Polaris People For The Week Of July 6 « “ Shooting Guns vs. Leonard Cohen, Mark Davis Gardens, Slakadeliqs Enjoy Air Conditioning

We've added a new thing to the Polaris Universe called “Polaris Profiles.â€

Basically, Polaris Profiles are like Polaris Salons all hopped up on Mountain Dew. They're going to specifically apply to events we host that will feature an artist performance component on top of a Salon-like interview with a Polaris juror.

The first one we're doing is <a href = 'https://polarismusicprize.ca/article/430/introducing-polaris-profiles-featuring-kathryn-calder-on-july-16-2012-in-vancouver/'>happening</a> July 16 in Vancouver with <strong>Kathryn Calder</strong>. Which also happens to be one day before the big Polaris Music Prize Short List announcement in Toronto.

We have absolutely know idea who amongst this year's 40 <a href = ' https://polarismusicprize.ca/article/416/the-2012-polaris-music-prize-long-list-is-here/'>Long List</a> artists will move on, but in the same way a mom's supposed to love all her children equally, we'll be sad for those who don't move on.

Meanwhile, our favourite people, the Polaris People, continued to do interesting things this week. Here's what some of them were up to:

Les gens du Polaris durant la semaine du 29 juin – Lindi Ortega, Rich Aucoin, CBC endosse les jeux d'argent et plus encore

Nous sommes déjà à deux semaines du dévoilement de la courte liste du Prix de musique Polaris 2012. Le temps passe si vite!

Ça veut dire que les membres du <a href = 'https://polarismusicprize.ca/jury/'>jury</a> se dépêchent à écouter tous les albums qu'ils auraient dû déjà avoir écoutés avant la première ronde de vote.

Mais nous ne les réprimandons pas trop. Leurs efforts ont donné des résultats intéressants, comme les analyses que nous avons trouvées <a href = 'https://different-kitchen.com/ '>ici</a> et <a href = 'https://www.torontostandard.com/culture/postcards-from-the-polaris-prize-part-two'>ici.</a>

Pendant que tout ça se passait, nos personnes préférées, les gens du Polaris, continuaient à faire des choses fascinantes cette semaine.

Polaris People For The Week Of June 29 « “ Lindi Ortega Likes Bourbon, Rich Aucoin Debates Money, CBC Endorse Gambling

We’re now only two weeks away from the unveiling of the 2012 Polaris Music Prize Short List.

That means all our<a href = 'https://polarismusicprize.ca/jury/'> jurors</a> are deep in the middle of actually listening to all the albums they were supposed to have already listened to after the first round of voting.

We’re not sweating them, though. Their efforts are yielding some bonus results in the form of intense analysis like that found <a href = 'https://different-kitchen.com/ '>here</a> and <a href = 'https://www.torontostandard.com/culture/postcards-from-the-polaris-prize-part-two'>here</a>.

While all that’s going on our favourite people, the Polaris People, continued to do interesting things this week. Click through to find out what that was.
