Over the next couple of weeks, we will be counting down the Top 100 Oklahoma Albums of the 2000s . Every weekday, we will unveil another ten Oklahoma albums that helped shape the way Oklahoma music is heard by the outside world. We asked three dozen musicians, fans and journalists for their opinions on the top albums of the past decade. With their guidance and our own opinions, we compiled what we hope is a decent and fair list. Hopefully, there's a good bit of reflection, discovery and enjoyment when listening to these albums [...]

As many of you are well aware this last Saturday played host to the First Annual Norman Music Festival , and for a first time festival I think things went extremely well. The lineup was great and the price was right. Really where else are you going to see some seriously kick ass bands for Free? Nowhere! There were 3 stages all within walking distance of each other, but far enough away there wasn't any sound bleed over. Well one of the stages was inside the Sooner Theater so there wasn't any real threat of [...]
