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.

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
Sam Gopal – season [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
