With a new album produced by a punk legend,Skating Polly is putting greased wheels under its career
Many Oklahoma artists played multiple sets at the South By Southwest Music Festival, either hopping from stage to stage or sticking around to play backup, but Skating Polly probably set a record for Oklahoma bands at SXSW 2013. Be-fore the event fi nished last month, Kelli Mayo,
13, and Peyton Bighorse, 17, played seven diff erent shows, including a private industry show for Virgin Mobile. As Gene Triplett’s cover story makes clear, Skating Polly is operating at a diff erent level than most teenage acts in 2013. Their sound is the result of a superb, specialized musi-cal education, one that introduced the duo to some of the best alternative music of the past 40 years. As they played songs from “Lost Wonderfuls” at the Virgin Mobile showcase, one of the enthusiastic fans in attendance also happened to be one of Mayo and Bighorse’s biggest idols: Lori Barbero of the legendary Babes In Toyland. Barbero, who moved to Austin fi ve years ago, played drums in the Minneapolis-based Babes In Toyland from 1987 to 2001. She said she sees a lot of Babes In Toyland in Skating Polly. “It’s so great — it’s very primal,” Barbero said. “I was thinking: I didn’t start playing drums until I was the age of the two ladies put together. I was like, 26 or 27? What they’re doing is something that’s actually real: A lot of people don’t even play instru-ments anymore.” Bighorse and Mayo have worked hard, played constantly and are now reaping the rewards, and LOOKatOKC is honored to have Skating Polly on its cover as yet another symbol of the vibrancy of the local rock scene. They started early, so hopefully we’ll have Skating Polly around for a few decades and they can inspire the next generation of Oklahoma rockers.

Let’s get diverse. Okla-homa City is deep into event season and there is something for everyone to enjoy. From hip-hop to folk, garage rock to
blues. Pick your poison, ingest en-thusiastically.
» April 13: BRONCHO, The Chlöes, and John Wayne’s B*tches at the Opolis, 113 Crawford, Norman. If you aren’t familiar with The Chlöes yet, get on it. These ladies rock hard, you can’t beat this bill. BRONCHO, recently signed to Fairfax Records, have been treating Oklahomans with multiple spring shows, and I’m not complain-ing. Don’t skip this one. Listen to The Chlöes here:
» April 13: Luella and the Sun, Fiawna Forté at Kamps 1310 Lounge. Luella and the Sun will be visiting from Nashville and I have a feeling that they are going to be ex-tremely famous in the next year. Mu-sic Connection Magazine described them in geographic terms as “fever-
ish, bluesy jungle territory.” Fiawna Forté, a Tulsa native, will be bringing her blues to Oklahoma City for this special show. This event is for charity, benefi ting Variety Care of Oklahoma. Five dol-lar donation suggested at the door. For more on Luella and the Sun, scan here:
» April 13: ACM@UCO Rocks Bricktown, free. This is a two-day festival showcasing some of the
best Oklahoma bands that have emerged from the Academy of
Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklaho-
ma. Headliners include Chic featuring Nile Rodgers,
and The Mutating Cell Ensemble, a produc-
tion directed by Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips. The full schedule has not been released
yet, however I can tell you not to miss Fos, Chateau, Kaitlin Butts, Oklahoma Cloud Factory, Tallows, Kali Ra, Sebastian Rommel and many, many more. RSVP to the event here:
» April 15: “Tasting Notes” One Year Anniversary at Urban Win-eworks in the Plaza District. If you have never listened, “Tasting Notes” is a show that airs on 91.7 KOSU/The Spy every Monday night, where wine guru and music fan Clayton Bahr pairs wine with music. At this anniversary party, you will have the opportunity to sit down and take part in the pairing just as you would at home. After the show airs at 8 p.m., Mont Lyons, Ali Har-ter, and Junebug Spade will perform. Con-gratulations, Clayton. RSVP here:
» April 20: Skating Polly, Jabee, and Depth & Current at Guestroom Records, Norman, Free. Celebrating Record Store Day, these three phenomenal acts will be performing in the back alley behind Guestroom Records. Skating Polly just released their sophomore album, “Lost Wonderfuls” on April 3, and they are on a roll. This punk girl duo recently signed a contract with SQE, and it is likely that their local shows will become fewer and farther between. Hip-hop artist Jabee recently released his new single “Stephanie,” and he seems to be surging on the strength of that collaboration with El-P. Listen to Skating Polly’s new album here:

