After a long, dry May, June is proving to be a more fruitful month for The Ghost. Not only have I been posting playlists and planning Acoustiganzas, but last Wednesday was my first show on Deep Ellum Radio in more than a minute. Fortunately, many local bands have continued to send their mp3’s to ghost@deepellumradio.com […]
The Ghost may not have said much in the past month, but that does not mean that there have been no new developments in GOBL land. In fact, I have a long overdue show announcement. I will be returning to Opening Bell Coffee on Saturday, June 22nd for another edition of Acoustiganza. There’s even a […]
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 […]
For a week or so, Festify was all the rage on social media. It was an app that created fictitious festival lineups based on one’s Spotify listening habits. One could create a lineup based on the most listened to artists over the course of a month, six months, or one’s entire time on Spotify. The […]
I had some ideas of what to cook up for today’s Monday Mixteen, but I just couldn’t figure out the right musical ingredients for the playlist. On top of that, The Ghost just didn’t feel like serving up the dish of a carefully curated themed playlist. So I did what people do when they’re lazy […]
This coming Saturday evening has plenty of shows worth seeing. The Bralettes and Acid Carousel will perform at The Foundry. Crooked Bones is headlining a cool show at Division Brewing that also features Posival. If you’re looking to hang in Deep Ellum, you can catch Maya Piata at Harlowe, or head over to Adair’s to […]
Today’s edition of Video Wednesday is as easy as ABC. You don’t believe The Ghost? Follow along, and you’ll see. We start with A, which stands for Acid Carousel. The band just released a brand new single, “Eyes Glow”, as well as an accompanying video. The main character in the video is a nosy neighbor, […]
Most of my Monday Mixteen playlists have some sort of theme. The sixteen tracks selected have a loose musical connection to them. All of the songs are within what I would refer to as “rootsy” music. What exactly does that mean? To me, it means anywhere along the musical spectrum that contains Americana, country, blues, […]
Not gonna lie, The Ghost is still a little tired from hosting the Deep Ellum Radio Artists’ Court Stage yesterday. That’s okay though, because I had a BLAST! Thanks to all the fabulous artists that played: Jana Pochop, David Joshua, Peyton Stilling, Bryce Bangs, Maya Piata, Chris Welch & The Cicada Killers, Droo’s Peace Crush, […]
You may be aware that this weekend is the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, and that Deep Ellum Radio has its own Artist’s Court Stage this year. You might have even heard that The Ghost is curating his own day’s worth of music on said stage. So yes, this is gonna be a good year for […]
