Grimes’ boots
The latest edition of my Polaris People column is online over at the Polaris Music Prize website.
Because I went on vacation last week I broke from the traditional Polaris People format and instead found 10 Great Gifs involving past Polaris nominees. Grimes‘ boots are in there, so is Damian Abraham from Fucked Up flopping around as well as Feist shooting fireworks.

Lindi Ortega
The latest edition of my Polaris People column is online over at the Polaris Music Prize website.
For this one we did a little bit of radical narrowing, deciding to only look into the comings and goings of some of the 30 artists who made the 2012 Polaris Long List, but not the subsequent Short List. It turns out that country croonin’ gal Lindi Ortega wants to start creeping on the Stompin Tom demo, Ariane Moffatt finally made her return to Toronto and Coeur de Pirate has made a romantic new video.

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?