Since early February you’ve probably seen the videos in your Facebook feeds of people wearing costumes and air-humping each
other to what sounds like work crews operating power drills on the surface of some cartoonish planet. The song is “Harlem Shake,” recorded by Mad Decent signee Baauer, a 23-year-old DJ— and now that Billboard incorporates digital factors (like YouTube views and the amount of plays through streaming services such as Rdio and Spotify) into its weekly chart placements, it’s earned its place not just among, but atop pop music’s heavy hitters. “Harlem Shake” actually held the top spot on the Hot 100 chart for a few weeks before it was supplanted by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop,” another song with an enormous online presence, though the Seattle-based rapper’s success came from a clever music video and strong appeal to middle-class white culture. While the “Harlem Shake” video fad caught on like wildfi re, I wouldn’t call it purely “organic,” because fans were encouraged by Baauer’s label to make their own videos, for-profi t websites
with fi scal interest in “Harlem Shake” clips spread, and corporations fed on the meme, all of which blew the song up across the Internet. And while “Thrift Shop” and “Harlem Shake” currently occupy two of the top slots on the Hot 100 (“Thrift Shop” has now been there for six non-consecutive weeks), a man who once sold more than two and a half million albums in single week with ’N Sync hovers in third now that YouTube claims more than two billion music video views every day. The last few years taught us that a multimedia-friendly route is the fastest one to a truly ubiquitous hit single — “Gangnam Style,” “Friday,” “Somebody That I Used to Know,” and “Call Me Maybe” all benefi ted from average-Joe YouTube covers, parody videos, and the like— and commercial pop’s most consistent artists are trying new tricks to keep up. Among these tricks are big changes to their sounds and the way artists make videos.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, “SUIT & TIE.”
The previously alluded to Justin Timberlake might wind up with the best-selling album of 2013 in “The 20/20 Experience,” which hit shelves the middle of last month. The opulent “Suit & Tie” sounds like JT’s bidding for nouveau riche sponsorships instead of building on the mass-audience R&B he made with Timbaland in the early aughts on songs like “Cry Me a River.” Its black-and-white video is all Rat Pack sheen, as if to say that Macklemore can have his thrift shop, but Justin’s going to don his best tuxedo and lead a twelve-piece on Vegas’s classiest stage, luxury brand-style.
ROBIN THICKE, “BLURRED LINES.”
The one thing missing from “The 20/20 Experience” was that sly, simple chunk of ear candy. Timberlake left that market open and, of all people, Robin Thicke fi lled it. T.I. and Pharrell —two of Timberlake’s favorite collaborators— jump in on this one, the former with a mid-song verse as unrepentantly horndog as the latter’s choice of Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up” as a sample. “Blurred Lines” inspired a pair of videos, the diff erences between them being the appearance of uncensored nudity. When YouTube found out about the “unrated version” the service immediately shifted it over to Vevo (another Google-owned video host), though because Vevo views are incorporated into the updated Billboard methodology, the #THICKE Twitter hashtag that fl ashes across the video’s screen intermittently will reach a wider audience.
BEYONCÉ, “BOW DOWN”
AND “I BEEN ON.”
Queen B announced a new record for 2013 and if these two tracks are any indicator, it sounds like she’s done with her happy marriage as an overarching theme and on to establishing a sense of genuine-ness that’s rooted in her native city. Judging by these two songs though, that sentiment clashes wildly with their trumped-up Texas trill sounds, which suggest she’s vying for world domination. “Bow Down” is a two-minute introduction to “I Been On,” which has already leaked in the form of a Houston-centric remix version featuring Bun B, Slim Thug, Willie D, Scarface, Z-Ro, and Lil Keke. Compared to “Check On It,” her purer-pop collaboration with Bun B and Slim Thug from 2005, it sounds as deliriously grandiose as a Kanye West track.

Festival apparel will be dependent on weatherL A C E Y L E T Tlooks in okc
“Looks in OKC” focuses on fashion — inside and outside of Oklahoma.
LACEY LETT
Norman Music Festival is April 25-27 — the sixth year for this fast-grow-ing local music fest. So what
will you be wearing to this multi-day festival? April is tricky. I’ve been to every NMF, and it’s been a completely diff erent temperature each year. One year it can be ideal for shorts, but the next will make you want to break out the parka.
The temperature seems to drop pretty drastically when the sun goes down at this time of year, so layering is a good option. Opt for something casual and comfy. You can’t go wrong with a V-neck, jacket, shorts and boots. We’re in
Oklahoma, so you’re likely going to have a pair of cowgirl boots. If you are looking for more of a feminine statement, try a maxi dress with sandals. Remember, you’ll be out-side for hours at a time, so opt for a dress with less strings and criss crosses to avoid tan lines. Pair with a comfy pair of gladiator sandals or cowgirl boots, and you’ve got your look for the day. If you think you’re going to get cold, bring a jean jacket.
You can amp any outfi t up with the correct accessories. A cross body purse is your best bet. You can fi nd some pretty small ones, and run less of a risk of losing it if it’s wrapped around your body. Glasses and sunglasses are mak-ing some big statements right
now. Wearing faux glasses is on trend right now, so you can fi nd some pretty cheap ones at national retailers. I’m a big fan of the round glasses. They have a certain 1960s rock chic appeal to them. Comfort and functional is the name of the game. You want to have a small purse for your lipstick, sunscreen, keys, ID and money. Flat shoes are a must for the long hours you’ll be spending outside whether you wear sandals, bal-let fl ats or boots. But defi nitely layer for spring — the weather is as decisive as my mother is about the menu at Cheesecake Factory. Above all else, have fun and rock out to all of your favorite local and national bands at what is sure to be the best NMF to date.
Short sleeves and sunglasses were needed last year for the Norman Music Festival, but April weather will dictate what you’ll be wearing this year. Photo by Steve Sisney, The Oklahoman

