The Humboldt Chronicles - Dispatches from Marijuana Country

 

Whether you know it or not, everyone on the north coast is affected by marijuana.

Weed has long played a major role in Humboldt's culture, politics, social structure and economy, and it's emerging from the subculture faster than ever before.  

We're excited to air our new radio documentary series, "The Humboldt Chronicles: Dispatches from Marijuana Country." 

The first episode shows just how deep pot money runs in Humboldt's economy. It's hosted by SoHum journalist Kym Kemp and debuts on KSLG at 6pm on Tuesday, February 7th.

Oh, The Places You'll Go!

This Burning Man telling of the Dr. Seuss classic, "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" is making the rounds on Facebook -- watch for Humboldt's own Duane Flatmo making an appearance (well, his octopus sculpture, anyway). It's sweet!

"Savage"-O-Heaven?

KSLG DJ Jen Savage experiences a photo comic crisis!

Regular weekend listeners know that your afternoon host Jen Savage just adores Seven-O-Heaven. It's the absolutely best and funniest photocomic in a Humboldt County weekly publication! So you can imagine her sorrow/fury when she opened up the NCJ a few weeks ago to... nothing! No explanation! Not being the sort of fan to tolerate creator Andrew Goff's slacktastic ways, she's determined to bring back 7OH for not only herself, but all of Humboldt. And beyond

Follow along:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

BREAKING: New Music From Hitch/Dragged By Horses Members

This track showed up in the email today. Drummer Steve Bohner wouldn't confirm the name, but said they were called "Yeti Fight" this week.

Details are sparse, but here's what we believe: 

  • Pablo Midence - Guitar/Vocals? 
  • Steve Bohner - Drums
  • Roshawn Beere - Bass
  • Andy Sorter - Keys

Yeti Fight - Lord Ellis

With spacious vocals, super-heavy drums, and epic keyboard lines, it evokes Wolfmother, if Wolfmother was a bearded parolee debating whether or not to knock over that bank for kicks.

The North Coast Journal had a piece about them earlier this year. But will this album ever get released? Until then, we wait.
