Last week I alluded to Malheur—a French word which translates as “misfortune”—having a kind of name-place irony, back in 2016. It was national news. Maybe you recall?But, before I go further I want to take a moment to say that telling this story makes me a bit uncomfortable. On the surface it has little to do with the sound of Malheur, with music, with a connection to nature. And, because it involves the US Government, it has political overtones. Birds aren't political, right? Why dredge it all up? Aren't we all overburdened with current events as it is?Literally speaking, birds are not political. But, birds have symbolic resonance. “Hawks” want war, “doves” seek peace. Consider the phrase “canary in the coal mine”. What does it mean, exactly? It's a metaphor that relies on the sensitivity of birds to detect danger. Canaries are more sensitive to toxic air than humans. Sometimes stories from the past can help bring the present into focus. Posting about politics just seems exhausting and unproductive, right? It's usually just preaching to the choir in an echo chamber. Meanwhile, reading political articles often just leads to feeling a pit in one's stomach. I know I'm not alone, and I know it happens across political divides. While I do feel timid, learning about the history of the landscapes I visit makes me to feel more connected to them, and gives me a little courage to bring up uncomfortable, but worthwhile topics. The Malheur Wildlife Refuge OccupationIn January of 2016, a far-right militia led by Ammon Bundy, averaging maybe a two to three dozen in number, occupied the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Their demands? That the Federal Government cede ownership of refuge lands to “the people of Harney County”, and for ranchers to be allowed to graze their cattle as they see fit, unencumbered by federal permits. It was a stunning move, coupled with unusual imagery: video clips of AR rifle-toting men shuffling around in cowboy hats and winter coats, speaking in soft voices. Their enemy, the federal government, was an off-camera abstraction, seemingly immutable as the snow-covered landscape. It was a strange spectacle. The backstory for this flashpoint goes back many years, involving episodic tensions over federal land use in the western US. The reason it played out at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge seems like, well, bad luck—misfortune. The spark was the re-sentencing of two local ranchers, the Hammonds (father and son) to serve out the remainder of a minimum five year prison term for a conviction of arson. (An exhaustive Wikipedia entry on the arson cases does not paint a sympathetic portrait of the Hammonds' actions.) A small protest rally for the Hammonds in nearby Burns, OR in December 2015 was co-opted by Bundy and others—who all lived out of state—when they attempted to galvanize resentments, and escalate the protest. This took shape as the occupation of the nearby Malheur Wildlife Refuge, which lasted for 41 daysIn the aftermath, one occupier, LaVoy Finicum, was shot dead in a climactic altercation with FBI and law enforcement. The federal government tallied over six million dollars in costs for repair and restoration to the refuge facilities, while state and county agencies attributed over three million dollars in costs related to the dust-up. The vast majority of county residents, and the Hammonds themselves, did not approve of the occupation. In a surprise legal conclusion, Ammon Bundy and six other occupiers were acquitted of conspiracy to impede federal officers, the charge the government brought in the wake of the ordeal. The verdict seemed to be chalked up to: 1) A thin presentation with scant evidence meeting the specific requirements of the charge, and 2) far-reaching defense arguments, including revelations FBI informants may have overstepped with behaviors that smacked of entrapment. Together this appeared to sow reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.The verdict was a bitter pill for most people following the story to swallow. How is it possible that a small number of people could take over a wildlife refuge—involving breaking and entering, aggravated trespass, and trespass with a firearm—for well over a month and face no consequences? Some observers see a loose connection between Malheur and the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. Malheur was arguably a precursor, emboldening extremist groups by reinforcing the idea of taking over government property as a viable form of protest.In this way the president's broad pardons given to over 1200 individuals convicted for their involvement in the 2021 Capitol riot does not bode well.So…?So where does that leave us today? Well, for starters, Malheur Wildlife Refuge (and the nearby Steens Mountains, and Alvord Desert) are wild, beautiful, wide open places. If that sounds interesting, consider making the trip! You'll be happy you did!But what else is it about the 2016 Malheur occupation that seems uncannily similar to right now? Is there a canary in a coal mine here?Let's think…A small number of people…taking over government buildings…wielding power like self-righteous vigilantes…with a disdain for bureaucracy…a hostility toward government oversight…a belief in private control over public resources…a belief that their actions represent the will of the people, when it's far from clear that they do. Sound familiar?I have an answer in mind and maybe you do too. But, I don't want to dignify the annoyingly-named entity by mentioning it here.Any conclusions one can draw from the Malheur occupation are blurry, unsatisfying, and when tallied up in a ledger, offer more losses than gains. From a more detached point of view—perhaps closer to that of a migratory bird—all that remains when you subtract out the egos, the surprise plot twists, the courtroom dramas, the short-sightedness, the logic and the absurdity of it all, is the wordless landscape. The habitat.Is the habitat more or less functional? Water, food, shelter—is it easier or harder to come by? For some, or for all?Habitats like Malheur can appear simple at a glance. Wet basin, scrubby uplands, big sky. Boring. But if you bear witness to the land, if you just listen to it in the spring, you can hear it. It's complex. It's structural. The sound has order. The wildlife voices fit together, they make room for one another. I would go so far as to say it's musical. It's a complexity forged over time. It's easily broken, and difficult to rebuild.Thanks for reading and listening. I'm grateful for you.

