Come one, come all, to this: the final Pressing Concerns of 2022. Counting this post, I’ve written about 218 albums and EPs over the course of this year alone—and that’s not counting the many albums and EPs that weren’t formally reviewed but made appearances on the site’s respective year-end lists. I’m proud of that. ThisContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: Samuel S.C., Galore, Gloop, Hobby”

New Playlist: May 2022
Another monthly playlist is here! It’s a weird one! A lot of stuff from this year, of course, a few selections from 1980 (the year I’m currently digging into), and a good deal of miscellaneous songs! But they’re all good! The only band with multiple songs on the playlist this time around is this up-and-comingContinue reading “New Playlist: May 2022”
Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2021
2021 was a great EP year, by my estimation.

The Playlist Archives: November 2018 (Part 1 of 2)
One of the reasons I initially decided to put medium-effort into making this blog—other than gentle suggestions by acquaintances that this would be more productive than just talking their ears off whenever I had something to say—was to go through, share, and review all these old playlists I’ve been making the past half-decade. These playlistsContinue reading “The Playlist Archives: November 2018 (Part 1 of 2)”
