Toronto - The Polaris Music Prize is going to be announced on September 24th and I am going to attempt to pick the winner for you now.

The winner is going to be the Besnard Lakes

Why? Because I just have a feeling, and earlier this year when their CD came out, I couldn’t shit sideways without hearing about it. It is also a really good CD too, especially when you are frying up some eggs and bacon on a lazy Sunday morning.

A lot of people are picking Miracle Fortress to take the Polaris honor this year for the simple fact that he is probably the most ‘independent’ of all the nominees and also because he is a dark horse, just like Owen Pallet was last year. If the Besnard Lakes don’t take it, Miracle Fortress just might.

Later
