Today, we’re closing out Rosy Overdrive’s 2024 editorial lists with my favorite reissues and compilations from this year. As this list encompasses a fairly wide range of releases, it is unranked, unlike my Top Albums and Top EPs lists. This isn’t the end of all year-end lists on the site, however: the results of theContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Favorite Reissues and Compilations of 2024”

New Playlist: February 2023
Welcome, all, to the February 2023 edition of the Rosy Overdrive monthly playlist.

Even by the standards of these typically-unwieldy monthly playlist posts, this one feels extra long-winded to me. I took a week off to enjoy life and whatnot, and I had allContinue reading “New Playlist: June 2021”

My 100 Favorite Albums from 2020 (Part 4 of 4)
Remember Part 1? Part 2? Part 3? Let’s go! Tobin Sprout – Empty Horses Release date: September 18th Record label: Fire Records Genre: Folk, alt-country Pull track: Every Sweet Soul Synopsis: Well, this is certainly a left turn from the former Guided by Voices contributor.
