Who Would I Pick for the Polaris Short-List?

Tue, 2009-07-07 07:30 by Jeff Schroeder  

The Polaris short list is being released this morning at 11 am EST. But, if you are reading this, you probably are already aware of this and I've just made myself redundant. I don’t care, though. The great thing about the Polaris is that it is the first award that represents the true music talent in our beautiful country. (For a great read on the music award scene in Canada, check out Chris' article here). Because of this, it is finally something us music geeks (read: lovers) can get excited about and discuss ad nauseum.

So, of course I have to put my opinion out for discussion. Please, though, keep in mind I—despite my most valiant of efforts—was unable to purchase and listen to all 40 long list nominees. So, take it easy on my predictions for the short list. I guess they're not really predictions, but more what I think should make the cut, based on what I have heard.

In no particular order:

Chad VanGaalen, Soft Airplane

Junior Boys, Begone Dull Care

Wolf Parade, At Mount Zoomer

Pink Mountaintops, Outside Love

Bell Orchestre, As Seen Through Windows

Hey Rosetta!, Into Your Lungs

Land of Talk, Some Are Lakes

Great Lake Swimmers, Lost Channels

Metric, Fantasies

Martha Wainwright, I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too

ALright, so maybe there was some sort of particular order … As looking at it, I feel the top three Canadian albums this year were Soft Airplane, Begone Dull Care and At Mount Zoomer. So, if one of those don’t win, I think I will be a little disappointed - but only a little.

Now, let the discussion begin.
