How about that Coachella lineup<\/a>? I think they missed a band. Maybe two. Like the Scorpions or something. But that’s it. Everyone<\/em> else is playing.<\/p>\n

It’s unlikely this Polaris rep will be attending. We’ve already got tickets for Couchella. It’s being headlined this year by Netflix and a Grand Theft Auto IV marathon jam session. Rumour has it the cat might make a special appearance, but she’s Courtney Love-level temperamental. <\/p>\n

Some of our favourite people, the Polaris People, will be at Coachella (sadly they’re all backing out of Couchella). Let’s see what some of them were up to this week:<\/p>\n

It’s been a long time since first-year Short Listers The Deadly Snakes<\/strong> have been mentioned in around here, what with them having already been broken up before they were nominated in 2006. But that’s all changed because there’s a book about them called The Deadly Snakes: Real Rock and Roll Tonight <\/em>and it’s excerpted in The Walrus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former champs Arcade Fire<\/strong> are selling the church\/studio they recorded The Suburbs<\/em> in. On the upside, the building clearly has magic in it. On the down side, it doesn’t so much have a working roof<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Arcade Fire associate news, 2011 Short Lister Colin Stetson<\/strong> has achieved one degree of separation from another Polarite (should I try to make that a thing?), Kathleen Edwards, thanks to his enlisting<\/a> of her special friend Justin Vernon from Bon Iver to help on his forthcoming album.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Kathleen Edwards<\/strong>, the two-time Short Lister has achieved an honour that perhaps eclipses any acclaim she’s received for her association with Polaris â\u20ac\u201d she’s been featured<\/a> on the Daily Roxette, your home for all breaking Roxette related news.<\/p>\n

Radio Radio<\/strong>, the linguistic gymnasts who made the Short List in 2010, have a new video clip<\/a> for \u00ab\u00a0Comment ca va.\u00a0\u00bb It breaks brave new ground in the world of breast-feeding-positive booty rap cinema.<\/p>\n

Question: If Grimes<\/strong> and Solange appear in the same place at the same time<\/a> isn’t there a risk the internet will break?<\/p>\n

So, Broken Social Scene<\/strong> is teaming up with House Of Anansi to solicit original short stories<\/a> in some way or another inspired by You Forgot It In People<\/em>. We don’t really want to undermine this venture because we like everyone involved, but please, please, PLEASE… if you are<\/em> a writer, and you are<\/em> consider submitting something, do try to make it BSS\/One Direction crossover erotic fan fiction<\/a>.
\n
\nJulie Doiron<\/strong> made the Short List in 2007. That’s exactly 10 years after the creation of one of her favourite albums of all-time â\u20ac\u201d Bjork’s Homogenic<\/em>. She also likes Pavement’s Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain<\/em> and a couple others we won’t tell you about so that you’ll be curious enough to click through<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The lesson here: If a pack of unruly teenagers challenge you to meet Drake<\/strong>, he will magically appear â\u20ac\u201d like a unicorn<\/a> â\u20ac\u201d and win the day for you.<\/p>\n

Finally, we here in Polarisland don’t live in a bubble, we know there are other awards out there, we just happen to only officially care about full-length Canadian albums. So here’s a \u00ab\u00a0Hello\u00a0\u00bb to the folks at the new Prism Prize<\/a>, dedicated to determining the best Canadian music video of the year, and to the INDIES<\/a>, saluting Canadian independent music â\u20ac\u201d they just announced their 2013 nominees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