movie review ‘ J U R A S S I C P A R K 3 D ’
Sixty-fi ve million years ago, dinosaurs called the shots.
In 1993, director Steven Spielberg’s special eff ects juggernaut stomped into theaters, swallowed worldwide box offi ce records and nabbed three
Oscar wins. Not bad for an extinct species.At heart, “Jurassic Park 3D” is a carbon copy of its
original counterpart. The movie remains a thrilling and extremely loud story about humanity going toe-to-toe with nature. An eccentric CEO named John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) recruits a small group of paleontologists and reptile enthusiasts to pay a visit to the soft opening of a living, breathing dinosaur theme park. Everything goes swimmingly until the cages break and people start getting picked off by dinosaurs faster than cheap fl at screen televi-sions on Black Friday.
But like the appetite of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, there’s always room for more. So, after two decades, “Jurassic Park 3D” found a convenient trend to sink its teeth into.
Luckily, there’s more than enough magic hiding in every masterful shot and stunning set piece. John Williams’ dramatic score persists to be a cinemati-cally sweeping soundtrack. It’s still physically pos-sible to get chills from seeing a towering Brachio-saurus or from hearing the screech of a Velociraptor. “Jurassic Park 3D” has almost all the same ingredi-ents as its predecessor. The only noticeable diff er-ence comes from the clumsy plastic 3-D glasses.
“Jurassic Park” needed to be in three dimen-sions like “Schindler’s List” needed a new scene consisting of singing and dancing Nazis. The 3-D elements of this rerelease were more of a distrac-tion than a welcome addition. “Jurassic Park 3D” tries too hard to improve an already eff ective 2-D undertaking. Guns, foliage and even fl ashlight beams get the three-dimensional treatment but they add nothing to the fi lm’s overall experience. If you’re a carnivore, think of “Jurassic Park” as a bacon cheeseburger and “Jurassic Park 3D” as a bacon cheeseburger wrapped in foil. Just because a burger has a new wrapper doesn’t make it taste
better. Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum) monologues a line that sums up my feelings on the additional special eff ects.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should,” he says.
Dinosaurs in 3-D don’t look scarier than they did in the ‘90s. I can guarantee that a raptor doesn’t ap-pear more intelligent when it’s clawing at a door-knob with an extra dimension. If anything should be commended, it’s the sound of “Jurassic Park 3D.” It puts the audio of my parents’ worn VHS copy to shame, and it’s capable of making a packed crowd jump.
Don’t show up to “Jurassic Park 3D” looking for a new and improved movie. Instead, look at this as an opportunity to re-appreciate a state-of-the-art fi lm that’s as visually arresting as recent CGI powerhouses such as “Life of Pi” or “The Avengers.” This reboot has bite but that’s because its teeth were always sharp.

movie review ‘ E V I L D E A D ’
Director Sam Raimi made the origi-nal “The Evil Dead,” released in 1981, for a budget of $350,000. It was the beginning of a successful career for him, star Bruce Camp-bell and producer Rob Tapert.
The fi lm was essentially re-made in 1987 with a heavier emphasis on the comedy with “Evil Dead 2.” A bigger budget sequel, “Army of Darkness,” fol-lowed in 1992.
Sam Raimi went on to huge success with the “Spi-der-Man” series, starring Tobey Maguire. Now, 32 years after the original fi lm, Raimi is producing a remake to that fi rst, shoestring-budget movie.
This year’s remake, “Evil Dead,” directed by Fede Alvarez, re-creates the same basic story with some twists. It’s got a bigger budget to work with, but lacks the original’s charm.
While in the original, Bruce Campbell’s Ash and his college friends were on vacation in the woods, in the new version it’s for a more intense reason.
Mia (Jane Levy) is trying to kick her drug addic-tion. She’s joined by her brother David (Shiloh Fernandez) and his girlfriend Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore). Also there to help are a couple of Mia’s longtime friends, Olivia (Jessica Lucas), who is a nurse; and Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci).
They plan to hole up in a secluded cabin until Mia’s through the worst of the withdrawal symp-toms, something they anticipate will take a few days. But something far worse lurks.
When Eric discovers a Book of the Dead in the basement to the cabin, he unwittingly uses it to summon an evil spirit from the nearby woods. The spirit possesses the young people, who must fi ght for their survival.
Longtime fans of the franchise will notice subtle homages to the original fi lm throughout.
The fi lm relies much more heavily on practical eff ects than computer-generated imagery, some-thing of a novelty in 2013. Unfortunately, however, while the original “The Evil Dead” staked out new territory for the horror genre, the remake, perhaps inevitably, has a been-there, done-that feel.
Like many horror fi lms, the characters must make increasingly stupid decisions to drag themselves into deeper and deeper jeopardy.
And despite the involvement of writer Diablo Cody (“Juno”), the internal logic of the fi lm doesn’t entirely hold together. It’s a competently done remake that fans of the original will likely appreci-ate, though the over-the-top gore and violence will likely be too much for the uninitiated.
— Matthew Price, features editor

