The Racket
Jan 12, 2023 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Nighttime Rock
With johnny ghost
Do you claim to be born in the wrong generation? Do you think your favorite subgenre of rock is dead? Do you complain they just don't make music like they used to?
This is the Racket and I'm Johnny Ghost here to prove you wrong with a weekly selection of surf, garage, blues, rockabilly, Americana, and otherwise good old fashioned rock 'n' roll in modern times, with dedicated throwbacks to the 20th century every 10th episode. New songs for old souls, old songs for the new age, and all the proof you need that the kids still rock like they used to, every Thursday evening 6-7 on HD2; be there or be square.
Songs From the Tar Pits
My first proper set of 2023 (excluding last week's 2022 recap) starts season 3 off with an experiment: a dive into the post punk/alt rock phase I was abruptly catapulted into over winter break.