By 2014, the band's sophomore release, Western Horror, leaned into a cinematic direction, immersing listeners into a wordless narrative that probably belongs best to a Tarantino film.The following release of 2016, TDIII - Tokes, Hatred & Caffeine, saw the group tightening its compositions, resulting in an album that featured a total of 12 tracks over the span of 40-minutes. Gone were the long, drawn-out build ups! Tumbleweed Dealer began to favor quickly undulating cascades of harmonies, all of which were played against a rhythm section that openly showcased a vast array of musical influences.While the band never actively toured, they played the occasional show. Scarce as they were, the band traveled as far as California to share their mastery of the loop station and to recreate their soundscapes in a live setting while commanding the stage with the authority of the seasoned extreme metal veterans that made up their ranks at the time.By the time composition started for an eventual fourth album, the group's live lineup had dissolved. What started as a simple decision to ward off the need to write music that can be recreated in front of a live audience quickly grew into what Sebastien coined a “bucket list album”, a shining new opportunity to indulge in every adventurous musical thought in a way that was free from any concern about the feasibility of its pieces. Pairing themselves with an unlikely drummer early in the creative process, Angelo Fata from local hardcore bands Jesus Horse and Hopeless Youth, group mainstays Painchaud and Joubaud went on to craft songs that merged oppositional forces of vintage sounds with modern ideas. Mellotrons, Hammonds, and Rhodes were added on top of jazzy, funky riffs that managed to maintain the group's melodic pallet in a way that pushed it further. If there was an elevator pitch to sum this new direction up, it might go something like this: “What if Toe and Camel got high together in a swamp?”More than 8 years in the making, Tumbleweed Dealer's main driving force, Seb Painchaud, not only thinks that this album reflects a life-spanning culmination of his experience as a musician and composer, but also of his life as an avid musical fan with an obsessive need to discover new artists, genres, and sounds. Though he has released records with various projects since his early twenties, Dark Green is the album he has been working on his whole life, whether he knew it or not.

Jas Hammond's debut novel, WE DESERVE MONUMENTS won the Coretta Scott King John Steptoe Award for New Talent, received B&N YA Book Award shortlist recognition, and garnered acclaim as a “Best Book of the Year” by BuzzFeed, People, Parents, Amazon, and more. THIRSTY, their      second YA novel, explores society's normalization of alcoholism through protagonist, Blake, who's trying to gain admittance into an elite sorority while coming to terms with her alcohol addiction.     It's the summer before college and eighteen-year-old Blake Brenner and her girlfriend, Ella, have one goal: join the mysterious and exclusive Serena Society. The sorority promises status and lifelong connections to a network of powerful, trailblazing women of color. Ella's acceptance is a sure thing—she's the daughter of a Serena alum. Blake, however, has a lot more to prove. As a former loner from a working-class background, Blake lacks Ella's pedigree and confidence. Luckily, she finds courage at the bottom of a liquor bottle. When she drinks, she's bold, funny, and unstoppable—and the Serenas love it. But as pledging intensifies, so does Blake's drinking, until it's seeping into every corner of her life. Ella assures Blake that she's fine; partying hard is what it takes to make the cut . . . But success has never felt so much like drowning. With her future hanging in the balance and her past dragging her down, Blake must decide how far she's willing to go to achieve her glittering dreams of success—and how much of herself she's willing to lose in the process.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this whirlwind episode of The Dumb Zone, we're dialing up the nostalgia with a call to none other than Christopher "Kid" Reid of Kid 'n Play, only to be ghosted by his voicemail. But fear not, the laughs keep coming as we dive into the saga of a Whataburger patron who learns the hard way that he "ain't fresh," and the internet has a field day.We then pivot to the bittersweet symphony of ex-Rangers organist Dustin Tatro, whose organ once serenaded World Series champs but now faces an uncertain future. From his tales of restoring vintage Hammonds to his impassioned pleas for the return of baseball tradition, Tatro's story strikes a chord with fans of the game and the organ alike.In a twist of fate, we stumble upon the curious case of Wade Phillips' Twitter antics, where a melting mishap of Blue Bell ice cream sends us spiraling into confusion and laughter.

And for the grand finale, our very own Jake delivers a heartfelt, if somewhat perplexing, tribute to UNT, rounding off an episode that's as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.So join us, folks, for an episode of The Dumb Zone that's sure to leave your head spinning and your sides splitting.
