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?
