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. Ft: Gurdonark.
