We’re still only a week out from the music world-shattering publication of Rosy Overdrive’s Top 100 Albums of 2023, but now it is time to take a look at a shorter but still very substantial list/release format. 2023 was another great year for EPs, and I’ve done my hardest to narrow my favorites down toContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2023”

New Playlist: October 2023

Happy Halloween to all you ghouls, zombies, ghosts and whatnot. I’d say that this is a “spooky” edition of the monthly round-up or something, but really, this is just a normal one. It’s only scary if you’re afraid of good music. Or sentient mouths (we’ll get to that in a minute). Oh, and there isContinue reading “New Playlist: October 2023”

New Playlist: July 2022

The Rosy Overdrive July 2022 playlist is here! A host of new music (but previously-touched on and thus far untouched on the blog), some selections from my 1980 exploration, and a couple random tunes, as always.

New Playlist: April 2021

At long last, the Rosy Overdrive “songs I enjoyed listening to in April 2021, not necessarily released in April 2021 but obviously there’s a lot of overlap” overview has gone live. Featuring: plenty of songs from albums/EPs that I’ve already written about on this blog, new music from upcoming releases I hope to cover furtherContinue reading “New Playlist: April 2021”

Congrats on randomly stumbling onto this list. All of these albums are worth a listen, but I’ve done you the courtesy of giving you a CliffsNotes version of all of them if you wanna be choosey. I will also note that I got a little better at doing this as I made it further along,Continue reading “My 100 Favorite Albums from 2020 (Part 1 of 4)”
