I was once again employed by the Polaris Music Prize this year leading up to and during 2015 Polaris Gala which was won by Buffy Sainte-Marie for her album Power In The Blood.
Buffy’s as deserving as anyone, but the real ace moments on the night were, for me, in order:
3. Host Fred Penner attempting a song medley highlighting all nine previous Polaris winners, including Tagaq and Godspeed You Black Emperor.
2. Alvvays performing a shimmering “Archie, Marry Me.”
1. Jennifer Castle’s epic rendition of “Sparta” backed by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
Read a recap of the evening here.

Should Breast Size Matter In MMA Weight Classes?
There are some profoundly humourless/satire detector disabled humans in the mixed martial arts world.
I mention this mostly to preface a story did for Fightland called “Should Breast Size Be Factored Into MMA Weightclasses?”
This topic is… ludicrous. But some people took it as serious business.
To read what all the fuss was about check out the full story.
