Journey Through the Past: A census of all the Neil Young cover compilations on Bandcamp
Is there anyone more influential on modern indie rock than Neil Young? Maybe there is, but it’s hard to argue he isn’t a central figure in shaping the current landscape. For one, there’s the way that plenty of modern alt-country/indie folk bands adhere to his style of veering between ragged-but-unhurried, noisy country rock and quiet,Continue reading “Journey Through the Past: A census of all the Neil Young cover compilations on Bandcamp”

New Playlist: April 2022
Welcome to the April 2022 edition of the Rosy Overdrive playlist, which presents to you more than two hours’ worth of good, mostly new (but with some exceptions) music. Glad you could make it! Joyride!, Golden Boots, MJ Lenderman, and Sadurn get multiple songs on the playlist this time around (Oceanator and Allison Crutchfield alsoContinue reading “New Playlist: April 2022”

There are fewer songs on this one, mostly because two of them push ten minutes, and the December/January playlists are always a little weird, but there’s no dip in qualityContinue reading “New Playlist: January 2022”
