VUM LP “Night Sun” recently added!

As wolves serenade the Moon,
She smiles at their croon,
While wading in glimmering pools,
Rolling eyes at crazed fools,
Admiring herself with silver giggle,
Hiding beneath the shimmering riddle,
That no creature dances tonight,
Below magical moonlight,
For she knows she has none,
They worship the Night Sun.

Night Sun, by Jeff Vincent (inspired by The Moon, Donner Pass, and VUM)

Our placid pools were so disturbed by VUM’s debut release of “Strange Attractor,” that we  tossed and turned sweaty nights away in angst-riddled anticipation for the follow up [...]

DHR Video Exclusive – VUM live at RVCA

Here’s another one of our great, poor-quality videos for ya’ll. VUM, live at the RVCA retail store on Fairfax in Los Angeles.

We’re not just bringing you the best music pulsing through the streets of the independent music community by sitting at our desks, clicking away from behind our radiant computer screens… We’re also part of that pulse, and we hit those streets; we go to as many shows as we can, meet as many bands and friends as we may, [...]

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 [...]

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.

Ostentatious Apples

I hate waxed apples.  I mean, c’mon, it’s so unnecessary.   Are we so narcissistic that we need to see ourselves in the glimmering shine of our polished Whashingtons, Braeburns, and Fujis?  Hell no!   It’s just another case of overproduced music. Say whaaat?  Yeah, I do think of overproduced music when I am forced to eat a (fake) shiny apple.   I think of great music, like great fruit, that is spoiled with the over dazzled, superficial festoonery [...]