movie review ‘ T H E H O S T ’
Stephenie Meyer achieved youth culture fame overnight with her supernatural “Twilight” novels and fi lms. But immor-tality? As the makers of Livestrong yellow wristbands or “High School Musical” can attest, that’s harder to come by.
Meyer’s latest, “The Host,” blends teen romance and science fi ction. In its strange new world, advanced, peaceable extraterrestrials have commandeered the minds of most of Earth’s human population. This case of global possession has a benign face. Earth 2.0 is without war, hunger, greed and cancer. Humans retain their physical form, dress impeccably, drive silver luxury sports cars and live in elegant midcentury modernist digs. Unfortunately, the aliens want to ease Homo sapiens aside permanently, convinced that they can do a better job of running our planet.
An alien intelligence named Wanderer inhabits Earth girl Melanie Stryder. Even after she’s implanted with her new “soul,” defi ant Melanie (Saoirse Ro-nan) doesn’t knuckle under. Her will and awareness survive, gradually revealing thoughts and memories to Wanderer (Wanda for short). The battle to control Melanie’s body is a psychic pillow fi ght, with Ronan voicing both sides of the running argument in her
head. Like mismatched bunkies at sleepaway camp, they squabble, then learn to coexist, ultimately form-ing an emotional connection.
Melanie convinces the resistant Wanderer that they must fl ee to the desert cabin of Uncle Jeb (William Hurt) and Aunt Maggie (Frances Fisher). Evading the alien security chief Seeker (Diane Kruger) and her crew, Melanie / Wanda discover remote caves sheltering the handful of remaining humans. Among them are Melanie’s boyfriend Jared (Max Irons) and his fellow freedom fi ghter Ian (Jake Abel), who falls for Wanda. With two identities in a single body, our heroines fi nd themselves in a two-way love triangle, then a three-person love quadrangle. And Bella Swan thought she had a tangled love life!
Writer/director Andrew Niccol (“The Truman Show,” “Gattaca”) does a capable job with the physical aspect of the production. The sleek environments the aliens inhabit evoke a sense of purity that is both soothing and creepy. They shop at a place titled “Store” where goods are abundant, but displayed in sterile packaging with no visual diff erentiation between items. The hu-mans’ spaces are wet (soggy waterfront cabins) or arid (sun-blasted Southwestern rock formations). There’s a battle of cold Design Within Reach conformity vs.
shaggy thrift-store diversity in every shot.But there’s only so much value that Niccol’s slick
presentation can add to Meyer’s shallow material. Ace stuntwork notwithstanding, the movie lacks a sense of danger and urgency. The emotional groundwork for a compelling confl ict is missing. Given that the aliens are generally a peace-loving lot, their pursuit of the rebels never ignites much anxiety. Kruger makes her character the most “human” of the aliens, with a duplicity and rash temper not seen in her beige comrades. Frankly, they’re cream puff s.
Only one scene admits the absurdity of the situ-ation as Melanie/Wanda steals a pallet full of food from “Store” by wheeling it directly past the placid staff and out the door. It’s a nice gag in a fi lm mostly bereft of levity or self-awareness. How could they have ignored the comic gold mine of a crazy-acting teen girl with two brains?
I wouldn’t put money on this mishmash of “Inva-sion of the Body Snatchers” and “Love Story” scoring with fantasy fans. They’ll probably hang on until fall for the next installment of the dramatically superior “Hunger Games.”
Oklahoma country music superstar Blake Shelton handily serves multiple masters on his seventh studio album, “Based on a
True Story ...”As much as it might pain his longtime
fans, especially Oklahomans who have followed the Ada native’s career since the 1990s, Shelton is no longer just a likable country boy with a big voice and even bigger personality. Still, he con-tinues to leverage those assets with affable ease, delivering songs that will appeal to both venerable devotees and newfound fans the Tishomingo resi-dent has gained as a coach on the smash reality TV show “The Voice.”
Despite its rushed feel, Shelton, 36, manages to equalize his expanding sonic horizons and his enduring — although recently questioned — affection for old-school country music with “Based on a True Story ...,” his fi rst album since he
truly broke out as a crossover superstar.The follow-up to his 2011 Grammy-
nominated effort “Red River Blue,” which debuted just after Season 1 of “The Voice,” “Based on a True Story ...” also balances his gift as a balladeer with his reputation as a swaggering smart aleck.
The album’s chart-topping fi rst single, “Sure Be Cool if You Did,” made it clear that the laid-back country singer would be exploring a more pop-infused sound. The experi-mentation isn’t limited to the leadoff single: Shelton’s new “Story” opens with the freewheeling hip-hop beat of “Boys ‘Round Here,” which features his wife, Miranda Lambert, and her
Pistol Annies bandmates contributing harmony vocals and sassy catcalls.
The three-time Country Music As-sociation Male Vocalist of the Year clearly doesn’t need AutoTune, but the high-tech trickery is used for effect on the autobiographical Southern rocker “Small Town Big Time,” which expresses
his homesickness for down home living during his Hollywood residencies for “The Voice.”
The say-anything bravado that has earned Shelton so many admirers is given full rein on the brash “I Still Got a Finger,” which is sure to draw com-parisons to David Allan Coe and Johnny Paycheck’s “Take This Job and Shove It.” He also channels his Countrypolitan hero Conway Twitty on the seductive “Lay Low,” while “Granddaddy’s Gun,” previ-ously covered by rock/country crossover artist Aaron Lewis, has all the hallmarks of a classic country story-song.
But the ballads are the best parts of Shelton’s “Story,” particularly the weeper “Mine Would Be You” and the sultry “My Eyes.” The newlywed bliss that fl owed on “Red River Blue” seeps in with the good-natured “Doin’ What She Likes” and the earnest “Ten Times Crazier.”
Shelton will bring his “Ten Times Crazier Tour” to Tulsa’s BOK Center on Oct 4. For more information, go to www.bokcenter.com.

