This Saturday, the local music community lost a great soul. Droo D’Anna lost his battle with COVID and transcended into the afterworld. Not only was he the master mind behind Droo’s Peace Crush, he hosted many an open mic, helping foster new talent within the metroplex. He was a kind soul who radiated joy, and […]
Have you ever noticed that on a musician’s birthday, they always want to play their music? Forget a chance to just relax and enjoy performances by their friends and favorite acts. Nope, most it seems would rather take the opportunity to be on stage themselves. Tonight is the birthday of Leah Lane, who will be […]
Keepin’ it real. I haven’t felt inspired to write lately. I’ve had ideas after ideas for articles, playlist, etc. yet have lacked the motivation to post anything. The Monday Mixteen I’m sharing below was supposed to be shared last week. It was a review of sixteen of my favorite tracks released in the first quarter […]
Unless if you’ve been living under a rock. you have probably heard about the two COVID related mandates issued by Governor Abbott. These mandates, which go into effect Wednesday, deal with business capacity, and the other with masks in public. The first part allows all business to operate at 100% capacity. I will admit that […]
It’s been a little over a year since America learned of its first COVID death. The following year has been hard for pretty much everyone on both a personal and financial note. Some industries, however, have found their livelihoods more impacted by the pandemic than others. Those in the music and artistic communities have been […]
Last week was indeed a long week. While The Ghost was without heat, neither power nor water services were disrupted. That means that through space heaters, firewood, and cats, I made it through the week alright. Plus, I had lots of spare time. In fact, I took the opportunity to do some painting classes, where […]
Blogging, at its best, is a privilege. The opportunity to share music and news in our local community (and beyond) brings me more joy than you may realize. At its worst, however, it can feel like an added duty. A large amount of work goes into the Monday Mixteen segments, as well as a Ten […]
I do realize that many of y’all will not get to pay the normal level of attention to these ten tracks. That’s what being without power or internet in the midst of the coldest Dallas weather in The Ghost’s lifetime will do. Fortunately, these ten songs will not suffer from hypothermia if you don’t listen […]
The Ghost hopes everyone is staying warm this Monday, and please stay off the roads if at all possible. This winter weather is nothing to play around with. I figure that my readers need something to help keep them warm. While I cannot do anything to help your levels of physical warmth, perhaps this playlist […]
It’s true that The Ghost has not recorded any new episodes of GOBL Radio so far this year. That will likely not change until sometime in March. Let’s not forget, though, that GOBL Radio is far from the only show on the station. For starters, you can listen to DJ Crash’s Beyond Punk show every […]
