Dark Beatles dwell in Mini Mansions

Pretty much everyone loves The Beatles, except this one guy I know. He says they’re too “bubble gum pop.” In that case, he and any of his sacrilegious kind may very well prefer a Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley band called Mini Mansions. They possess a distinctly Beatle-esque pop appeal, but it’s impregnated with a darkness. There’s something a little more sinister, raw and [...]
Assless Chaps & Fartbarf at Texas Loosey’s, Singer/Songwriters at Suzy’s
Fartbarf performs Texas Loosey's in Torrance, CA Jan. 6
Fartbarf
I still hear people mumble about how these guys shoot themselves in the foot with a name like Fartbarf. Bottom line: they sound good, they look good, they perform good; so, those incapable of accepting their silly name may as well make an appointment with the podiatrist.
Fartbarf call their sound more eclectic than the offspring of a Tijuana hooker, and have defined themselves as post-Neanderthal Analog Synthesizer Rock n’ [...]
5-Track & Glass Goblins/Marc Cantlin II “3 Moments Til Dawn” Split Single just added!
"3 Moments Til Dawn" Split Single by 5-Track & Glass Goblins/Marc Cantlin II
To be honest, when we were approached by Zlicious Productions about 5-Track, we were a little skeptical. I mean, we get a lot of music coming our way, a shit ton of inquiries, submissions, uploads; and well, some of it’s just crap. That’s the way it is. Not everyone makes good music.
The thing was, unfairly, we presumptuously and preemptively feared that 5-Track would be a wash, due [...]
Freeform Radio and the Importance of KXLU
Zach and Tyler Bozeman of Temporal Love at KXLU after an interview with Dirty Hippie Radio on Jen G’s Levitation Radio (noon to 3 p.m. on Thursdays). Sean Price was stuck at work.
If music is magic, then DJs are wizards and witches. And if mainstream-corporate radio plays music, then the DJs are robots. Granted, the world needs songs like Boston’s “More Than A Feeling,” but it can do without hearing it on a prescheduled basis numerous times a day, [...]
It’s Murder On The 405

“Joey tried to kill me in the back of the Bandpax limo coming home from a party in Hollywood. We were hanging out with the guys from Bandpax and they have this bitchin’ ’84 Cadillac limo… We went to some event where there was free whiskey, so we were all hammered… I was talking about [...]

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 on KXLU: Playlist Archives – Oct. 14
So our debut appearance at KXLU 88.9 FM went so well; rather, kicked so much ass, that Dirty Jeff has been welcomed in as a fixed guest DJ. It is DJ Jen’s show from noon-3 every Thursday, but DJ Dirty Jeff has become a permanent guest of sorts that just won’t go away. (Well I humor the situation, but truth is DJ Jen and I share musical affinity on various levels, and what we’ve got going on together in the [...]
Neil Young saw the future, and it was Fartbarf!
There’s been much debate about the nature of Neil Young’s 1982 electronic album “Trans”. Was it a premonitory vision of the future of music? A satirical criticism on society’s voracious embrace of technological encroachment? Was a disgruntled Neil “flipping the bird” to the record label? Or was he trying to transmit a warning to the future about 3 electronic apemen who would pose threat of world domination? Dirty Hippie Radio thinks it could be a little bit of everything…
At any [...]