album review ‘ C O M E D O W N M A C H I N E ’ – T H E S T R O K E S
The expectations placed on The Strokes are so gamed to predict failure that the downtown NYC band could put out a great album and
not get due credit for it.If they recorded an album that sound-
ed like the precise garage rock of their landmark 2001 debut, critics would dismiss it as devoid of ideas, and if it was a total departure, many fans conditioned to expect more of the same from their pet bands would shrug their shoulders and move on.
For the most part, “Comedown Machine” is the latter. The Strokes barely sound like them-selves on this fi fth album, and when they do nod to “Is This It?” reasonable fans will wish they would stop.
They open with “Tap Out,” which, kid you not, is powered by a drum track seemingly modeled on either Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Some-thin’” or “The Rhythm Is Gonna Get
You” by Miami Sound Machine. But it works, kicking The Strokes into a skuzzy reverie, as does the hyperkinetic synth-pop on “One Way Trigger.”
The low-key tracks such as “80s Comedown Machine” and “Chances” go a long way toward expanding the band’s sonic tools — Julian Casablancas’ fal-setto gets a huge workout on the latter.
Throwback rockers “50/50” and “All the Time” feel like concessions and neither is good enough to merit serious comparison to the superior material on “Is This It?” and “Room On Fire.” But not all the experiments work, either — the old-timey Tom Waits pastiche “Call It Fate, Call It Karma” plays like padding on an album
that, at 38 minutes length, doesn’t need it. But the fact that they try new things on “Comedown Machine” suggests that The Strokes don’t think they need to sound exactly like they did 12 years ago, and deserve credit for challenging the rigged expectations game.

album review ‘ W H E E L H O U S E ’ – B R A D P A I S L E Y
In the past year or so, Brad Paisley has performed on Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion,” made a cameo on the irreverent animated series “South Park” and released
his fi rst book, “Diary of a Player.”So it should come as no surprise that
when the singer/songwriter/guitarist, 40, named his new album “Wheelhouse” he was referring to stepping outside of it. The fi rst single, “Southern Comfort Zone,” Paisley’s 21st No. 1 hit, sings the praises of “my Tennessee home” with snippets of “The Andy Griffi th Show,” a Jeff Foxworthy bit and the Brentwood Baptist Church choir’s rendition of “Dixie,” while encour-aging Southerners to leave their familiar surroundings and travel to Rome, Paris or other places where “not everybody knows the words to ‘Ring Of Fire’ or ‘Amazing Grace.’ “
The West Virginia native wrote or
co-wrote all 14 songs and three inter-stitials on the album, and he includes many of his signatures, from endearing ballads like “The Mona Lisa” to funny ditties like “Death of a Single Man.” But “Wheelhouse” indeed has him doing things a bit differently, whether he’s hilariously collaborating with Monty Python comic Eric Idle for “Death of a Married Man,” the lead-in to the up-
roarious “Harvey Bodine,” or sampling Oklahoma-bred Roger Miller’s 1964 smash “Dang Me” for “Outstanding in Our Field,” a clever twist on down-home party songs that features Dierks Bentley on vocals and Hunter Hayes on guitar.
Charlie Daniels lends his distinctive voice to the play-by-play on “Karate,” and LL
Cool J raps in earnest counterpoint to Paisley’s smooth drawl on the thought-provoking “Accidental Racist.”
Even Paisley’s tradition of including a hymn on his albums gets a makeover
with “Those Crazy Christians.”With “Wheelhouse,” due out Tuesday,
Paisley’s sound gets more of a pop and hip-hop infusion and considerably less overt traditional country infl uence, but
as he declares in the closing anthem if “you’ve ruffl ed some feathers,” you’re “Offi cially Alive.”

N o one in video games likes taking on big politi-cal ideas more than Ken Levine.
In 2007’s “BioShock,” Levine and his team at
Irrational Games tackled objectivism, building an undersea utopia-gone-bad from the theories of Ayn Rand. In “Bio-Shock Infi nite” (2K Games, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, $59.99), Levine aims at a wider target: American exceptionalism, the idea that the United States is inherently morally superior to the rest of the world.
The year is 1912, and the setting is Columbia, a city that fl oats in the sky as a beacon of free-dom. When the protagonist arrives, he’s greeted by statues of Ben-jamin Franklin, George Wash-ington and Thomas Jeff er-son, trans-formed from mere founding fathers into religious icons.
But for all its beauty, Co-lumbia is beset by racism and xenophobia, and there’s trouble brewing between the high-living Founders and the downtrod-den Vox Populi. A violent incident in the skies over China has led to Columbia’s secession from the United States; as the game begins, the city’s being led by war hero and self-described prophet Zachary Hale Comstock.
The hero, Booker DeWitt, is a former Pinkerton detective who’s sent to Colum-bia to retrieve a mysterious girl named Elizabeth. She’s been isolated by Com-stock since she was 5 years old, guarded by an enormous fl ying robot called Songbird. Booker quickly helps Elizabeth escape, but getting her back to Earth is another issue.
The bulk of the action in “BioShock Infi nite” consists of fi refi ghts amid Columbia’s elaborate Gilded Age archi-tecture. As with any fi rst-person shooter, there’s plenty of ordnance lying around,
video game review ‘ B I O S H O C K I N F I N I T E ’
Brilliant ‘BioShock Infi nite’ takes fl ightbut Booker can also wield supernatural powers like a wizard from a medieval role-playing game. He can fl ing fi reballs and lightning bolts. He can summon a murder of crows to peck at enemies. He can cause foes to levitate helplessly, or possess them so they join his side.
Franchise fans will recognize some of these as “plasmids” from the original “BioShock,” although here they’ve been renamed “vigors.” They still distinguish “BioShock” from its competitors in the crowded shooter marketplace — why just shoot the bad guys when you can levitate them and then set them ablaze?
Columbia itself is further distinguished by its “skylines,” which are used to send cargo between its fl oating islands. Booker is equipped with a magnetic hook that al-lows him to swoop around on the skylines, an experience as exhilarating as riding a new roller coaster. The skylines also turn Columbia’s outdoor plazas into mas-sive, multilevel battlegrounds, adding a rewarding new strategic dimension.
The other valuable addition to the fi ght is Elizabeth herself. While she never fi res a weapon, she will scrounge up ammo, health kits and “salts” (which power your vigors). She can also reveal extra weap-onry by opening “tears” to alternate uni-verses — a skill that becomes ever more important as the game proceeds.
Indeed, “Bioshock Infi nite” is as much Elizabeth’s story as it is Booker’s. In her, Levine and Irrational have created one of the most vivid virtual characters ever, a woman who’s smart, naive, resource-ful, despairing, kind-hearted, angry — as well-rounded a human as you’ll fi nd in any medium. Much of the credit goes to the stellar voice work of Courtnee Draper, with a key assist from Troy Baker in the role of Booker.
“BioShock Infi nite” sets a new standard for video-game storytelling, delivering a complex tale in often surprising ways. It’s a brazen satire of some of the most unpleasant aspects of American history, from both sides of the political spectrum. It’s mind-bending science fi ction that isn’t afraid to challenge its audience. Most of all, it’s the story of two very messed-up people trying to survive in a chaotic universe. Four stars out of four.

