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”
New Playlist: January 2022
Rosy Overdrive’s January overview is going up a week into February, but that’s pretty par for the course, and one can’t rush perfection. Or playlists. 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”
Pressing Concerns: Russel the Leaf, Clear Capsule, Shoun Shoun, The Royal Arctic Institute
Third Pressing Concerns of 2022! This time around, it features new albums from Russel the Leaf and Shoun Shoun, and new EPs from Clear Capsule and The Royal Arctic Institute. Half of these bands released something in 2021 that appeared in Pressing Concerns as well. Half of them didn’t. All four are good, though. I’mContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: Russel the Leaf, Clear Capsule, Shoun Shoun, The Royal Arctic Institute”

New Playlist: March 2021
We’re back with two hours of nonstop hit singles that I enjoyed listening to over the last month. Most of these songs were either originally released or reissued this year, but there’s a bit of older music hidden down in there as well. For songs pulled from albums I’ve already written about, I’ve linked thoseContinue reading “New Playlist: March 2021”
