Polaris People For The Week Of March 30 – Radio Radio Songs, Mangan Breakouts, Arcade Fire Vids And More

Right about now just about everyone in the Canadian music universe is heading to Ottawa, Ontario to hang with our cousin, the <strong>Juno Awards</strong>. Polaris jurors will be all over the event, as will many, many artists who've been nominated for the Polaris Short and Long List over the years.

While folks have been making <a href = 'https://www.canada.com/entertainment/will+Juno+this+weekend+critics+place+their+bets/6374460/story.html'>establishing betting lines</a>, telling us <a href = 'https://www.toronto.com/article/719631–juno-awards-2012-what-to-expect-on-sunday'>what to expect</a>, and <a href = 'https://www.torontosun.com/2012/03/28/our-bold-juno-predictions'>making bold predictions about</a> who the winners will be, we're more concerned with how the Juno results will affect Polaris voting in a couple months. After all, if, as <a href = 'https://www.torontosun.com/2012/03/26/these-nominees-deserve-juno-win'>has been suggested</a>, the likes of Dan Mangan and Cuff the Duke, win Junos, who's to say the big P Prize won't be theirs either? We'll find out in September.

Shooting Star: Dustin Rabin

The Polaris team is lucky to work with a multitude of awesome folks within the music industry — one such talent is our Gala photographer, Dustin Rabin. We asked the busy lensman to tell us a bit about shooting the ceremony over the years, his many career milestones, and going behind the scenes with a certain Beatle.

We're deep in Canadian Music Week over here in Polarisland. That hasn't stopped some of our juror-type friends from thinking ahead, however.

Never one to shy from a good debate, CBC Music personality and frequent Polaris host <strong>Grant Lawrence</strong> has already started <a href = 'https://music.cbc.ca/#/Radio3/blogs/2012/3/Polaris-Music-Prize-2012-If-The-Ballots-Were-Submitted-Today'>soliciting jurors</a> in the lead-up to the June 14 Polaris Long List announcement.

If that article's any indication, there's going to be a lot more Dan Mangan and Rich Aucoin in future Polaris People columns.

But not this week.

No, we've got other artists to talk about. Namely Arcade Fire, Cadence Weapon, The Sadies and Tegan And Sara. Find out why by clicking through.

Photographe étoile: Dustin Rabin

Le Prix de musique Polaris est chanceux de travailler avec tout un tas de personnes exceptionnelles dans l'industrie de la musique – un de ces personnages talentueux est le photographe officiel de notre Gala, Dustin Rabin. Nous avons demandé à cet homme fort occupé de nous parlé un peu de son expérience entant que photographe du Prix de musique Polaris et de sa carrière.

Right. Just to reinforce the obvious, the three most important dates to remember in the Judeo-Christian calendar right now are June 14, July 17 and September 24 — the dates for the Polaris Music Prize Long and Short List announcements, and Polaris Gala, respectively.

Just think, we're only a few months away from adding some new names into that super-exclusive Skull And Bones-like secret society known as the Polaris People.

Some of those Polaris People were ruling the world in their own special way again this week. Like Kathleen Edwards, Tegan And Sara, Joel Plaskett, The Weeknd and Great Lake Swimmers. Click through to read about it.

Dans le but de renforcer ce qui est déjà assez évident, les trois dates les plus importantes du calendrier Judéo-chrétien sont maintenant le 14 juin, le 17 juillet et le 24 septembre – les dates des annonces de la longue liste et de la courte liste du Prix de musique Polaris et du gala du Polaris, respectivement.

Pensez-y bien, on est à quelques mois d'ajouter de nouveaux noms à la société super exclusive qu'est le Polaris.

Cette semaine, Kathleen Edwards, Tegan And Sara, Joel Plaskett, The Weeknd et Great Lake Swimmers font les manchettes.
