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.
Most Valentine’s plans look the same — crowded restaurants, overpriced flowers, and reservations made weeks in advance.
We offer something a little different.
Music in the Desert returns this Saturday at 5 PM MST with a special Goth Valentine’s Party in the desert, hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious.
Instead of a formal night out, this is an evening of firelight, desert skies, and live performance. The show features original music and covers, including the song “An Uncertain Silence” by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.
Watch free from home on YouTube and TikTok through Colquhoun Entertainment
This livestream has become a gathering place for people who want something more personal than a typical concert — part performance, part community, and part late-night conversation around a virtual campfire.
Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a partner, friends, or simply enjoying the night, you’re invited to join us.
If you’ve watched our latest video, you probably heard the question we get constantly:
“Why does a campground need a membership?”
Fair question.
Most campgrounds are designed for temporary stays. You pull in, set up, stay a few days, and then move along. You might wave to your neighbors… but by the time you learn their name, they’re already packing up.
We realized something.
We weren’t trying to create a place people visit. We were trying to create a place people belong.
At Ka-Hoon Campground – Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, we kept meeting incredible travelers, off-gridders, artists, musicians, and people looking for a quieter life. But the structure of a normal campground meant they had to leave just when friendships started forming.
So we changed the model.
What the Membership Actually Is
The membership isn’t a resort pass. It isn’t a timeshare. It isn’t an HOA.
It’s simply how we keep a stable community instead of a revolving parking lot.
Instead of strict campground policies, our philosophy is simple:
Respect is the rule.
We don’t want a place full of paperwork and enforcement — we want a place where people naturally look out for each other, share skills, and create something together.
What Makes It Different
Our members aren’t just campers. They become part of daily life here.
People garden. People build projects. People share meals. People play music. People host events.
We host regular activities including:
People build projects.
People share meals.
People play music.
People host events.
We host regular activities including:
Music in the Desert live shows
Karaoke nights
Movies and gatherings
Seasonal events
Some members stay a short time. Some stay much longer.
The goal was never to build a campground. The goal was to build a community where people can slow down and live differently.
Who It’s For
This place tends to attract:
Off-grid and solar living enthusiasts
RV and van lifers
Tiny home travelers
Creatives and makers
People escaping strict HOA living
Anyone wanting a quieter, more intentional environment
It’s not luxury camping. It’s not a party resort. It’s a shared space built on mutual respect.
Why We Made the Video
Because the word “membership” confuses people.
It sounds formal — but the reality is the opposite. The membership simply allows us to know who is here, keep the environment safe, and maintain a few real community members rather than alway constantly changing campground.
If you’re looking for a place to just park , we offer multiple platforms to book through
If you’re looking for a place to settle for a while and meet people who actually know your name — you probably understand immediately.
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.
Stay tuned for Music in the Desert livestreams, happening Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Enjoy originals, covers, parodies, and storytelling — all set against the backdrop of the New Mexico desert.
**Music in the Desert** returns with another live desert broadcast hosted by **Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious**, bringing original music, parody, atmosphere, and a little weirdness straight from the off-grid desert to your screen.

When It Streams
**Music in the Desert streams every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.**
Showtime is **dependent on weather and solar energy** — since the entire production runs off sunlight and available daylight hours, start times may vary slightly.
(That’s the reality of true off-grid entertainment!)

Why We Do This
Music in the Desert exists to prove something simple:
You don’t need a big stage, a giant city, or corporate backing to create art.
Sometimes all you need is:
* a dream * some solar panels * a little madness * and people willing to watch.
Whether you’re a long-time supporter or discovering it for the first time, you’re invited to join the show and become part of the community that makes it possible.
So grab a drink, sit back, and experience live music from one of the most unusual venues you’ll ever see.
I Planned My Own Surprise Birthday Party (And You’re Invited)
So… here’s the situation.
Today is my birthday.
And yes… I planned my own **surprise party**.
Before anyone asks — no, I didn’t ruin the surprise. I simply made sure it existed.
Welcome to a special edition of **Music in the Desert**, where instead of cake and balloons, we celebrate with desert air, strange art, and live music echoing across the mesa.
Honestly, off-grid living teaches you an important lesson: If you want a good party… sometimes you have to schedule it yourself.

Music in the Desert — LIVE Today at 5 PM MST
Join us **today at 5 PM MST** for a unique livestream concert hosted from the desert.
It’s what happens when art, storytelling, and live performance meet the quiet of the desert. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes strange, sometimes serious — but it’s always real.
No crowds. No noise. Just sound carried by open sky.

Come Celebrate With Us
This one is a little different — because it doubles as a birthday celebration. Instead of gifts, we just want listeners, conversation, and people willing to hang out for a while.
If you’ve ever needed an excuse to slow down tonight, this is it.
**Music by:** 🔥 ** Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band ** 👉 https://www.advocatusdiaboliandthegrimleaferband.com Come listen, hang out, and help celebrate another successful year of surviving deserts, music, life, and whatever *this* timeline is.

Why Plan Your Own Surprise Party?
Because:
* You control the music * You control the vibe * You know who’s showing up * And cake tastes better when there’s live music
Also, let’s be honest — this isn’t a *birthday party*. It’s a **survival party**.
We’ve survived heat, dust, off-grid chaos, creative madness, and the general weirdness of being unapologetically different. That deserves music. Loud, honest, desert-born music.
