A funny thing happened on the way to making last week’s Monday Mixteen. WordPress would not allow me to log in to update. Even once that issue was resolved, several previously published articles disappeared. Bah humbug. The plan was to make last week’s Monday Mixteen a tribute to Three Links’ anniversary weekend, and to promote […]
To celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday today, I felt it should be something that was incorporated in today’s Monday Mixteen. The Ghost’s first instinct was to do another acrostic playlist, with the song titles spelling out his name (minus the Jr. part). While I kept with that theme, I felt it was not […]
You may notice that the songs in the below playlist are in the alternating order of the letters S & M. Yes, The Ghost realizes that this theme may be rather controversial. I could have easily shied away from it, but it seems pointless to try to hide one’s deepest desires. Several readers will find […]
Happy new year to all my GOBL readers. It’s time for the first Monday Mixteen of 2019. It feels like it should be an opportunity to explore the future of new music. I learned, however, that January 7th is Old Rock Day. It only seems appropriate that we examine some old rock. The term old […]
Now that The Top 101 of 2018 has been counted down, it might seem that The Ghost’s job is done for the year. The truth is that there are still some loose ends to tie up. While I think I’ve done a decent job at keeping you updated about local and Texas music, there are […]
The Spotify playlist here only features 99 of the tracks. Thanks a lot, Starside R&D and Emmeline for being the rebels that had to not place your songs on Spotify. Well, here are the 99 artists that have their music on Spotify. If you feel so compelled, I provided players for both of the artists […]
So, we’ve gone through #101-71, #70-51, and #50-41 on the year end countdown. All that remains is the Top 40 songs of the year, which shall be revealed Sunday afternoon on Deep Ellum Radio, starting at 3 PM CST. But I’ll bet some of you are wondering which artists will make the Top 40. Well, […]
Now that we’ve made it into the Top 50, I suppose The Ghost should add a little commentary for each track. Fine, I can do that, especially since I only have to do that for ten songs. Yes, it’s an unusually short playlist today. That’s because I’ve saved the remaining Top 40 for Sunday afternoon. […]
Another day, another reveal of countdown songs. Yesterday, you saw #101-71. #70 is something of a rebel. It’s one of one two songs in the countdown that is currently unavailable on Spotify. You can take that up with Starside R&D on January 5, when they perform at Double-Wide along with Kid Fight and Sandovall. So […]
Now that Christmas is over, and you have time to kill until New Year’s Eve, this seems the perfect time to begin The Ghost’s Year End Countdown. For the next three days, I will be highlighting songs that were among the best and most defining tracks for me in 2018. Today, we start at #101, […]
