youngsters,” the soundtrack
also features medleys of Underwood’s “Before He Cheats,” Hanson’s “MMMBop” and Gene Autry’s “Here Comes Santa Claus.” The Glen Campbell documentary “I’ll Be Me,” which features the country music legend performing a new live version of his seminal hit “Wichita Lineman,” written by Elk City native Jimmy Webb, also is nominated for best compilation soundtrack for visual media. Other nominations that have Oklahoma ties: Art directors Sarah Dodds, Shauna Dodds and Dick Reeves are nominated for best recording package for Asleep at the Wheel’s “Still The King: Celebrating The Music Of Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys,” a tribute to the Western swing pioneers who got their start in Tulsa. And singer-songwriter Audra Mae, a Putnam City High School graduate, co-wrote (with Mitch Allan, Jason Evigan and former “Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi) Kelly Clarkson’s hit “Heartbeat Song” from her 2015 album “Piece by Piece.” Clarkson is nominated for best pop solo performance for “Heartbeat Song” and best pop vocal album for “Piece by Piece.” To see the full list of nominees, go to www. grammy.com.

Filling in the missing pieces for a flourishing Deep Deuce By Steve Lackmeyer
D
eep Deuce, reduced to handful of boarded-up buildings, empty lots and abandoned surface parking 20 years ago, is back and thriving with thousands of residents and the sort of scattering of restaurants, pubs and shops that make for an idealized urban neighborhood. No other area of downtown has mastered the mix as well as Deep Deuce. Small grocery with a deli and an offering of organics attractive to younger professionals? Check. Coffee shop? Check. Neighborhood restaurants and pubs? Check. Doctor’s offices? Check. Salon? Check. Fitness center? Check. Pizzeria and burger joints? Check. Clothing store? Check. Upscale hotel? Check. What Deep Deuce lacks is the sort of entrance that announces one’s arrival, like in nearby Bricktown. Street lighting is insufficient, and portions of NE 2 and Walnut Avenue are terribly dark at night. Like Bricktown immediately to the south, amidst rapid development the smaller details have been forgotten. The Deep Deuce steering committee, which works with Downtown Oklahoma City, is attempting to address some of these weaknesses with a fundraising campaign to pay for a lit, entrance sign at the BNSF Railway viaduct at NE 2, just east of E.K. Gaylord Boulevard, improved pedestrian lighting and murals showcasing the area’s history. It’s a start — a good start. I’ve inquired with the city as to why there is a scarcity of lighting along Walnut Avenue, the busiest street in Deep Deuce that crosses the middle of the NE 2 corridor. Street lamps removed along NE 2 in front of the Aloft Hotel were never restored, and the lamp post bases still jut out from the sidewalk. When the first apartments were developed in Deep Deuce by Texas-based First Worthing in 2000, the company promised to create a walkway with historic monuments telling the story of legends Charlie Christian, Jimmy Rushing and Ralph Ellison.
The developers were honored with Dean A. McGee awards that next year, failed to keep their promises, sold the apartments for a nice profit and never returned (I’ll note Craig Brown, who really made the project possible and also was the first risk taker in the neighborhood, inexplicably was never given such honors. But that’s a different column). Beyond the lighting, entrance sign and murals, other small details remain to be addressed. I’ve long wondered why street furnishings purchased by Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. through the business improvement district and replaced as part of Project 180 were never relocated to Deep Deuce, which lacks such amenities. I look at the Oklahoma Department of Transportation easement that runs north and south through the neighborhood, east of Walnut Avenue, and I wonder why portions of the empty land can’t be turned into the pathway once promised by First Worthing, or at least a volleyball or basketball court. Deep Deuce is developing a good track record of tackling details missed in its rapid growth. The city’s water utilities department balked at making a fix when I asked a couple of years ago why they created a fenced-in sidewalk grate that served as an impediment to pedestrian traffic on NE 2. Residents and developers teamed up and got the job done. Likewise, developer Richard McKown has taken on the task of taking an unusable portion of a largely forgotten pocket park at NE 2 and Central Avenue and turned it into a dog park. Over the next few weeks, meanwhile, jazz and blues will return to Deep Deuce as its restaurants and bars commit to featuring live music every week. Deep Deuce hasn’t quite arrived yet — a couple more big developments are set to take place before full maturation is reached. But the timing is near when the gaps will be addressed and Oklahoma City will be able to boast it has the sort of downtown neighborhood other cities of its size only dream about.

ituated on a stretch of the historic Route 66, the section of NW 39 known as The Strip is an eclectic mix of gay bars and mechanic shops just off Interstate 44. For decades, there hasn’t been much going on during the daytime on this stretch of NW 39. The 39th Street District Association, made up of local business owners and community members, is trying to change that, and hopes to lure new businesses to the area. While there are bars, a car wash, a muffler shop and a few other assorted businesses on the block, there’s no place to get coffee or shop during the day, said Ginger McGovern, secretary for the 39th Street District Association. “We don’t really have the businesses that are open during the daytime because people see it as a nighttime destination,” McGovern said. “We’ve got to get people to take a chance on us.”