ost girls age 13 to 17 would give up their texting privileges for a month for a brief meet-and-greet with a Justin Bieber or a Taylor Swift.
But Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse aren’t most girls. You might say they travel to the beat of a diff erent drum. Or drummers.
For example, Kelli, 13, and Peyton, 17, were thrilled to meet a couple of their own idols at South By Southwest Music
Festival in Austin last month.“Lori Barbero from Babes in Toyland!”
Kelli marveled. “She’s the drummer. That was crazy because Babes in Toyland is one of my biggest inspirations ever. I love Babes in Toyland so much. Like, I’ve been listening to that record ‘Fontanelle’ over and over and over again, so that was pretty cool.”
“That was awesome,” Peyton agreed. “And then we met Jody Stephens, the
drummer from Big Star. Yeah, that was so cool. Like, before a few days ago I hadn’t listened to a lot of Big Star but I started listening to them and it was really cool.”
Together, these Edmond stepsisters form the punk-rock-pop duo Skating Polly, drawing inspiration from sources as disparate as the aforementioned Babes in Toyland, Johnny Cash, Bikini Kill and Neutral Milk Hotel.

Their fi rst performance of one of their original songs was in front of an audience of 20 other kids at a Halloween sleepover in 2009, Peyton banging out the beat while Kelli sang and fi ngered her “basitar,” a homemade instrument consisting of a mini guitar strung with two bass strings, designed by her father to fi t her small hands.
Since then, appreciation of their music has spread beyond that living room full of friends, making fans out of such musical luminaries as Sean Lennon, Holly Golightly, Kelly Ogden of the Dollyrots, Holly Golightly, Exene Cervenka of the seminal Los Angeles punk band X, and fellow Okies the Flaming Lips.
In fact, Skating Polly’s sophomore album “Lost Wonderfuls” — released Tuesday on
iTunes, due out April 16 on CD from the SQE label — was produced by Cervenka and mixed by Lips drummer Kliph Scurlock, both of whom are big supporters of the girls and their music.
Scurlock even gave the girls one of his own custom-made drum kits as a gift.
“They’re like this really cool, clear color, like they’re orange,” Kelli said. “They’re really pretty and they have this heavy kind of ominous sound that goes really well with our music.”
“They sound really awesome,” Peyton agreed. “And there’s two fl oor toms instead of two rack toms, so I think that adds a lot to the heaviness.”
Scurlock fi rst caught Skating Polly’s act in a video produced by the same outfi t
that creates the Flaming Lips videos, Delo Creative. The drummer started catching their live shows, got hooked on their music and their teen spirit, and began spreading the word about them.
“He’s been really supportive,” Kelli said. “And (Flaming Lips lead singer) Wayne (Coyne) has also been really supportive. Wayne even put one of our stickers on the back of his car.”
Allan Vest, of the Norman-based Starlight Mints, has also taken an interest in the girls, off ering his services as a music teacher.
But it was Cervenka who became the girls’ fi rst champion. Cervenka fi rst met the girls when Peyton’s mom, Amber Bighorse, brought them to the L.A. singer’s tour stop at the Conservatory in February 2010.

