Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic You can’t have a Top Songs of 2018 list without a Top Albums of 2018 list, right? I copied that opening sentence from last year, so I’ll assume it turned out to be true. I’ve written a few...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic “New Year’s Resolution for 2018: Blog at least twice a month”. Mission unaccomplished! I started off well, and listened to a lot of music (60000+ minutes according to Spotify), but this didn’t translate to playlists that I published....
Happy New Year dudes and dudettes. We’re going to try something different this year: keep our New Year’s Resolutions Post a playlist for the 1st and 2nd half of each month. We’ll also have one master playlist in Spotify that...

Florence Welch from Florence + the Machine walks into a South London bar. No jokes ensue, but she does join the band Sourberry as they’re warming up, and does a random cover of Daft Punk’s Get Lucky. We’ll blame the...
Festival 1 on the docket for PeteHatesMusic.com this summer is Ottawa’s RBC Bluesfest. Hardly a festival for just blues, the strength of this festival is the wide array of different acts music nerds like us get to experience. Check back...
It’s hockey playoff time in Toronto, but I managed to put aside my excitement to draw up a list of great tracks from April for you to hear. FEMME’s track is the perfect sunny weather track, so I would thow...
MGMT released the uber-popular debut album Oracular Spectacular and followed that up with the critically panned but actually rather excellent sophomore album, Congratulations. Congratulations was a bit more “out there”, and might not have had those choruses you can blare...
Two pieces of new album news from two duos. Favourites at PHM, psychedelic and all around wacky music makers MGMT, are preparing their third album for release this June. It will be self-titled, which is disappointing given the ability for...
You would think that Fleetwood Mac were important to music or something, given the music stars that turned out to cover songs of theirs. You’ve already hear a bunch of the songs that we’ve slowly posted over the past few...
I don’t usually like posting random live videos with poor video quality, but no one reads this blog, and it’s a holiday in Canada, so you shouldn’t be reading this blog anyway. Osheaga took place in Montreal this weekend, and...
