Mickey Hart of Grateful Dead interview with DHR!
DHR’s Jeff Vincent had the great pleasure of interviewing the legendary Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead. Wait, great pleasure? Yeah right, more like explosive experience! We talked mostly about cosmic music humming through the endless universe.
“There’s 2 elements… music of the whole earth… And the music of the cosmos… that I’ve been sampling from the radiation of the epic events in the universe… From The Big Bang, when God put his foot down and the great groove began.”
Okay, that’s [...]
Terrapin interview with Free Download of Innermachine LP
Terrapin – innermachine. Cover art by Andrew Wilson.
There’s a wistful mystique surrounding this wonderful album by LA/So Cal psychedelic, shoegazey rock band The Terrapin. As the LP followup to their Kill… EP, innermachine captures the band at both its creative height and melancholy parting of ways.
“The innermachine line-up of the band reached a point where it became difficult for the interpersonal to be separate from the music,” shares Rufo Chan, drummer of The Terrapin. “It was [...]

The Brothers Comatose new LP Respect The Van advance release on DHR
The band’s interests include, “Banging away on stringed instruments. Singing. Beer. Camping. Hiking. Drinking coffee. Listening to records. Road trips.” We’re so already there…
They’re The Brothers Comatose, and they’re generating some seriously professional music from San Francisco, CA. In conjunction with two dog media, these fine fellows have provided DHR with an advance copy of their new LP “Respect The Van,” due out May 22, 2012.

Moon Block Party Presents: Desert Daze Festival
We are dumbfounded and nearly speechless by the sheer magnitude and brilliance of this momentous event. Our hats are off, and our pull-string beards down, to Moon Block Party for procuring Desert Daze Festival. With more bands than we care to count (maybe like 100 or something), the whole shebang runs 11 days strong at Dillon’s Roadhouse in Desert Hot Springs, Ca. Entry is free with a $5 donation suggested! Unbelievable. Gorgeous.
As it all began a week ago on Apr. [...]
Brook and River and their small smiles
There’s something called small smiles. It’s a quirky approach to smiling, in which the smiler attempts to suppress the smile to a restricted breadth. It sounds silly, and it is, maybe even eerie, like something from The Twilight Zone; but it’s also quite difficult to achieve, the primary obstacle being laughter. To simply not smile largely seems to affect the opposite, and the act of smiling small usually ends with a giggle. While the small sensation may not be sweeping [...]
Ticket giveaway for guitar legend Phil Keaggy!
Hendrix, Clapton, Keaggy: forgotten legend plays Brixton
The legendary Phil Keaggy plays Brixton Sunday night, located on Redondo Beach pier.
Hiding in the shadows of rock and roll’s guitar greats, like a bursting blast of light for those who find him, and a legend to those who always knew him, is one of the more gifted giants who simply slipped away from common knowledge. Regardless of whether his name is spoken across the dinner table, he remains in rank with the [...]

Over a year ago, Levitation Radio granted us a birthday wish: to play 3 hours of Latin American psych and Brasilian Tropicalia. It was [...]
