Off the top, a hat tip to Finland’s Kaija Saariaho and Senegal’s Youssou N’Dour who’ve been named the laureates for the 2013 Polar Music Prize<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Swedish award is given out annually to two people regardless of nationality, \u00ab\u00a0for significant achievements in music and\/or musical activity, or for achievements which are found to be of great potential importance for music or musical activity, and it shall be referable to all fields within or closely connected with music.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Speaking of musical activities, word on the street is that the bitchin’ airbrushed bald eagle t-shirt I just got at Value Village for $2.99 won’t cut it<\/a> at this year’s Polaris Gala<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are, however, some people who can wear whatever they want to the Polaris Gala. That would be our favourite people, the Polaris People. <\/p>\n

Let’s see what some of them were up to this week.<\/p>\n

Former Short and Long Lister Dan Mangan<\/strong> has a tip for air travel â\u20ac\u201d wear your in-ear monitor<\/a> and watch episodes of Twin Peaks<\/em>. He’s also aiming for another fluke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two-time Short Lister Chad VanGaalen<\/strong> continues to get noticed for his animation work. Cartoon Brew is the latest place to highlight <\/a>his often \u00ab\u00a0continuously morphing, intricately formed loops that he draws both digitally and traditionally.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Kathleen Edwards<\/strong>, a two-time Short Lister and good Ottawa gal has a message for Montreal.<\/p>\n

Dear Montreal, I’M NOT SORRYorJE NE SUIS PAS SORRY.<\/p>\n
