(1/10) > >>

Scarychips:
So, Polaris Music Prize is on again. For those who do not know what is this, it's a Canadian music prize given to any Canadian artist who's put out an album between June 1st 2009 and May 31th 2010. It is "solely" based on artistic merit and not sales, genres or whatever.  Past winners include Final Fantasy's He Poos Clouds in 2006 (<3), Patrick Watson's Closer to Paradise in 2007, Caribou's Andorra in 2008. Last year's winners were Fucked Up with The Chemistry of Common Life.
The titles that are in bold are part of the shortlist.

-Apollo Ghosts - Mount Benson

StaedlerMars:
that's a good list.

KvP:
Stars barely missed it, so it's going to go to the next whitest band on the list. Here's the shortlist:

BSS
Jason Collett (will be eliminated)
Crystal Castles (an ironic choice given their unapologetic and blatant ripoffin')
The New Pornographers
Owen Pallett
Tegan and Sara

I predict the final winner will be Owen Pallett, though they might shy away from giving him a twofer.

Johnny C:
booooooooooring

These are the only ones I've listened to.  Of those, I would like Holy Fuck to win.  The one I believe has the best shot is probably Brasstronaut.  Seeing as I'm not Canuckian and don't really have much of a say in this anyway, I am probably way off.
