Sokolosky plays her way to Tumbleweed stage > OSU sophomore reached out to Read Southall on Instagram. BY katie all en

he first time Reagan Sokolosky heard Read Southall Band’s music, she knew she had to learn to play the band’s guitar chords. A year later, Sokolosky, an Oklahoma State sophomore, went from singing in her room to performing with the band at the Tumbleweed Dance Hall on Aug. 19. She sang Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” in front of 1,400 people with the band behind her. Red dirt music enthusiasts, OSU students and Sokolosky’s friends and family packed the house to see the show. “It was intense,” Sokolosky said. “I’ve never played in front of that many people before. I got up there, and it was so easy. It just came naturally.”

Reagan Sokolosky, an Oklahoma State sophomore, recently had the opportunity to play alongside the Read Southall Band at the Tumbleweed Dance Hall in Stillwater.

She played the electric guitar and sang Kurt Cobain’s raspy tune. As the song drew to its close, her voice grew louder. Read Southall, the founder and lead vocalist of the band, said he suggested she punch the final chords of the song. “I was like, ‘Don’t sing it like you heard it. I want you to scream it,” Southall said. “I heard her do it on stage, and that was probably my favorite part because it was neat. She trusted me and went ahead and gave it 110 (percent) and really yelled that last

part of the song.” An international business and marketing major, Sokolosky finished her performance to a round of cheers, encouraging her to continue her passion for music. Sokolosky began her journey to the Tumbleweed stage in the third grade. She received a guitar for Christmas and told her dad she wanted to be serious about learning music. “I know, third grade seems early, but I got really into writing (music), and I told myself I needed

to learn chords, I need to be able to play my own music,” Sokolosky said.

Sokolosky, from Austin, Texas, said she enjoyed playing music, but it took a lot of effort to stick with it over the years. She went through phases of frustration as she tried to better herself musically. “Honestly, it was a lot of practice, and I hated it for a good amount of time,” she said. “I couldn’t figure out how to strum and make it sound good. Finally, in high school I got really into it and played every day. Now it’s an instant stress reliever for me.” When it was time to

decide on a college to attend, Sokolosky made her choice based on where she felt the most comfortable. Her familiarity with OSU, her father’s alma mater, drew her to Stillwater over a scholarship to DePaul University in Chicago. The Sokolosky name is no stranger to the Stillwater music scene, either. Her dad played at Willie’s Saloon during his college years. Once she moved to campus, Sokolosky found comfort playing guitar and STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 3

downtime. During her freshman year, Sokolosky’s best friend, Nicole Sparks, introduced her to the Stillwater red dirt group Read Southall Band. “Nicole showed me their song ‘Gun Shy,’ and I loved how pure and meaningful the lyrics were,” Sokolosky said. “I knew I had to learn the song.” She and Sparks messaged Read Southall on Instagram asking for the chords. Southall was kind and cooperative, Sokolosky said. She responded to him with a video of her singing her own rendition of “Gun Shy.” “When she sent it, I was really blown away with it,” Southall said. “To me, that’s what being

an artist is. Anybody can trace a picture, and I think that was what was so neat about Reagan’s version is that it wasn’t a trace of my song. Really, it was my song from a different perspective.” The two exchanged numbers, and Southall posted her video on the band’s Instagram with the caption, “I honestly like (Sokolosky’s) version of gunshy better! #imafannow.” “A little while later, I texted Read when I saw that he was coming to Tumbleweed just to tell him I was excited to see them perform,” Sokolosky said. “He responded and said that the band was going to be practicing and to come jam.”

continued to rehearse when Southall asked her to try the electric guitar. She began playing “HeartShaped Box.” “I started playing it, and the band freaked out,” she said. “Read told me I was playing that one by myself on Friday. I couldn’t believe they were going to let me steal their show and play with them.” Sokolosky went on to Read southall band facebook perform with the band at The Read Southall Band played at Tumbleweed on Aug. 19. its Tumbleweed show and received plenty of positive She was ecstatic as she “Then the band came feedback, she said.

the future, as well. Sokolosky said she pursues her passion of writing and singing with an even greater motivation since her Tumbleweed performance. Her goal for the year is to perfect her writing skills and find more gigs. “Seriously, Stillwater is such a supportive community,” Sokolosky said. “I’m really excited to see what comes of this.” Nuria Martinez-Keel contributed to this report.

‘Stranger Things’ is high on sCI-fi, low on depth BY skyler o s b u r n

en t e rta in m ent critic

“Stranger Things” has all of the ingredients to be a sci-fi slam dunk, and in many ways, it is. Winona Ryder and David Harbour turn in star-making performances years into their successful careers as Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper in the Nexflix original. Millie Bobby Brown seems to possess all the natural prowess and restraint found in beloved actors three times her 12 years. The fantastical influences, from Stephen King to John Carpenter, are sure to please audiences of all kinds. That said, why can’t all of these aspects coalesce into something amazing? At the

end of eight stylish and fastpaced episodes, why does “Stranger Things” feel so empty? The answer comes from an understanding of the show’s forefathers, the kinds of films and novels that innovated its mixture of sci-fi, horror and coming-of-age drama. A massive part of pop culture in the 1980s, these stories at their best were often examinations of life’s great mysteries and conflicts, filtered through tales of masked psychopaths, immortal shape-shifters and maniacal clown demons. But at their worst, these stories could be excuses for meaningless, gory pleasure. “Stranger Things” falls somewhere in the middle of those

netf lix

extremes. The series follows the loyalties and misadventures of a group of preteens after the unexpected disappearance of a friend, Will Byers. In its search for the boy, the group falls into the kind of complex tale that one might find in one of their table-top roleplaying games. Conspiracies,

children with special abilities and space-time rips abound in a show packed with every sci-fi scenario imaginable. “Stranger Things” tries too hard for meager results. Gorgeous cinematography, enjoyable direction and a handful of shocks cannot fully distract from the lack of thematic depth and the

refusal to privilege meaning over twists and turns. The Duffer Brothers, the duo behind the series, obviously worship at the feet of iconic 1980s works such as “The Thing” and “E.T.” However, their story rises only inches above cliché in its best moments. It never reaches the heights of Carpenter’s keen sense of paranoid claustrophobia or Spielberg’s understanding of childhood wonderment. “Stranger Things” gravitates toward meaning every now and again, but it’s never thematic content. It’s only lip service. Loss, and the ways in which we attempt to cope with it, permeates the series, but nothing of importance is said about that touchy topic.

It only hovers over your head and lightly pulls at your heartstrings. There are certainly worse ways to spend eight hours, and the series did manage to sneak a few laughs and jumps from me along the way. But I am not left considering the strength of 1980s cinema, the effects of love and loss, or the bond between childhood pals. I find myself unmoved, a bit bored and a little less cheerful.
