#093: WIZARDS AND CRITTERS

When it’s Snakesgiving Time in the Mojave, everybody’s just a little more careful. Goes well with these weird new times, being careful. So please make an effort to not run over any tortoises or coyotes or bobcats or gopher snakes when you’re racing through the re-opened national park.

Roebuck. What is a roebuck? #093: WIZARDS AND CRITTERS.

Remember campfires? We sure do. Standing around a campfire telling stories and socializing used to be a big part of the Desert Oracle “workflow,” as they say over in corporate. And it will be again. But while we ride the storm out, here’s our most recent Campfire Stories night, from January 2020, with a brand-new RedBlueBlackSilver soundtrack and some other weird stuff. And it’s an hourlong special episode, too. Listen at 10 p.m. tonight on Z107.7 FM across the Great Mojave Wilderness or do the podcast shuffle, if you prefer: #091: CAMPFIRE NIGHTMARES. Life ain’t always empty.

#090: THAT WHICH IS BUT ISN’T

Are they trying to ram a space-alien story down your throat again? Yeah they are, it happens sometimes. Every couple years, for reasons even they can’t agree upon. Let’s take a last look at this “Pentagon UFO” business and move on, because if ever we needed to move on, that time has come. It’s Episode #090, and you just love to see it.

Plus: What happened over Farmington, New Mexico, in March of 1950? Whatever it was, everybody saw it. It, them, whatever it was, whatever they are. AND: Lots of real good new RedBlueBlackSilver space jams.

As per usual. Tune in tonight on Z107.7FM at 10 p.m. for an hourlong block of Desert Oracle Radio. Every Friday night on KCDZ Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley/29 Palms.

DESERT ORACLE RADIO

We’ve about had it with the cabin fever and now we’ve got the ramblin’ fever. So let’s pour a couple of drinks and enjoy some saloon time on this fine desert night, with Episode #089, “Back to the Barrooms.” Maybe get a beer back, too. And six more for the road. Our Phoenix friend Jason P. Woodbury joins us at the bar. Hey and here’s some radio news you can use: You can hear Jason P. Woodbury’s weekly radio program Range & Basin Wednesday nights at 9 PM PT and midnight eastern on Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard.

There’s not enough RedBlueBlackSilver on this bar’s jukebox, but rest assured there’s a whole suite of new stuff ready for our next episode. We just lingered in the saloon too long, it’s the bartender’s fault. As per usual. Tune in tonight on Z107.7FM at 10 p.m. for an hourlong block of Desert Oracle Radio.

#088 FROM A P.O. BOX

, , ,

Desert Oracle, PO Box 1735, Joshua Tree CA 92252

A tarnished brass key, a small locked box, a sequence of magical numbers, a charmless old block building in the desert. It is here that we visit in the night, keeping our distance, looking for sustenance. It is here we receive your offerings of words and other treasure. All we mean is this: Tonight’s show is all about the letters from you, letters from our listening community, letters and their replies.

Weird new soundscapes tonight from our own RedBlueBlackSilver.

Hey did you hear we’re going to open up the country again for May Day! We’ll try, anyway. Try to get it going on Beltane Eve. Jason P. Woodbury joins us for another interesting tale about music made here in the American Desert, this time regarding longtime Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, who wrote a number of interesting lyrics about the legends and geography of the Southwest.