“It was winter and there were some people there, but not a lot,” Cervenka recalled in a 2012 interview with The Oklahoman. “It was a pretty gloomy event, and cold. And then there they were — Peyton and Kelli and Mom. And they were just so positive, excited, happy, glowing with joy to be there, that it really changed the whole night for everybody.”
Peyton and Kelli had grown up on their parents’ records, which ranged from the Beatles to ‘70s punk and ‘90s grunge, and X was one of the girls’ all-time favorites. Cervenka exchanged email addresses with the girls and urged them to send her some of their music.
Cervenka liked what she heard — original, stripped-down riot grrrl punk, with a sense of melody and lyrical smarts far beyond the girls’ tender years. Fourteen of those songs can be heard on Skating Polly’s fi rst album, “Taking Over the World,” recorded at home with Kelli’s dad, David Mayo, producing, and released in 2010 on the Norman-based Nice People Records. Pretty amazing stuff for a couple of schoolgirls who are self-taught on basitar, guitar, piano and drums (and Peyton also plays ukulele).
The X frontwoman liked them so much that she off ered to produce their second album.
“She was really helpful on it and really supportive,” Kelli said. “ ... And she told us really cool stories about old punk legends.”
Since then, Skating Polly has fi lled opening slots for acts as prestigious as Band of Horses, Mike Watt, Pierced Arrows (formerly Dead Moon), Holly Golightly and Deerhoof. They also played a whopping seven shows in March at SXSW.
And on April 29, they will open for the Flaming Lips at the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis.
“There’s nothing I’m more excited about right now,” Peyton said. “That’s the biggest thing happening with us, I think. I really can’t wait to open up for them. They have such an exciting and diverse fan base ... We opened for Band of Horses and some people liked our music but most were just like really excited about Band of Horses. I think at the Flaming Lips show they’ll be really open to the idea of Skating Polly.”
Obviously, a lot of people already are.

Korean Ramen from Main Street Noodle in Stillwater. Photos by NATE BILLINGS, The Oklahoman
STILLWATER — The way Dean Chen sees it, there’s no point in opening a restaurant unless it’s a unique concept — or at least unique to the market.
The co-owner of Oklahoma’s only full-scale shabu-shabu restaurant, Tokyo Pot, opened the state’s only ramen bar, Main Street Noodle, 622 S Main St., in November.
The fi rst thing to understand about ramen is the stuff you see sold by the box at Sam’s Club or on sale fi ve or six for a dollar at your local grocer isn’t the ramen we’re talking about. These are a dehydrated version invented in 1958 by the Nissin Foods corpo-ration that went on to be voted Japan’s most important inven-tion of the 20th century in a poll — sorry Sony.
The reason the invention is seen as so important in Japan is because ramen is king of Japa-nese fast food.
And the dehydrated, college-student staple snacks are the reverse-engineered version of this Japanese favorite. Ramen’s popularity in Japan and its lack of conduciveness to takeout led to the packages of dehydrated noodles with foil packs of fl avor powder with impossibly high sodium content.
Ramen Ya restaurants are as omnipresent in Japan as burger joints in the United States. And

the oversaturation of burger con-cepts in these parts isn’t lost on the Indonesian Chen, who moved to Stillwater from Temecula, Calif., in the middle of the 2000s.
“They all say they’re diff erent,” Chen said. “But they’re not. Don’t get me wrong I love pizza and burgers, I just don’t think there are plenty of them.”
SOMETHING DIFFERENTSo, Chen, ever the market analyst,
found something wildly popular in another country and brought it to ramen-starved Oklahoma. Chen hit the jackpot when he met chef Wes Wong, who had the technical skills to create authentic Japanese ramen.
Oklahoma City diners won’t have to stretch too far to receive ramen, as conceptual cousin to Vietnamese pho: rich, ultrahot broth, various ingredients added, condiments to supplement the fl avor and lots of noodles.
There are diff erences. The broth at Main Street Noodle is extracted from bones simmered 24 hours, but the added ingredients diff er from pho much the same way Italian ragu or sugo shares common traits with French Sauce Tomate but diff er enough to be deemed cousins rather than siblings.
The biggest diff erence is the noodles themselves. At Main Street Noodle, Wong serves four Japanese variations:TONKOTSU: This base version uses broth made from pork bones, fat and collagen cooked for many hours, which suff uses the broth with a hearty pork fl avor and a creamy consistency that rivals milk. This base is blended with chicken stock. The egg noodles are thin and straight, and it is served with boiled egg, kamaboko (fi sh cake), nori (seaweed), roasted pork and green onions.SHOYU: Starts with the same base but with the addition of chicken broth and soy sauce, resulting in a tangy, salty, and savory yet still fairly light on the palate. It comes with marinated bamboo shoots,
green onions, kamaboko, nori, hard-cooked eggs, bean sprouts, and roast pork.MISO: This version uses the same base broth as all the ramen but with the addition of miso paste, which is made from fermented rice, barley, soybeans and kojikin. If you like miso soup, you’ll love this version of ramen.CURRY: Here’s a nontraditional version cooked up at Main Street Noodle in which the broth is infused with curry. While you might not fi nd this one in Japan, you’ll fi nd it delicious.
Main Street Noodle also off ers its version of pho and a soup with Korean kimchee.
“All the work is done the day be-fore,” he said. “The broth is the soul of ramen, and it has to be done at least a day in advance to extract the fl avors from the bones.”
After morning prep of other ingredients, all that has to be done is parcooking the noodles, which Chen said they import from Japan. He explained it isn’t cost-eff ective to make the noodles from scratch daily.
“Our ramen is authentic,” he said. “But the biggest diff erence is that in Japan, the noodle is the king, and in this country people are more interested in the meat and the other ingredients we add.”
On the table, diners will fi nd srira-cha, hoisin and chili oil. Chen ad-vises you don’t dump the sauces into your soup. The Asian soup spoons off er ample space to dot them with condiments before dipping them into the broth.
“That way you don’t change the whole fl avor of the soup,” Chen said.
Appetizers include Takoyaki, which are bits of octopus mixed with a creamy batter, deep fried and served with shredded nori and a creamy sauce.
The gyoza contain chicken and pork and are served pan-fried with soy-based dipping sauce. The cro-quette isn’t at all Asian, but is tasty nonetheless. It’s a mix of mashed potatoes and vegetables batter-fried and served with a mayonnaise-based dipping sauce.

