DHR on KXLU – Playlist 4/7/11, Dirty Jeff’s Psychotropic Sounds

Well, DJ Jen decided to take a vacation. A much deserved vacation. So while she was out gallivanting the city nights while dodging sexy city men under heavy moonlight, Dirty Jeff got to sit in her chair, fill her shoes, and taste the sweet life from the captain’s seat on her show at KXLU (88.9FM Los Angeles).

The dynamo force that is DJ Jenny Gee of KXLU and Dirty Jeff of DHR is nearly overbearing. The sheer incredulity of the mind-blowing [...]

Some Ear-Candy Halloween Jams For Ya

Dirty Hippie Radio get’s into the Halloween spirit – in fact I just made it through Nightmare On Elm Street 7 last night – and it got me thinking of my favorite “Halloween” movies. I can’t deny Killer Clowns From Outerspace, The Monster Squad, Little Monsters, The Lost Boys (and others, oh others); but this one just really gets me going, and it’s got such a groovy soundtrack!

Mad Monster Party? is undoubtedly one of the utmost classic Halloween movies of [...]

DHR Guest DJ on KXLU Los Angeles Oct. 7 noon-3pm

We are very excited to share that Dirty Hippie Radio has been invited to guest DJ on 88.9 KXLU, Los Angeles, Oct 7 from noon-3! Thanks DJ Jen!!

The tale takes place on an unruly, uncommonly oppressive, hot sizzling night in downtown Los Angeles.  And it begins nonetheless with a Fartbarf show and a limo. That is to say Fartbarf was playing at The Smell (downtown LA) with TV Buddahs, The Fadies, and Foot Village, and we needed a ride. Who [...]

An Historic Live Music Event: Kid Infinity 3D Experience

This has never been done before in the history of live music, ever! Kid Infinity presents: Kid Infinity, The 3D Experience.

All I’m going to say is that Ryan Pardeiro and Nathan Huberwere (Kid Infinity) are up to something very, very heavy. According to hearsay I received from someone from Cobalt Cranes, who heard it from K.I. themselves, this 3D concept and technology was going to be used in Michael Jackson’s last tour; but he departed of course before it could [...]

Silver Lake Jubilee Festival

We want kids to be talking about DHR so much that parents think it must be the latest drug fad. We want our station to make the party like the rug that really ties the room together. We’ll see you at the festival if you’re there, and when we do we’ll give you a cool sticker and a high-five.
