I just got the limited edition Murkadee EP “Pops Ghostly” that was released for Halloween. Every album is numbered, and I got number ONE! Thanks Murkadee! I’m honored. If there is anyone out there that hasn’t discovered this quirky pop band of wonder, then give them a listen.
Disclaimer: I am still wearing my Halloween costume in the photo.