Model Corde wears a coral chiffon cocktail dress, $52.50. Silver metallic sandals, $38.50. All Sold at Deb Shops. Photos by Steve Webb, for The Oklahoman.
It’s ruffl es to the rescue for willowy fi gures. “It adds volume to a small bust, they break up a boxy frame and they add a feminine touch to a boyish fi gure,” Saboura said.
Model Ashlin wears a lavender hi-low dress with lace bodice and sweetheart neckline by Teeze Me, $89. Metallic silver peep-toe pump from Rampage, $49.99. All sold at Macy’s.
“We are seeing beautiful hi-low dresses that show off your legs,” said Teesha Tyr-rell, district manager for Deb Shops. “And these hemlines also showcase a great pair of shoes. Lace is another hot trend show-ing up in both full-length gowns and cocktail dresses.”
Alana Williams at Dillard’s Penn Square Mall echoes the hemline edict: “It’s all about hi-low, soft mint or coral.”
And, notes the offi cial website of the Inter-national Prom Association, the timeless sparkle of sequins is joined this season by elegant hand-beaded accents.
“Sequins, lace and form-fi tting dresses,” Tyrrell said. “Those are big this
prom season.”
<<< PAGE 30 I APRIL 10 - APRIL 27 I LOOKATOKC.COM
S K I N : Harmonize your skin tone, and not only through eff ective makeup. Saboura’s advice is: “Find a celebrity who has a similar color and search for images of their red carpet looks. In general, women with warmer and darker com-plexions look great in peach, coral and earthy colors. And I think navy is prettier on African-American skin than black is. Girls that are pale
can look to the big pastel trend.”
E Y E S A N D L I P S : Sarah Fuentes, re-gional director at Toni & Guy Salons, stresses
“Bold eyes or bold lip color. Not both at the same time, though — one or the other.”
And while many fashion websites and maga-zines tout extra dark liner and saturated eye col-or, Saboura cautions, “The most common prom mistake I see is overdressing and overstyling.”
Don’t forget, heavier makeup and darker eye col-ors can smudge and crease more easily.
H A I R : Simpler and less structured is the look, said veteran stylist Hannah Goodman at Duncan Brothers Salon. “Nothing is super tailored. Not as many braids, instead lots of beachy (loose)
curls for a rumpled Hollywood look.”
HAIR RULE NO. 1: Your hairstyle should harmonize with your dress, not clash with it.
RULE NO. 2: It’s got to look lovely for sev-eral hours. An overly elaborate creation which is stunning for 45 minutes, but that wilts on the dance fl oor, just won’t do.
AC C E S S O R I E S : Remember that your dress is the highlight. Jewelry should enhance, not detract from your apparel.
“A fabulous pair of shoes or a great necklace can transform a really
simple dress into something amazing,” Saboura said.

“Look for clean silhouettes that don’t accentuate curves too much,” Saboura said, “and
go for details like fl at pleat-ing and ruching, which will hide any bumps and bulges. As far as necklines go, look for a slimming V-neck that calls attention to the center line but doesn’t bare the breast.”
Model Keely wears a coral and black strapless gown with sweetheart neckline from Jump Apparel by Wendye, $219.
Less is usually more. While fl attering, cutouts can veer out of control.
“You cannot have any tummy rolls or back rolls sticking out of that dress, so the athletic, boxy body types (think Hilary Swank) look good in this style,” stylist Sam Saboura said.
“There’s a way to be sophisticated and sexy when you’re doing cutouts, but if you go over the top, it’s going to err on the slutty side.”

LED dressHe may no longer be an Oklahoma resident, but this prom, you can bet many Oklahoma teens will proudly be wearing the designs of Kayne Gillaspie, whose line of evening wear is called Johnathan Kayne.
In October, Gillaspie uprooted his Oklahoma home and business and moved to his hometown of Nash-ville, Tenn. He’s been traveling constantly, pro-moting his line overseas (he was in Hong Kong for two weeks recently) and on the road, visiting stores across the country in a grassroots style campaign.
One of the most exciting elements of the Johnathan Kayne line for spring 2013 is dresses ribbed with LED lighting in various patterns. After the LED dresses became best-sellers last year, he added four designs to his 2013 line, like the turquoise dress seen here.
Hi-low dresses are making a huge im-pact, and Gillaspie puts his own twist on the idea by creating a cocktail dress with a removable hi-low skirt.
And this season, it’s all about bling.
“Sometimes girls want a little more simple, understated things, and sometimes it’s like ‘more is more,’” Gillaspie said. “This sea-son girls are responding to more.”
Teens looking for lots of sparkle are in luck, because high-quality, big, chunky stones are more affordable than ever. Machine-beaded and sequined fabrics and technologies that make polyester and blends feel like fine silks make affording a super glamorous prom gown within financial reach for more teens than ever.
