Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2022

You’re probably still making your way through Rosy Overdrive’s to Top 100 Albums of 2022, I know–but there were plenty of good EPs to come out this year, as well! Just like last year, I’ve put together a shorter but still substantial list of my twenty-five favorites for you all to check out. The EPContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2022”

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

Maybe it’s because the pandemic made EPs more practical vis-à-vis full-lengths to release than normal, maybe because I’m more in touch with smaller (and thus more likely to release EPs) bands than normal this year, but I liked a lot of EPs this year. I choseContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2021”

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”

My 100 Favorite Albums from 2020 (Part 1 of 4)

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)”
