Make Your Ears Happy – Jan and Feb 2019

Watch! Foals – Give It All
Foals have been dropping great song after great song from recent release What Went Down. It is no surprise that the album is pretty good, then, with tracks like What Went Down, Mountain at My Gates, and A Knife in...
PeteHatesMusic End of Summer Indie Mix: Best of June through September
As you can tell by the crisp air and the fact that the Toronto Blue Jays have made the playoffs (wait, what?!) that fall is upon us. This means I have an excuse to make an end of summer playlist,...
Listen! Foals – A Knife In The Ocean

Listen! Foals – Mountain At My Gates
Those heavy hitters from Oxford are back. The band I speak of are Foals, and they return with a slight poppy sound in their new tune Mountain at My Gates. This track follows up recent release What Went Down. Mountain...

Watch! Foals – Late Night
There Will Be Blood should be the alternative name for the new video by Foals. The track is called Late Night, and is one weird, bloody, NSFW video. There’s sex, suicide, and a pregnancy, all of which aren’t incurred by...
Morning Music Notes – Awards Shows All Around
The Brit Awards Wrap Up My coverage and interest in the 2013 Brit Awards highly differed from 2012, when I lived 3 Tube stops away from the O2 Arena in London. Speaking of the Tube, Muse’s Matt Bellamy took the...
