BIG thanks and love to friend of the label Aric S. Queen who is embarking on a long journey across America for National Geographic Traveler and chronicling his journey/zany adventures in The Good Traveler Blog. His latest entry–Is the “Next Austin” in Oklahoma?.–is a great little feature on the emergence of the Oklahoma music scene and Okie Dope gets a quote/shoutout! We always knew we’d make it to reputable media one of these days…

There may be no greater combination of sight and sound you’ll hear all year! Our very The Boom Bang recorded this rad cover of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song–which you can download for free here! And if your childhood cartoon-loving pants weren’t going crazy enough–the song is part of this absolutely stellar stop-action video by Kyle Roberts and Nathan Poppe.
The “making-of” video is equally great and a must-see if you enjoyed the video. It is posted below.

Look, Mom! We made it in to the paper! Today’s edition of The Oklahoman features an article by the great Steve Lackmeyer on the revival of the vinyl format and our little record label. A great read. Have you ever seen anything so handsome?

Big thanks to friend of Okie Dope Ashley Queen for the gift of this rad painting!
