The Spy is On the Air, At Long Last
November 24, 2009
Yesterday, a good many readers were understandably concerned when, after much fanfare from this blog, The Lost Ogle and other cheerleaders for Oklahoma City’s culture, 105.3 FM “The Spy” did not appear as promised. For those just wakey-waking, “The Spy” went up at 12:01 a.m. this morning. I’ll try to... Read More

Ferris O’Brien talks about the return of 105.3 FM “The Spy”
November 20, 2009
“The Spy” is currently locked in a basement, but Ferris O’Brien promises to release it in three days.
Five years ago, 105.3 FM “The Spy” left the airwaves, replaced by a Spanish language station, and a great experiment in ultra-alternative rock radio was consigned to history. Now O’Brien, the morning... Read More

Video of the Day: Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck, “Heaven Can Wait”
November 19, 2009
A Silverlake shuffle from Gainsbourg’s upcoming disc with Beck, IRM, due in January, the video features hamburger skateboards, a wigged lizard, nacho bomb, green fuzzy meanies, fruity pebbles in the bathtub — come to think of it, all this sounds like a thrown-out lyric from the Mellow Gold days.

Video of the Day: Pomplamoose, “Single Ladies”
November 17, 2009
Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte do their own songs, but a superb introduction to their ethos, the equation for which seems to be Pianosaurus + Self’s Gizmodgery + twee pop + light irony, is Pomplamoose’s excellent array of covers. Shuffle around the duo’s YouTube channel for great takes on Earth Wind &... Read More
Video of the Day: Rain Machine, “Give Blood”
November 16, 2009
This is Kyp Malone of TV On the Radio, in the event that his stupendous face garden wasn’t a giveaway. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of the luxury hotel setting — this gets whacked out fairly quickly.

Beyond Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie’s brilliantly self-satirical lyrics, Flight of the Conchords works its magic thanks to an unimpeachable mimicry skill. “Bowie” and the Pet Shop Boys parody “Inner City Pressure” from the duo’s 2008 debut used musical precision to expertly telegraph...

As it turns out, the world ends stupidly. It ends with sight gags such as a couple arguing in a grocery store, the husband saying, “I feel like something is coming between us,” and the ground opening up. It ends with the U.S.S. John F.
