In this edition we celebrate The Besnard Lakes putting out new music, contemplate a royally-endorsed Joel Plaskett and support one of John K. Samson‘s initiatives.

P.S. for bonus Polaris content, check out the story I did last week which compiled the Top Ten album lists of 35 separate Polaris jurors. It’s pretty good insight into their minds.

Polaris People For The Week Of December 21 (Weeknd! Grimes! Kathleen Edwards!)

Grimes

Grimes

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

In this edition we check out some of the 2012 Best Song lists from various publications, learn about Grimes and bingo, worry about Weeknd‘s smolder problem, and behold Japandroids continuing world dominance.

Additionally, I also recently created the first official Polaris Music Prize gift guide, which predominantly features books written by members of the Polaris jury. I know many of these authors personally and have read many of the books they’ve written and give all of these people gold star thumbs up recommendations. And besides, if people don’t support these folks what hope is there for the rest of us?

Polaris People For The Week Of November 30 (Grimes! Dears! Shad!)

Shad

Shad

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

Grimes recently told the world she really loves Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I bring this up mostly because the only other person who I know loves Cinnamon Toast Crunch with heartfelt passion is my brother. And he’s basically an aspiring Tommy Chong. So, using transitive properties, well…. heh-heh, munchies, maaaaaaaaan.

P.S. Shad and The Dears got mentioned this week, too.
