Sophomore Jinx with Ghost:Hello

It seems only yesterday that Ghost:Hello dropped their first vinyl LP. Did you check it out? You should have if you have not.

In the meantime, their friends, Night Goat are getting together with them to release a new Split!

You can get all on top of that stuff HERE.

1. There is nothing more awkward than sophomore year of high school. Tell me about your circle of friends.

 Sophomore year, 2001, whew,  We were a super cliche group of misfits, really. 

All of us were discovering our own music to listen it and we’re mostly opposed what each other found, file sharing was huge, Napster, audio galaxy satellite, imesh.. 

Hot Topic was a thing, so we all had ridiculously huge pants & Slayer shirts.  

Honestly, You can probably see a variation of us in any movie that takes place in a school in the early 2000’s. 

Fresh Fries with Patrick de La Grange of Ghost:Hello

Recently it's been asked of me that I slow down on my consumption of the fast foods. I'm going to decide that's based on the 19 lbs I've added to my already ample frame rather than the fact that I'm wasting money hand over fist.

So, I'm really enjoying living vicariously through the folks who've decided I'm worthwhile enough to the their thoughts and feelings on the lovely poison.

Today's guest is the new drummer for Ghost:Hello.

Well...

What does he eat god damn it!

1. Let's not pretend. Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint? 

My favorite would have to be Five Guys. If you haven’t had their Cajun fries and their bacon double cheeseburger we can’t be friends. 

1UP with Ghost:Hello

Lately, my Gamecube has been getting quite a workout. My daughter and I have been playing my Japanese Edition of Phantasy Star Online: Episode I & II Plus...but in English Mode...

When you're playing games, it's only natural to want to talk about them. 

Today we check back in with Ghost:Hello.

Did you get their VINYL record yet?

Glacially Musical: My first system was a pong clone, the yellow and black Odessey 300. What was your first Console? 

The very first Game system we had was a full sized Galaxia Arcade game. 

My dad got it from the bar down the road I believe. We would open up the lock box and flick the trigger where the coins fell to give ourselves unlimited credits and we’d stand in the dining room chair and play all day.

Vinyl Review: "The Color of Sound In Space" by Ghost:Hello

t

The Sound of Color In Space

Years ago, I had a job interview where they didn't really believe I could speak Spanish. That's happened twice actually.

Because there are times when I get rusty. But when I'm back in it, it comes back straightaway.

So, my interviewers thought I wasn't what I portrayed myself to be.

What do you do when you have something along those lines?

Enter Ghost:Hello.

They self-describe as a Stoner Rock trio from Ohio. If I lived in Ohio, I'd probably drink more and be in a stoner band too.

It's too flat there.

So, consider...what does Stoner Rock mean to you? For me, it's a band that's somewhat dirty. It's a sound that harkens back to a time when all the rock bands were full on stoners.

Classic Spins with Ghost:Hello

Normally, I wouldn't do this, but I think the press release bio sums up Ghost:Hello better than I ever could:

Ghost:Hello is a synth-loving stoner rock family affair from northeast Ohio.  Made up of a husband/wife duo and their cousin, the band members have been playing for decades.  

With extensive individual histories touring around the US and in Europe in other DIY groups, this project just feels like a natural continuation.  

Together as a family and as musicians, Ghost:Hello is now ready to take the rock n roll world by the horns.

Well, there you have it. In the mean time, they've got a record hitting the shelves this September.

You can preorder The Sound of Color in Space on their BANDCAMP page. In the meantime though, let's find out what kinds of albums they dig, mmkay?
