It is The Ghost’s privilege to debut the new video from Relick for “Today Sunshine.” The clip, directed by Shanna Lucas, shows Matt and Amber Hibbard from the band enjoying a day of fun at an amusement park. The day that the video was shot, however, the weather was overcast and rainy. Matt noted how […]
Alright, so May hasn’t been my month. In fact, this is the first blog post of May, and the entire month happened with zero episodes of GOBL Radio. Here’s hoping that the summer months are kinder to Ghosts. In fact, you can count on more announcements, articles, etc. from GOBL in the coming days and […]
Day by day, song by song, we’re getting closer to revealing The Ghost’s #1 song of 2016. You should be following along diligently, but in case you’re not, The Ghost will be nice and do a full recap of songs #101-21. Ready? Here we go… John Earle Mainord, “The Dam Gon’ Break” Sarah Sellers, “Gone […]
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 […]

Still, it’s worth noting my favorite albums and EPs thus year. For a change, I’m allowing both Texas and “Sorta Texas” albums in the list. One thing […]
Two weeks ago, I published a Sunday Spotify Sixteen consisting of only Austin based acts. I also commented on the fact that I felt like Austin music had “outshined” local music thus far in 2016. The result? It was one of the least view and listened to playlists thus far. Well, this week I decided […]
I suppose I can no longer say it’s a Sunday Spotify Sixteen, being Monday and all. Still, I wanted to share the remainder of these playlists with you. I’ll admit, these playlists were ordered alphabetically by artist. Normally, The Ghost prefers to order the songs in such a way that there’s an ebb and flow […]
The Roomsounds, “Take it All Wrong” Now that Elm St. is on Spotify, I figured this would be a great song for kicking off the playlist. The intro to this song is killer, especially the strong drum beat provided by Dan Malone. Giant Kitty, “Borrow My Skirt” This weekend is the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, and […]
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 […]
