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.