GROWING DIVERSITY The Boom, a bar, restaurant and theater
that often features drag queen performances at 2218 NW 39, tried to make a go of opening for lunch for about three years when it debuted in 2009, but couldn’t make the numbers work, said co-owner John Gibbons. “We tried to open for lunch and had a full staff down here during the day, but there’s just not a lot of people around here during the day,” Gibbons said. Sunday Gospel Brunch at The Boom is one of the biggest daytime events on the Strip today that draws a crowd to NW 39. Drag queens Kitty Bob Aimes and Norma Jean Goldenstein preside over two church-service themed live shows each Sunday over brunch and a Bloody Mary bar, typically to a packed house. Brett Young, who performs in a choir robe, horn-rimmed glasses and curlers as alter-ego Kitty Bob, administers shots of peppermint schnapps as “communion” to brunch-goers on their birthdays during the shows. The brunch draws a diverse crowd, Young said. “I’ve had 90-year-olds come up and have a shot,” he said. “We want everyone in the community to feel welcome.”

Since The Boom opened on the street six years ago, Gibbons said he’s seen a noticeable drop in crime, which he credits somewhat to the diligence of business owners on the street. “We were having (a) tough time with transients at first, and we’ve seen that improve substantially over the last year,” he said. “We’ve seen the customer levels, volumes of customers and diversity grow substantially. So from that perspective, we think there’s a bright future for 39th Street.” REBRANDING NW 39 In the 1970s, a small piece of NW 39 west of Pennsylvania evolved into Oklahoma City’s gay district, with a row of clubs that attracted a clientele from across the Southwest. “This was pre-Internet dating, and so the way people meet and use the area has kind of changed,” said Kim Cooper-Hart, who oversees Oklahoma City’s Business Improvement District program and who has been working with the 39th Street District Association. Craig Poos, president of the 39th Street District Association, said he’d like to see businesses like coffee shops and drugstores on the block mixed in with the clubs. Still, the area has more history and charm than
LOOKATOKC.COM
most people realize, he said. “I love the fact that it is one of the older established business districts,” he said. “It’s been operating with the night clubs long before there was a Bricktown. Its longevity speaks volumes.” Poos owns three night spots on NW 39, including The Wreck Room and Phoenix Rising. Earlier this year, he opened a third club next door to the Wreck Room, Apothecary 39, which features jazz and craft cocktails in a 1920-vintage brick building that was originally a pharmacy. One of the things 39th Street District Association is focusing on now is rebranding the area. The organization has hired the local marketing firm Ghost to help freshen up the area’s image. The neighborhood sponsored its first community festival, 39th Street Jazzy Fest, in May, a family-friendly event with live music. The group also is looking at ways to capitalize on the area’s history as part of the old Route 66 that could involve partnering with other neighborhoods. “We’ve never done any kind of branding or marketing at all,” McGovern said. WELCOMING ALL The NW 39 Street group wants to see better
lighting and things like benches to make the area more attractive to pedestrians. Once a four-lane road, this part of NW 39 has recently been narrowed to two lanes, making it more pedestrian-friendly. There now are bike lanes. McGovern said she wants to see the area keep its identity as the city’s gay district, but she wants to make it attractive to everyone in the city. “We want it to be a gay district that people can be proud of,” she said. “We want it to be attractive to all parts of the community.” Cooper-Hart said it has been rewarding to see NW 39’s diverse mix of business owners come together to try and improve the neighborhood. “One of the things that has been wonderful there is to see people who own muffler shops and bars are able to get together and talk about a common interest,” she said. “Most of these people hadn’t ever talked together; it was a great step to being more neighborly.” Jon Priebe, who owns Priebe’s Auto Clinic, 4014 N Barnes, has owned a business in the area for about 40 years and is treasurer for the 39th Street District Association. “I have to be involved because my business is here,” he said.

