EPISODE #027: IN THE NIGHT ON AMBOY ROAD

, , , , , , , , , , ,

DESERT ORACLE RADIO
Sure is nice to get on the road and get out of town. So we’ve heard, anyway. Let’s get in one of these cars and head out to the Mojave Wilderness, a night drive. Never know what’ll happen out here.

In this second episode from the little desert trailer, we have RedBlueBlackSilver on the scene, in the Outpost Project JT yeller trailer, during the recent Curate Joshua Tree’s “FOUND!” show. You’re going to hear some friendly desert conversation with Aili Schmeltz and Emily Silver from the aforementioned ventures, along with strange tales from the Salton Sea with Steven Biller, who is the author of this new piece in Palm Springs Life magazine about the curious phenomenon of DESERT ORACLE.

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 #026: FROM A DESERT TRAILER

DESERT ORACLE RADIO OUTPOST PROJECTS CURATE JOSHUA TREE

Photo by Laura Crane.

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.

EPISODE #025: UFOS ON THE JUNGIAN DESERT

People sure are talking a lot about UFOs these days. Haven’t heard so much about this persistent mystery for decades. Why now, why again?

We’ve got three all-new tracks from Joshua Tree’s own RedBlueBlackSilver tonight, and in the order in which you’ll hear them, they are: “Telescope Peak,” “Sunburst,” and “Dirty Devil River.” Everybody should have a swim, or maybe a sand bath, in the Dirty Devil River, if they get the chance.

And if you haven’t heard, this show will broadcast live (more or less) on location, and with RedBlueBlackSilver and all his weird old synths, at the Curate Joshua Tree & Outpost Projects “FOUND” group art show, opening night, up here in the High Desert on March 17, Saturday night, 5 p.m.-9 p.m.

Also! This podcast is now hosted by ART19.com, and that means (among other things) that we have a fine new embedded podcast player for those of you who enjoy listening off your computer.

EPISODE #024: ON THE ROAD WITH LA LLORONA

DESERT ORACLE

It’s eerie out there tonight. Out here. It’s misty and dark and not very clear or welcoming, out on the Mojave tonight. Boy it sure would be a shame if something terrifying was about to occur, on the road, or along the canals and mostly dry rivers. We’ve got your PRESERVE INFORMATION radio, as well, for your informational needs while driving around the Mojave Wilderness. Do be careful. If you want.

There are new desert soundscapes tonight from RedBlueBlackSilver: “Canyons,” and then “Yucca Mesa.” And there’s your editor’s extended mix of Truth Force Drone by gurdonark (c) copyright 2005 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial license, and a lot of weird little sounds captured here & there, in the company of ghosts.

Listen live tonight at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM, or right now on your iTunes and Stitcher and TuneIn and the rest. Why you can listen to it right here, if you enjoy looking at a web browser while you listen to the program:

We’re taking a trip out to Camp Cady on the Mojave River, whether we’re welcome or not, and regardless of what happened with Mr. Pantages. And what about those beautiful California Desert National Monuments billboards on the 62? Breanne Dusastre from the 29 Palms Inn tells us why wild desert is good for the critters and good for the High Desert economy.

Enjoy a cold wintry night with us, tonight at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM, or right now on your podcast-enabled machinery.

EPISODE #018: HIGH-DESERT HOLIDAYS & PROOF OF UFOS

, , , , , , ,

Desert Oracle
It’s our first annual holiday show, with plenty of Christmas cheer (more or less) from our studios in downtown Joshua Tree. Were you good this year? Well then maybe Santa will bring you Pentagon proof of UFOs and maybe Santa is an alien too, why not? Why not gather ’round the festive Joshua tree with all the colorful insects and whatever else is hidden in the dead needle-tipped branches and join us, this one last time before the new year? Why not??

We’ve got our friend and Pioneertown neighbor Jeremy Corbell of ExtraordinaryBeliefs.com aboard the Desert Oracle Combat Training Center and he has just come back from Skinwalker Ranch, again, and yes that is the very “Utah ranch” discussed in the shocking (?) New York Times reports of a UFO program within the Department of Defense, a program that also involved Nevada billionaire Robert Bigelow and a secret warehouse full of mystery. And our high-desert soundscape wizard RedBlueBlackSilver cooked up a special soundtrack called “Amber” for this haunted conversation. (more…)
