Podcasts about Drop City

Ever found yourself entranced by a rhythm, a melody, or a memory that transports you to another place and time? That's the magic Bruce Ascher, a die-hard Deadhead from Putnam County, brings to the table in our latest episode. With the backdrop of Led Zeppelin and Motown beats, Bruce's musical pilgrimage led him to the Grateful Dead's doorstep, and he's never looked back. We journey with him to his first Dead concert—a serendipitous celebration on Bob Weir's birthday—and through the enchanting live shows that solidified his lifelong devotion. Bruce's tales aren't just about the music; they're a testament to the vibrant community and shared experiences that defined being a Deadhead in the golden '70s and '80s.From the Fourth of July with Bob Dylan co-headlining the Grateful Dead—Bruce was there, and his anecdotes from that iconic 1987 show are just the tip of the iceberg. We navigate through the band's evolving eras, from Keith and Donna to the jazzy stylings of Brent Mydland, and into the hands of cover bands that keep the flame burning brightly. Bruce's narrative includes a nod to local New York legends like Grateful Bro, painting a picture of a scene that refuses to fade away, sustained by the undying passion of fans and musicians alike.Our conversation takes a literary turn as we explore the intersection between the Grateful Dead's cultural phenomenon and the written word, with a spotlight on TC Boyle's "Drop City." We unravel how Boyle's portrayal of freedom and counterculture resonates deeply with Deadheads. Wrapping up, we reflect on the ever-present musical connections that continue to unite and inspire, from spontaneous jams with Bob Weir to the present-day concert scenes that keep the Dead's timeless vibe pulsing through the air. Join us for an unmissable episode that's as much about the music as it is about the memories and the indelible marks they leave on our lives.This episode is sponsored by ShakedownTshirts.com with unique lot-style T-shirts and gifts for Grateful Dead, Phish, Zappa, Panic, and more.

T. C. Boyle ist einer der erfolgreichsten und bekanntesten Schriftsteller unserer Zeit. Mit Romanen wie “Wassermusik”, “Drop City” oder “Ein Freund der Erde” ist er seit über 40 Jahren eine der verlässlichsten Größen im internationalen Literaturbetrieb und hat besonders in Deutschland eine große Fangemeinde. Unser Gespräch fand im Frühsommer statt, und zwar remote über Internetleitung: T. C. Boyle in Montecito, Kalifornien, ich in Berlin. Ich wollte das Gespräch eigentlich komplett auf englisch veröffentlichen, aber dann hätte man vor allem von seinen Antworten wenig verstanden. Deshalb hört ihr es hier nun mit einer deutschen Übersetzung, aber auch vom Original ist noch genug zu hören, so dass Ihr einen Eindruck von seiner Stimme bekommt. Die deutsche Übersetzung spricht mein Kollege Christian Conradi. Viel Spaß! Das ist vorerst die letzte Folge von Das Lesen der Anderen. Allen, die den Podcast gehört, geteilt und unterstützt haben, herzlichen Dank!

From the author of beloved novels like World's End, East Is East, The Road to Wellville, and Drop City, comes a family tale utterly in sync with the absurdity of modern life. The family at the center of BLUE SKIES wants—as so many of us—to do right, get by, in the face of a looming ecological calamity. But, like Job, they are tested over and over by the gods—along with a Burmese python named Willie 2. Scorching temperatures, bee swarms, coastal erosion, invasive species, bug-borne pathogens, low pressure systems, and high pressure stress compete for one's sanity. No amount of cricket flour cookies and chaparral removal can keep the atmospheric rivers and bomb cyclones at bay. As Boyle sets in motion the chain of increasingly dire events that ensnare the enviro-sensitive parents, Ottilie and Frank, their carefree daughter Cat, and her embittered brother Cooper (who loses his arm to a tick bite), BLUE SKIES provides a cathartic—and ultimately moving—study of the human condition caught between fire and rain. T. C. Boyle is a novelist and regular contributor to The New Yorker. He has published eighteen novels, including World's End and The Tortilla Curtain, and twelve collections of short stories. A Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at the University of Southern California, he lives in Santa Barbara. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steve-richards/support

We enjoyed having Zack Giffin on the podcast for part 1 of a small talk on small houses (or - “Tiny Houses”). You may know Zack from “Tiny House Nation” on Netflix, as he is one of the co-hosts of the show! And he is “kind of a big deal” in the tiny house world. We talked with Zack about minimalism, about the needed change in housing as society makes a shift away from the conventional nuclear family structure, and about choosing experiences over possessions. Zack also tells us about his personal choice of living in a tiny house to be able to ski almost full time. Can you imagine packing all that you own into a tiny house on wheels and turning your life into every skier's dream?  Please excuse any audio flubs in this remotely recorded interview.

