I’m in between new music posts at the moment now, so I thought I’d use this downtiming to dip back into my playlist archive and talk about some music I otherwise wouldn’t get to today. This time, I’ve chosen one from roughly two years ago: March 2019. I even looked up some fun facts forContinue reading “The Playlist Archives: March 2019”

New Playlist: February 2021
I present to you: the third brand new monthly Rosy Overdrive playlist, and the site’s fourth playlist overall. 2021 is in full swing in terms of new music, which is where the majority of these songs come from. My foray into 1991 (which started last month) continues—it’s been on the backburner a bit, but aContinue reading “New Playlist: February 2021”

Be sure to check out previous editions of Pressing Concerns for more goodContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: Mister Goblin, Nightshift, Kittyhawk, The Hold Steady, Styrofoam Winos, Bailter Space”

Pressing Concerns: Editrix, Yasmin Williams, Captain Frederickson, Hello Whirled
We’ve broached February, and I am once again here to tell you about the good music from the recent past, present, and future. The third installment of Pressing Concerns is a little smaller than the first two, but let’s just say we’re dealing with a “quality over quantity” scenario (which is somewhat amusing considering theContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: Editrix, Yasmin Williams, Captain Frederickson, Hello Whirled”
New Playlist: January 2021
Good morning/afternoon, readers. I am back with again with my monthly exorcism of all the music I absorbed over the past 31 days. January was very much a month of transition—with regards to what music I was listening to, I mean. In terms of new releases, you’ll find some 2020 stragglers as well as brandContinue reading “New Playlist: January 2021”

Pressing Concerns: Cheekface, Fuvk, Camp Trash, Cicala, Squitch, Matthew Sweet
It’s January again, which doesn’t actually mean anything in and of itself, but it does coincide with this post about some albums I’ve liked from the baby new year. I hadn’t really planned on giving much attention to this year’s new albums until February at earliest, but here I am barely halfway through the firstContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: Cheekface, Fuvk, Camp Trash, Cicala, Squitch, Matthew Sweet”
New Playlist: December 2020
It’s time to wrap up 2020, and I can think of no (literally not a single) better way to do so than to share the music I enjoyed in its final month. I spent this past December catching up on releases from earlier this year that I’d missed the first time around, listening to aContinue reading “New Playlist: December 2020”
