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 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.
