Recently several people have been asking me about music they heard while shopping at PinkGhost. Everyone working at PinkGhost has, at one time or another, been a 'DJ' of sorts and we all tend to like relatively obscure music. So I figured I'd be helpful to put something up here on the blog so customers can find out names and song titles of the artists that grace the PinkGhost in-store stereo.
To get things started, I have selected certain artists and tracks that are staff favorites and thus get played quite often in the store.
