Today’s reveal on the countdown will show songs #60-51. Instead of just displaying those ten songs, however, it seemed like a good time to do a full on recap. So here you go, #101 all the way to #51. That completes the bottom half of the countdown. Alright, so technically it’s a little less than […]
So, if you missed it yesterday, The Ghost has started his year end countdown. Unlike previous years, this is the first year that Texas songs (and “Sorta Texas” songs) are eligible to chart on the countdown. Also, you’ve probably noticed that in past countdowns, I limit each artist to one song. This year, I’m making […]
Expect an announcement very, very soon regarding the Ghosty Award ceremony. In the meantime, I figure it’s time to start shining the spotlight on some nominees. We’ll start with the nominees for Best EP. Since EP’s are short by nature, I’ll keep my comments brief as well. Feel free to vote in this category (and […]
So, have you check out my list of the Best Albums of 2016 (so far)? I’d encourage you to do so now if you haven’t already. Today’s Sunday Spotify 16 is something of an extension to that list. The Ghost has included alternate favorite choices from certain albums and EPs. In addition, I’m mentioning several […]

The result? It was one of the least view and listened to playlists thus far. Well, this week I decided […]
Don’t let the photo fool you. This, alas, isn’t a Prince themed playlist. Just a little way to pay homage to the purple one. Now, on with some local musics… Ten Can Riot, “401” If you’re needing a good show to attend tonight, there is only one acceptable option in The Ghost’s book. Head to […]
So first, let me apologize for the vanishing blog posts last week. While those posts have forever disappeared into an interweb black hole, there should be no further issues with this and future posts. Also, I’m trying to get some cool stuff up and going this week. I have some awesome post ideas, plus the […]
Greetings once again, GOBL readers. I apologize for the lack of posts lately. An illness has kept me down for a little bit, but I’m happy to say that I’m recovering, and want to thank all the well wishers, friends, and the like. It’s nice to be back to my old local music loving self, […]
