DESERT ORACLE RADIO OUTPOST PROJECTS CURATE JOSHUA TREE

Cold and windy on the High Desert. Maybe some rain out there. Broadcasting from a little old yellow trailer parked over by the cactus garden at Outpost Projects’ & Curate Joshua Tree’s FOUND! art show on March 17, 2018. It was a good way to evade the St. Patrick’s Troubles. Not only did our old friend (?) Brendan Maze drop by, but Joshua Tree’s own RedBlueBlackSilver was there with a pile of weird contraptions making weird sounds. They even put us on their artists’ website & gave us some wine, it was fantastic.

Cooked up live and served to you a week later: a real desert sack lunch. Enjoy in moderation.

Listen to the show right here on Art19, subscribe on your favorite podcast system, or tune in tonight in the High Desert, 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, every Friday night.

EPISODE #017: THE FIRE STORM, AND HOW TO KIDNAP YOURSELF

KATE MCCABE
Is the entirety of California a desert now? Bone-dry air, howling Santa Ana winds, brutal fire-storms. People go mad in this kind of weather, even without a wildfire bearing down upon them. Also: We pay a visit to Hi-Desert artist & filmmaker Kate McCabe at her Kidnap Yourself HQ on Yucca Mesa. (You can see new artworks by Kate McCabe & hear her spin records at the Querma de Joshua Tree event on Saturday night at the JT Retreat Center.)

Sounds you’ll hear tonight include field recordings of desert critters & barking dogs, our theme music by Pierre Langer, and three new pieces by Joshua Tree’s RedBlueBlackSilver: “Three Ghosts At the Apple Valley Inn,” “Ursa Major,” and “Cassini.” Also: “Heaven & Hell” by Donnie Drost (c) copyright 2010 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.
