Plenty of good choicesContinue reading “New Playlist: October 2024”
Pressing Concerns: St. Lenox, ‘Ten Modern American Work Songs’
Release date: October 25thRecord label: Anyway/Don GiovanniGenre: Indie pop, singer-songwriter, synthpopFormats: Vinyl, digital I believe that Andrew Choi’s previous album as St. Lenox, 2021’s Ten Songs of Worship and Praise for Our Tumultuous Times, still holds the record for “most words I’ve written about a single album for this blog” to this day. St. Lenox’sContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: St. Lenox, ‘Ten Modern American Work Songs’”

New Playlist: June 2021
The Rosy Overdrive Monthly Revue is back, with a (somewhat belated) rundown of songs old and (mostly) new that I thoroughly enjoyed in June! Even by the standards of these typically-unwieldy monthly playlist posts, this one feels extra long-winded to me. I took a week off to enjoy life and whatnot, and I had allContinue reading “New Playlist: June 2021”

Well: the year is nearly halfway over, so I shall now commemorate it by sharing my forty favorite records from it thus far with you, the Rosy Overdrive reader.

New Playlist: May 2021
Another month in the books, another round-up of the best songs I heard over its contents. Mostly containing songs from the last couple of months, but there are a few older selections whose identities you’ll have to continue reading to find out. Rosali and The Bevis Frond are the only ones to land multiple songsContinue reading “New Playlist: May 2021”
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”
The Playlist Archives: November 2018 (Part 1 of 2)
One of the reasons I initially decided to put medium-effort into making this blog—other than gentle suggestions by acquaintances that this would be more productive than just talking their ears off whenever I had something to say—was to go through, share, and review all these old playlists I’ve been making the past half-decade. These playlistsContinue reading “The Playlist Archives: November 2018 (Part 1 of 2)”
