September has been a crazy month for me. For the majority of the month, The Ghost did not record any radio shows. Blogging has largely been limited to the usual Monday Mixteen posts. Still, there were some notable events this month. I did get to premier a new Salim Nourallah track. I shared some cool […]
It’s been awhile, so let’s take this VW for a drive and make sure this baby still runs. Next week, I’ll be featuring the Ghosty nominated videos for Video Wednesday. Today, however, The Ghost has three (relatively) new videos for your viewing pleasure. The first video is one that many suggested should be nominated for […]

Technically speaking, the season of summer begins on June 21, then wraps up September 22. To the majority of people, the bookends of summer are the holidays of Memorial Day and Labor Day. With those dates in mind, The Ghost is reflecting on the music of summer defined as the tracks released between those dates. […]
Earlier this month was the 11 year anniversary of the beginning of this blog. The blog anniversary is not to be confused with the birthday of myself, which was Saturday. Thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday, as well as those who helped me celebrate it this Saturday. In honor of that birthday, […]
Yes, The Ghost has been short on words lately. I speak plenty through my Deep Ellum Radio show. The written word is where I’ve been lacking. But there’s this saying about a picture being worth a thousand words, but alas, I’m no great photographer. Fortunately for The Ghost, I received an email from Mary Finn […]
The challenge I face every week is coming up with new and inventive themes for playlists. The themes are sometimes not as creative as The Ghost would like. The theme for the Monday Mixteen you are about to hear may be THE definitive playlist I have ever come up with. The theme? Songs that start […]
