New Playlist: February 2024

It is time to wrap up February, and the shortest month of the year ended up more than delivering the goods (read: good music) this time around.

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.

Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2022

Rosy Overdrive has long been vocal about its love of small, independent record labels. They’ve consistently been a key way to find good, varied, new-to-me music, and they remain a valuable, people-based resource for music discovery in an age where the “industry” is openly trying to steer us away from such things. I’ve been thinkingContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2022”
