DHR Guests on KXLU Halloween Special!
For the 2nd year in a row, DHR was invited to guest-DJ on KXLU 88.9 FM’s Levitation Radio for a spooky, kooky, sexy Halloween special broadcast. We got down on creepy sets, interjected with wicked movie soundbites, summoning the studio spirits while setting a sinister mood for listeners. Here’s what we brought to the table.
Arthur Brown – prelude/nightmare
“Children of the night…” (Dracula w/ Bela Lugosi)
Pizza! – husky open-toed camel
Tijuana Panthers – creature
The Purple Gang – the wizard

DHR Beer Pairing Series, Vol. 11: Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin & The Growlers
Of all the pumpkin ales circulating these days -in this fine, blossoming era of the craft brewery revolution- there’s only one which stands tall as an “imperial” pumpkin brew.
From Shipyard Brewing Co.’s Pugsley’s Signature Series, Smashed Pumpkin weighs in at 9% abv. It goes down like sweet candy pumpkin pie, but will sneak up on you like the headless horseman if you’re not careful.
In honor of pumpkins, Halloween, and all things Fall, we’ve paired The Growlers “Empty Bones” with Shipyard’s [...]

DHR on KXLU w/ DJ Jen: Playlist Archives – Nov 11 (Latino Americano y Tropicalia)
This was a special broadcast and a birthday wish come true. Dirty Jeff’s b-day happens to be Veteran’s Day, 11/11, and all he wanted to do was sit at the controls and spin sets of Latin American psychedelia and Brasilian Tropicalia – distinct genres of music which he has for some reason spent numerous years investigating. DJ Jen acquiesced, and we proceeded to open and blow minds. Here’s what we played…

Silk Flowers – “night shades” (New Add)

Grand Elegance visits The Prospector
One of the best, most talented, and enigmatic bands to come out of the LA-Long Beach scene made a grand appearance at The Prospector on Thursday night, Nov 4. Amidst life’s incessant hectic dance, a Grand Elegance performance has at times become far and few between. Some get married, some have kids, others moonlight in 3 additional bands, and most still slave away in the workforce. It ain’t easy, and it ain’t always fun. But we hope we can always [...]