ith three winter market events this year in downtown Oklahoma City, many shoppers are ditching the mall in search of local wares for the holiday shopping season. The Holiday Pop-up Shops returned to NW 10 and Hudson on Black Friday, featuring 35 independent shops set up in geodesic dome tents. The event also includes the Katiebug’s hot chocolate trailer and a Christmas tree lot managed by Bishop John Carroll School. Shops rotate weekly out of the 314-squarefoot tents set up on one of the last undeveloped pieces of vacant land in Midtown. Organizer Allison Barta Bailey begins planning for the holiday shopping event in early summer, lining up local retailers to fill shops with unique wares. Bailey believes that the stress-free atmosphere of the event is the essence of Pop-Up Shops. “I think people come because it’s more
relaxing, less stressful than going to the mall,” she said. This year, Cargo Room, a local traveling fashion boutique manned by Oklahoma City resident Heather Parsons, is bringing its selection of women’s clothing and accessories to the Holiday Pop-Up Shops. Parsons hopes to expand her local following and help people knock out some of their Christmas shopping and perhaps even buy a few gifts for themselves. “It’s just a great way to meet new people,” Parsons said. “This is the best way to shop. I say skip the mall.” Also new to the Holiday Pop-Up Shops this year is Paper Society Oklahoma City, a cooperative effort of six local paper artists. The Paper Society shop will feature locally designed gift cards, stationery and other paper crafts, as well as some items that are handmade. Natalie Spencer, owner of Freckle Creative Studio, said the papercrafts give holiday gifts a more personal touch than mass-produced

items that can be bought at chain stores. “When you buy from us, you are supporting a local business and everything that we’re doing,” she said. Stacey Carter, owner of the gift boutique Cedarburg Square, has a brick-and-mortar store in Bethany, but is setting up shop at the Holiday Pop-Ups to raise her profile. “It’s about getting the word out to different people that typically don’t shop with you,” she said. Cedarburg is stocking its dome space this year with many seasonal gifts and items like local jelly, gourmet candy and Christmas decorations — gifts priced under $15 are big sellers, Carter said. Prodigal’s Winter Shoppes at Myriad Gardens also opened in November. The event, featuring a “crystal village” of boutiques, includes vendors like Anabelle’s, Calamity Jane’s, Coco Flow, Exhibit C and Full Circle Bookstore. Sponsor Prodigal LLC, which owns the OKC Energy FC soocer team, does not track attendance at the event, but about 12,000 people rode the carousel at last year’s event, said Josh Evans, vice president of communications for Prodigal. At only $1 per ride, the carousel rides are a big draw for parents, he said. “Our goal is to help add something to the mix for those who come downtown,” Evans said. “It’s adding in a shopping element that helps add value to what is going on downtown.”

DECEMBER 18 • 9 P.M. Jabee will lead an all-star lineup for Gift Raps 2, the Oklahoma City rapper’s annual food and clothing drive to support CityCare OKC at 51st Street Speakeasy, 1114 NW 51, in Oklahoma City. The event will also include performances from Josh Sallee, Beetyman, Huckwheat, Trash TV, DJ Keilo and DJ Reaper. Jabee, whose 2013 single “Stephanie” was produced by El-P of Run The Jewels, spent part of his childhood homeless, and his family often found themselves accepting charity during the holiday season. Those memories are still fresh for Jabee, and with Gift Raps 2, he wants to help others the way others helped him. “Two years ago, I served people turkey and stuffing at the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner,” Jabee said. “I went to help
with that and I loved it, and it reminded me of when I was younger, when we would go to the free dinners and accept Thanksgiving baskets from the Jesus House, because we didn’t have anything. And while I was volunteering, I was seeing my friends and people I know, people I rolled with. I kept thinking, ‘Man, I can do more.’” For the first Gift Raps event in 2014, Jabee collected nonperishable food items and necessary winter gear like socks and gloves, then loaded up a truck and offered it to charities. This year, he is teaming in advance with CityCare OKC, a nonprofit organization offering food, shelter, housing and life skills training for the homeless. Jabee said he hopes his efforts can make a difference for people who are struggling during the holidays.

DECEMBER 23 • 5:30 P.M. In “Jingle Bell Rocks!,” director Mitchell Kezin delves into the minds of some of the world’s legendary Christmas music fanatics and hits the road to hang with his holiday heroes – including hip-hop legend Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons of RUND.M.C., The Flaming Lips’ frontman Wayne Coyne, filmmaker John Waters, bebopper Bob Dorough, L.A. DJ and musicologist Dr. Demento, and Calypso legend The Mighty Sparrow. In his search for the 12 best, underappreciated Christmas songs ever recorded, Kezin both asks and answers the question, “Why, when Christmas rolls around, are we still stuck cozying up with Bing Crosby under a blanket of snow?”
Equal parts social history, pop culture pilgrimage, and revealing character study, “Jingle Bell Rocks!” follows this motley crew of merry misfits as they confront the Christmas music mainstream, reinventing the seasonal soundtrack for the 21st century. With rollicking live performances, intimate interviews and a kaleidoscope of touching and rare archive footage, “Jingle Bell Rocks!” is a cinematic sleigh ride into the strange and sublime universe of alternative Christmas music. It’s also a mix-tape of 12 of the weirdest, wildest, most poignant Christmas songs you’ve never heard.
