Polaris Music Prize 2013 Long List

The latest edition of my Polaris People column is online over at the Polaris Music Prize website.

Because the 2013 Short List is being announced on July 16 I used this week’s write-up as one last opportunity to highlight some fact or quirk about all of the albums on the 2013 Polaris Long List.

The latest edition of my Polaris People column is online over at the Polaris Music Prize website.

This week Polaris announced the 40 albums that made the 2013 Long List. It’s kinda a big deal, so this week’s Polaris People column was dedicated to reaction to that list.

To read the column, and find out what people like A Tribe Called Red, Rhye, Anciients and Jim Guthrie had to say, go here.

Polaris People For The Week Of July 13 – Last Look At The 2012 Long List

Polaris Music Prize

The 2012 Polaris Music Prize Short List will be announced on Tuesday, July 17.

That means this is the last week we have 40 albums — the Long List — still in contention for the big prize before it gets lopped down to 10 records.

With that in mind, this week’s Polaris People focused on dredging up some random factoid or other about each of the Long List albums.

In it the Slakadeliqs find air conditioners, Shooting Guns want to take on Leonard Cohen, and Mark Davis does some gardening.

To read about it, go here.
