Moog Guitar: the next great thing?

The Moog guitar will be unveiled today, and we here at the indie ghetto want your opinions. Is this the next great instrument? Will this guitar revolutionize music like the moog synthesizer? Or is this just the next big hype machine from the music industry? Please comment below.

No Show Tomorrow

Please note that there will be no radio show this week. I currently find myself at a stock trading seminar in Houston, TX, where they dance just as good as they walk.

Hey gang,
Be sure to tune into today's radio show. I'll be welcoming Josh & Tom from Parachute Musical into the Ghetto for some Q&A and all-around slumming on the stoop. We'll be previewing tracks from their forthcoming album, Everything is Working Out Fine in Some Town. We'll also be giving away free passes to their big album release show next Thursday, June 16th at Mercy Lounge with Heypenny & Modern Skirts.

So go on ahead and tune in, fools. Catch it this afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00 - 91 on the 1 in radioland or at wrvu.org in your cubicle at your crap day job.
