New Playlist: January 2024

Hello, and welcome to the first 2024-based edition of Rosy Overdrive’s monthly playlist and round-up!

Pressing Concerns: Pile, Fire Man, Kingbird, Yungatita

Welcome to the first Pressing Concerns of 2024! This is not the first blog post of the new year (the December 2023 playlist/round-up went up on Tuesday), but it’s the first one to (primarily) focus on music from the new year.

I have twoContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: BRNDA, Canandaigua, Pile, Chet Wasted”

New Playlist: December 2020

It’s time to wrap up 2020, and I can think of no (literally not a single) better way to do so than to share the music I enjoyed in its final month. I spent this past December catching up on releases from earlier this year that I’d missed the first time around, listening to aContinue reading “New Playlist: December 2020”
