Polaris Short List Announcement Today
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010The 2010 Polaris Music Prize short list of 10 albums is being announced today at 1:30 EST, live from Toronto’s Drake Hotel. You can listen live on CBC Radio 3 (Sirius 86) or follow live on Twitter @PolarisPrize. I had Shad, Greg MacPherson, Tegan & Sara, The Slew, and Hannah Georgas on my ballot, so let’s pull for them even though there’s really not a bad album in the bunch.

This Is Hip Hop (Pt. 2)
Friday, July 2nd, 2010Cheers to fellow Polaris juror Ben Kaplan and the National Post for putting this together. I love it, particularly D-Sisive’s verse. Love the insight on the Canadian hip hop scene from the guys that have been grinding it out for years.
