No need to pinch yourself – you’re not dreaming – I actually posted two days in a row for the first time since before President Trump started destroying Planet Earth. This must mean one thing: I quit my job! there...
Pinch, punch, first of the month, no returns – (if you’re not English, you’ll think I’ve lost the plot). A new month brings a new playlist (and another month of bills). Let’s forget the depressing stuff and talk about the...
As I put away my rubber rain boots and pull out my summer dresses, I’m reminded that I am a man who doesn’t wear dresses, and that I should also probably make a new playlist. We see the return of...
Let us kick off your May Day celebrations with a short little playlist of revolution-themed music. Not really, but a few singers from big indie bands stepping out solo, dropping good new tracks, and that’s what May Day is all...
Because I listen to so much music (so many musics?), I don’t remember every single band I’ve posted. I try to follow them on Spotify or Soundcloud or Twitter to keep up with new tracks, especially if they’re smaller bands...
Although it’s Canadian Music Week, I can still find time to do some posts – that’s how much I hate love music. You get a mix of some brand new stuff, some kind of new stuff, and some new to...
I was on a roll of sorts, making a few posts a week. I had even started another killer playlist. Then the Leafs started playing well, and free time went into watching them. Then St. Patrick’s Day and it’s weekend...
We continue our recent trend of combining indie acts with new songs from music juggernauts. This 4 song playlist features brand new stuff from Alt-J, Coldplay’s continued return to form, and indie bands Glass Gang and HAERTS. Check out the...
Happy March, or as you might be forgiven for thinking by being outside in Toronto the past few weeks, Happy May. We have a boatload (well, a small paddleboat load) of new songs. We have stuff from far and wide,...
Happy Family Day aka Made Up holiday day, for those of you in Ontario. We celebrate with a short playlist. We have brand new Lana Del Rey. But perhaps more exciting is an excellent collaboration between 2 PeteHatesMusic favs –...
A new month, a new playlist from PHM. We have a mix of new stuff and old stuff, because you can never be too snobby to discover music from 2016. Check out tracks by Arcade Fire, The Record Company, Editors,...
Today could very well be the last show ever for Canadian music legends the Tragically Hip. There are more than enough think pieces out there, so I’ll spare you the 5 minutes. Instead, let’s focus on some of the unsung...
Good day citizens of the Internet. If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from me for awhile, I’ve been abducted by aliens in solitary confinement since May 8, listening to Radiohead’s new album, A Moon Shaped Pool, on loop. And...
After successfully overdosing on raw rabbit meat Easter eggs, we have still found time to post a playlist of some great, new tracks. Here are 5 tracks in the easy to digest playlist format (and 1 bonus track) for you...
Here’s a pile of (hopefully) interesting music for your weekend. Crank ’em up loud and enjoy. Mike Doughty – Light Will Keep Your Heart Beating in the Future… Mike Doughty was the frontman for the 2000’s-ey alternative band Soul Coughing....