The ladies take on the fireworks conspiracy! But first, a night message about Colorado intentional community Drop City. More commune geodesic domes and experimental theater companies. What is the most Night Call time zone? How should we return Mount Rushmore to its former sacred natural state? Then, checking out the story about the shitposting cult DayLife Army. What does it look like when a cult is extremely online, seemingly self-aware about being a cult, and dead set on exploiting people's better instincts? Then, it's the moment everyone's been waiting for: ten thousand hours of incredibly loud nonstop fireworks. We lay out the various theories about the fireworks and our own personal takes. Is it the cops? Just kids? Professional fireworks enthusiasts? Or the ghost of dead Paris Review legend, fireworks hobbyist and CIA plant George Plimpton? The big differences between the fireworks in different cities, and why this specific conspiracy feels convoluted but not far-fetched. Is it all a big psy-op? Just innocent 4th of July fun? Or something even more sinister...

Na edição F! #5 do Fora de prumo começamos uma conversa sobre as várias dimensões da ideia de sustentabilidade. Apontamos abordagens que a tomam de uma perspectiva positiva, de uma perspectiva negativa e crítica. Falamos sobre ecossocialismo, cosmopolítica, desenvolvimentos sustentável, entre outros assuntos. Neste episódio conversamos sobre a problemática da sustentabilidade e dos vários discursos associados a ela no universo da arquitetura: qual o impacto de edifícios e cidades no consumo de recursos naturais? Qua experiências já se promoveram a fim de atacar os problemas ligados à ecologia, às mudanças climáticas e o uso racional de recursos no mundo da arquitetura. Neste episódio falamos de ilhas, abelhas, maçãs, colmeias, geodésicas e fossas.

T.C. Boyle is the guest. He is the author of twenty-three books of fiction, including The Tortilla Curtain, Drop City, and World's End, for which he won the PEN/Faulkner award. His latest novel, San Miguel, is now available from Viking.  Publishers Weekly raves "Boyle’s epic saga of struggle, loss, and resilience tackles Pacific pioneer history with literary verve…[he] subtly interweaves the fates of Native Americans, Irish immigrants, Spanish and Italian migrant workers, and Chinese fisherman into the Waters’ and Lesters’ lives, but the novel is primarily a history of the land itself, unchanging despite its various visitors and residents, and as beautiful, imperfect, and unrelenting as Boyle’s characters." And Terry Tempest Williams calls it "A saga of women, three women brought to the island by men…Boyle has carved out a beautiful, damp, atmospheric novel, sharp and exacting…[his] spirited novels are a reckoning with consequence laced with humor, insight, and pathos." Monologue topics: finishing the novel, extremely personal psycho-spiritual tweets, Board.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Maximum Commune (Ugly Business... on the basis of disbelief.) Talking with Australian New York based artist Guy Benfield, about his performance installation work Maximum Commune, part of the Aftermath: Performance Installation series curated by Blair French at Sydney's ART SPACE gallery, right next to the harbour. With the USS Kitty Hawk moored across the street, Guy walked and talked us through his unique work and world. "Maximum Commune... utilises the cultural model of the 'pavilion' juxtaposed with tropes of modernist architecture, examples of hand-built alternative Zome housing originating from Southern California in the 1960s and collectives such as Drop City. Within these structures, Guy Benfield performs a series of actions, 'droppings' or situational episodes that re-animate tropes that were once declared obsolete obsolete, such as ritual, live action painting in the genre of george mathieu, the 'Art informal' movement in France, and the Japanese actionist painting movement - Gutai group. In these performance scenarios Benfield investigates the West Coast Funk Ceramic movement of the late sixties, pottery as an expressionist dialogue and the bourgeois bohemian lifestyle he experienced while growing up insuburban Sydney." The Aftermath: Performance Installation series provides a critical and public focus to the complex relationship of performance to installation art, sharing a genealogy, as they do, in early conceptual and post-object art. Aftermath centres on the installation 'aftermath' of performance, or conversely, performance as a strategy for creation of material environments - the bleeding back and forth of active models of performance and its post-life.Each week one of six artists participating from Australia and abroad will undertake a performance work in one of the Artspace galleries resulting in an installation 'aftermath' and collectively creating a dynamic, rolling set of relationships between changing spaces.
