If you think off-grid desert living is peaceful… you’ve never had free-range cattle ring your doorbell.
Yes. Ring. The. Doorbell.
Out here at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, home of Music in the Desert, we share the land with sunsets, coyotes, stargazers… and apparently very bold cattle with boundary issues.
Last night the free-range cattle came back. They didn’t just pass through.
They:
• rubbed against the posts • bent a few poles • snapped some solar lights • and politely rang the doorbell before leaving
This is what real off-grid life in New Mexico looks like.
While most venues worry about parking tickets, we’re out here replacing solar lights because a 1,200-pound cow wanted to scratch its shoulder.
But that’s desert life. Wild. Unfiltered. Slightly destructive.
And honestly? We wouldn’t trade it.
Because when the sun sets and Music in the Desert goes live, there’s nothing like live music under the New Mexico sky — even if the cattle were here first.
If you’re looking for authentic off-grid camping, live desert music, stargazing, and occasional livestock shenanigans… welcome home.
Something unexpected — and honestly a little magical — happened after Music in the Desert this week here at Plateau hame de Colquhoun.
Every show night, once our live stream ends from Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center, we do what our community has come to call “The Jump.”
The Jump is simple in idea, but powerful in effect.
After our broadcast, we travel together as a group into another creator’s live stream — usually a karaoke host — not to take over, but to support. We encourage our viewers to follow along, meet new people, support performers, and help smaller creators grow. It has become one of the most community-building traditions of Colquhoun
Colquhoun Entertainment.
This time, we landed inside Iluvpots Karaoke.
And that’s when something special happened.
A Song We Didn’t Plan
While visiting the live, Advocatus Diaboli decided to perform an original song titled:
“Sanctuary of Intricacies.”
The performance wasn’t scheduled, rehearsed for a show, or promoted beforehand. It was spontaneous — the way some of the best art happens. With Melodious moderating and our community gathered in support, the live karaoke room suddenly became a small concert venue.
The song carries a reflective tone and fits perfectly with what Music in the Desert has always been about: connection, creativity, and shared moments between strangers who become friends.
Moments like this are exactly why we do The Jump.
We don’t just stream a show — we build bridges between communities.
What “The Jump” Really Is
The Jump is not a raid for attention. It is a gesture of appreciation.
We invite our audience to join us in supporting another host, cheering on performers, and helping create a welcoming atmosphere. Sometimes Advocatus Diaboli sings covers, sometimes parodies, and occasionally — like this night — an original piece appears.
“Sanctuary of Intricacies” became one of those rare moments where the audience, the host, and the performers all experienced something unplanned together.
That is the spirit behind Music in the Desert.
Join Us Live

You never know where the night will lead — or where the next song will be heard.
Big changes are here — and we’re excited to share them with you.
Off-Grid Talk is officially becoming Off-Grid Campfire Chat. 🏕️🔥
While the name is changing, the heart of the show remains the same.
Same hosts. Same real conversations. Same off-grid mindset. Just a stronger campfire vibe and a name that better reflects what we’ve been building together.
Why the Change?
As our community has grown, so has the vision. Off-Grid Campfire Chat represents gathering, storytelling, authenticity, and connection — just like sitting around a fire under the open sky.
This evolution feels right. It feels natural. And it feels like home.
No Show Today
Due to life circumstances, there will not be an episode today. We appreciate your understanding and continued support more than you know.
We’ll be back soon — stronger, refocused, and ready to gather around the campfire again.

“Watch live weekly from Plateau Hame de Colquhoun in New Mexico — Music in the Desert hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious”
Today at NOON MST, step away from the fluorescent lights, emails, and reheated leftovers and join us for a relaxed mid-day livestream — Off-Grid Talk with Melodious.
Broadcasting straight from the New Mexico desert at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, this isn’t a podcast, and it isn’t a lecture. It’s more like sitting outside with friends while solar panels hum, coffee brews, and dogs supervise absolutely everything.
We’ll be talking about: • real off-grid living • solar life and daily challenges • RV and desert living • weird stories from the middle of nowhere • whatever the dogs decide is important
Bring your lunch. Bring your coffee. Or just bring your need to mentally escape work for a little while.
Today we’re going live again with *Music in the Desert*, a weekly solar-powered broadcast from our off-grid homestead in the New Mexico desert. No venue, no grid power — just sunlight, batteries, storytelling, and music.
Hosted by Advocatus Diaboli & Melodious, the show blends singing, parody songs, originals, covers, and unexpected moments that only happen when you’re broadcasting from the middle of nowhere. Sometimes wildlife even wanders past the cameras.
Watch this amazing short video from our off-grid homestead in the New Mexico desert! From unexpected wildlife visitors — like a fox spotted during the Super Bowl — to breathtaking desert scenery, every moment here is unique. Experience the magic of our solar-powered, off-grid lifestyle and explore live music performances by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.

When It Streams
