Neil Young & Crazy Horse are touring again later this year. Great news, though the fact I probably won’t get to catch a date is quite the opposite.

Anyhow, I just delivered my ballot for the Polaris Prize long list. For those unfamiliar with the process, I, along with 200-some other jurors submit our 5 favourite Canadian (if you wanna know what qualifies, visit www.polarismusicprize.ca) albums of the year in descending order. Each “place” from 1-5 is assigned a point value and the 40 albums with the highest point total make the long list.

From that list of 40, we again include our 5 picks, and that whittles it down to the 10-title short list.

Would love to get your picks or your thoughts on mine…

1. Fucked Up – David Comes To Life

2. Boxer The Horse – French Residency

3. The Weeknd – Thursday

4. Coeur de Pirate – Blonde

5. Rich Aucoin – We’re All Dying To Live
