Make Your Ears Happy – Jan and Feb 2019
Happy New Year! Like some critters, I’ve emerged from my winter hibernation. It looks like I left the oven on, so I’m dreading to see my hydro bill. What I also did was listen to a whack of music these...

Listen! The Black Keys – Turn Blue
Another listen of the upcoming album from The Black Keys is now here (like my pizza – 90 minutes after I ordered it). The track is a mellow rocker, with the Danger Mouse touch of added layers and sounds kicking...
Listen! The Black Keys – Fever
While I was busy nursing my hangover from Sunday night’s Prism Prize gala, the Black Keys decided to go out and drop their first new song in about 2.5 years on us. Still hungover 2 days later, I’m fighting the...

Listen! Broken Bells – Holding On For Life

Morning Music Notes – Return of PHM
Hopefully you’ve been able to manage the hours of free time that you suddenly had since PeteHatesMusic was down while we switched web hosts this weekend (and Monday). Things still aren’t 100% re-arranged, but it’s good enough for us to...
Watch! Portugal. The Man – Atomic Man
More stuff from the Danger Mouse-produced Portugal. The Man album. We have long believed in the theory that everything Danger Mouse touches turns to gold. The songs from the new Portugal. The Man album have yet to disprove this theory....
Watch! Portugal. The Man – Purple Yellow Red and Blue
More good stuff from the outfit known as Portugal. The Man. They wisely roped in super producer, Danger Mouse, realizing that 90% of what he touches turns to gold (see: Gorillaz, The Black Keys, Gnarls Barkley). Danger Mouse produces new...

Watch! Norah Jones – Miriam
Pretty much everything that Danger Mouse touches turns to gold – his work with Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, The Black Keys, and the Rome project were all excellent (and Broken Bells with James Mercer from the Shins was okay). He lends...
Weekend Music – RUCKUS!
Ladies and gentlemen – meet Moombah. The quick backstory: This is an entirely new (and entirely exciting) subgenre of dance music. Basically, a DJ in Washington DC (where a bunch of other zany subgenres of music originated) started slowing down...
