You may have noticed that we slyly changed our Weekend Catch Up segment to Weekday Catch Up for today. That’s because I’m trying to clear out my bookmarks before regular posting resumes on January 6. As such, you’re going to...
It’s almost 2014, which means the Mayans were wrong! Oh wait, I guess we’ve known that for a year. Well, in anticipation of whatever apocalypse awaits us, I figured I should furiously clear out my musical bookmarks of songs that...
Ever since we posted about London Grammar in 2012, they have continued to grow in stature. After a successful release with If You Wait, and several good videos, the band have done what every good band should do – cover...
They’re baaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Jack White, and of course Alison Mosshart of the Kills, Queens of the Stone Age’s Dean Fertita and the Raconteurs’ Jack Lawrence are the Dead Weather, and they have a brand spanking new track. It’s called Open Up...
Jim James has a unique quality about his voice that makes his band, My Morning Jacket, appeal to so many people. It’s this uniqueness to his voice that makes this Bob Marley cover something a little more than your average...
The Darcys have been everywhere in 2013. Besides playing schools across Ontario (including the former high school of Rich and I), the band have dropped excellent song after song, including a video for Muzzle Blast, and tracks The River and...
We have a slightly quirky, synthpop track for you. It’s a bit of a slower, darker tune, with twangy and echoey effects popping up throughout. Despite my terrible lead in, the track is a good one, and is called Years...
Apparently if you’re extremely hungover and do zero blog posts on a Friday after a company party, things still happen in the music world. One such example of things I missed while I was knocking back Advils and sucking on...
We have a nice little track for you from an English duo called Fé. I thought a one syllable word would be right up my alley, but I have no idea how to pronounce their band name. My shortcomings aside,...
As you’ll see during next week’s Songs of 2013 list, Caveman’s In the City is one of my favourite tracks of the year. I also love that new Rebecca Black song, so don’t put too much stock in my opinion...
One of the better emails we’ve been sent of late is from talented piano player and singer STACEY. It was a good email because it contained not only the stunning song Worst Part, but NO VIRUSES also a private download...
One song that I have been listening to a LOT since I was first sent it (and posted it) is Worst Part by STACEY. It’s a stunning and sparse piano ballad, which shows beauty in its restraint (unlike me at...
After teasing us with cute pictures of kittens on Twitter (which I not so secretly really liked), Metric have a brand new video for their song Lost Kitten. The video was directed by Sammy Rawal and was shot in Mexico...
Scottish post-runk act Mogwai are swinging by Toronto next May 13. A little closer than that is their new album Rave Tapes, out Jan 20/21. Still can’t wait that long? How about a video for the track The Lord is...
We continue to clear out our long list of musical bookmarks here at PeteHatesMusic. This weekend, we present you with Mona & Maria on our Weekend Catch Up segment. Mona Andersen and Maria Knudsen are the duo known as Mona...
