Have you been checking out our regular Polaris Picks?<\/p>\n

That’s where our jurors throw down and declare for albums they think deserve to win the 2013 Polaris Music Prize. Hollerado<\/a>, Suuns<\/a> and Daniel Romano<\/a> have all been championed in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

There’s a group of people who’ve already proven their worth in Polarisland â\u20ac\u201d the past Short- and Long-List nominees who we like to call our Polaris People. <\/p>\n

Here’s what some of them were up to recently:<\/p>\n

Past Polaris champ Caribou<\/strong> will be reissuing<\/a> his first three albums â\u20ac\u201d 2001’s Start Breaking My Heart<\/em> and 2003’s Up In Flames<\/em> under the moniker Manitoba, while 2005’s The Milk Of Human Kindness<\/em> â\u20ac\u201d on vinyl. Those first two records were originally recorded under the moniker \u00ab\u00a0Manitoba\u00a0\u00bb until Handsome Dick Manitoba lawyered up and made Dan Snaith change the project’s name to Caribou.<\/p>\n

Speaking of former champs, here’s a little Feist<\/strong>-does-Leonard Cohen<\/strong>. May your attempts to purchase this song in a fair and legal manner be fruitful.<\/p>\n
