New Playlist: October 2023

Happy Halloween to all you ghouls, zombies, ghosts and whatnot. I’d say that this is a “spooky” edition of the monthly round-up or something, but really, this is just a normal one. It’s only scary if you’re afraid of good music. Or sentient mouths (we’ll get to that in a minute). Oh, and there isContinue reading “New Playlist: October 2023”

New Playlist: July 2023

Welcome to the July 2023 Rosy Overdrive playlist! There’s a ton of great music from this year in this one (I think that there’s only one song on here that didn’t originally come out in 2023, so you can’t accuse Rosy Overdrive of not being hip and current. Well, you can’t accuse RO of notContinue reading “New Playlist: July 2023”

New Playlist: July 2022

The Rosy Overdrive July 2022 playlist is here! A host of new music (but previously-touched on and thus far untouched on the blog), some selections from my 1980 exploration, and a couple random tunes, as always. Lee Bains III + The Glory Fires, Friendship, New You, Fox Japan, Gordon M. Phillips, and Perennial all haveContinue reading “New Playlist: July 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”

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”
