We’re getting soooo close. The Gala’s like two weeks away. We already told you about our warm-up Polaris Salons and the Polaris Peep Show, and now we’ve announced the Grand Jury and performer list for the Gala. Oh, and if you want to tweet Drake (@Drake) and politely suggest that it’d be totally awesome if […]

Oh, et si vous voulez tweeter Drake (@Drake) pour lui demander poliment […]

Our Polaris Gala Salon tour got announced this week. Did you see it? Basically, if you live in Edmonton, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Toronto or Montreal, this is your free pass to a) listen to music critics argue about who’s going to win the 2012 Polaris Music Prize, and b) Participate in the argument. That’s right. If […]
Notre tournée du Salon du gala Polaris a été <a href = 'https://polarismusicprize.ca/article/475/polaris-gala-salon-tour-edmonton-ottawa-saskatoon-toronto-montreal-new-york/'> announcée</a> cette semaine. Étiez-vous au courant?
Essentiellement, si vous habitez à Edmonton, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Toronto ou Montréal, ce sera votre chance a) d'écouter des journalistes s'obstiner au sujet de l'artiste qui gagnera le Prix de musique Polaris 2012 et b) de participer à la discussion.
Et oui! Si vous venez faire un tour à l'un de ces événements et vous n'êtes pas un psychopathe, vous aurez probablement l'opportunité de participer à la conversation. Si vous le voulez, bien sûr.
De qui parlerons-nous à tous ces Salons? De nos gens préférés, évidemment, c'est-à -dire les gens du Polaris.
Regardons ce que quelques-uns d'entre eux ont fait cette semaine.
We're less than a month away from the Polaris Gala and <a href = 'https://polarismusicprize.ca/article/453/polaris-music-prize-peep-show-details-announced-proceeds-to-benefit-musicounts/'>Polaris Peep Show</a> happening on Sept. 24. That means it's time to step up the arguing.
Over the next few weeks we'll be hosting our patented Polaris Salons with the help of our good friends <a href = 'https://www.rdio.com/'>Rdio</a> in six separate cities — Saskatoon, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and if we can sneak across the border successfully, New York City.
Just like a bat signal flashed from the top of a Gotham skyscraper, these Salons are a call to arms for deep music nerds everywhere. Officially, there'll be panels made up of Polaris jurors from each city discussing who they think will win the 2012 Polaris Music Prize, but less officially, it's also a chance for any enthused members of the public to also come down and get involved in the debate. And potentially win prizes for doing so.
Nous sommes rendus à moins d'un mois du gala Polaris et du <a href = 'https://polarismusicprize.ca/article/453/polaris-music-prize-peep-show-details-announced-proceeds-to-benefit-musicounts/'>Peep Show du Polaris</a> qui auront lieu le 24 septembre. Ça veut dire qu'il est temps d'intensifier les petites disputes.
Au cours des prochaines semaines, nous animerons nos chers Salons Polaris avec l'aide de nos bons amis <a href = 'https://www.rdio.com/'>Rdio</a> dans six villes différentes: Saskatoon, Edmonton, Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa et, si nous réussissons à traverser la frontière, New York City.
Not to play Captain Countdown too much, but we're now officially one month away from the Polaris Gala — and by extension, one month from figuring out who the winner of the 2012 Polaris Music Prize will be.
In the next few weeks business is really going to pick up around here. This week we <a href = 'https://polarismusicprize.ca/article/458/the-rdio-2012-polaris-record-club-is-here/'>kicked off</a> the Polaris Record Club listening sessions sponsored by Rdio, which we'll keep blasting out over the next four weeks, just like little musical Polaris presents.
Also, we've already announced our special <a href = 'https://polarismusicprize.ca/article/453/polaris-music-prize-peep-show-details-announced-proceeds-to-benefit-musicounts/'>Polaris Peep Show</a> party happening at the Drake Hotel, with its magic dangle of a chance to win yourself a trip to the Gala.
If that's not all, next week we're going to unveil a complete list of all the ways you can potentially get yourself into the Polaris Gala on Sept. 24. Think of it as a cheatsheet for getting into one of the most exclusive music parties in the country.
Still, all this stuff is secondary to the reason why we do this whole thing to begin with — the Polaris People.
