How about those Juno Awards last week in Regina (the city that rhymes with angina)? <\/p>\n

If it felt like there was a wee bit more synergy between them and us than in the past it would probably be because bona fide Polaris People like Leonard Cohen<\/strong>, The Weeknd<\/strong>, Metric<\/strong>, Grimes<\/strong>, Drake<\/strong>, Rose Cousins<\/strong>, Elliott Brood<\/strong> and Louis-Jean Cormier (Karkwa<\/strong>) all went home with trophies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But our favourite folks did more than just win awards this week. Let’s check in to find out what the Polaris People were up to:<\/p>\n

Two-time Short Listers Broken Social Scene<\/strong> continue to be the busiest band that technically doesn’t exist. Brendan Canning recently interviewed <\/a>Shuggie Otis for the National Post and a number of band members and associates contributed to an in-depth history<\/a> of the Arts & Crafts label in fashion mag, Flare. Speaking of Arts & Crafts and fashion, for $75 you can get yourself a t-shirt designed by BSS, Dan Mangan<\/strong>, Feist<\/strong> or Timber Timbre<\/strong> at The Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have you read Grimes<\/strong>‘ Jerry Maguire blog post <\/a>yet? If you haven’t, you should. Claire, you can rest assured we’ll never refer to you in terms like \u00ab\u00a0cute\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0waif.\u00a0\u00bb That’s because we’ve got an endless store of sci fi\/fantasy references we can drop instead… Bene Gesserit witch<\/a>. Also, check out this excellent six degrees <\/a>of Grimes.<\/p>\n

Former champs Arcade Fire<\/strong> continue to be in the news. Win Butler is making the obligatory transition<\/a> into scoring by working on a short film called Home Burial<\/em> based on a Robert Frost poem. That, and the band are doing their part to help a neighborhood Montreal flower shop that’s down on its luck.<\/p>\n
