unknown pleasures 4.3: Polaris Surprise

2007-09-26T09:37:00.000-07:00

Here he is in all his pseudo-glory. Yeah, whatever. Congrats. (photo by David Topping at www.torontoist.com)

And here's the woman who should have won-- Julie Doiron. (photo by David Topping at www.torontoist.com)

Unfortunately the folks from Burnt Oak records couldn't make it to the station in time for the show, which worked out fine 'cause there was a Canadian music award given out the night before. Maybe you've heard of the Polaris Music Prize? It's just this annual award that (suppposedly) recognizes the best of Canadian musical talent in the form of a $20,000 cash prize. Steve Jordan started it back in 2006 to support this thing some people refer to as the "renaissance" of Canadian music. You know, Constantines, Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, EXPLOSION OF GREAT MUSIC IN CANADA, yada yada yada...

Is anyone else as surprised as I am that Patrick Watson won? Did anyone see this coming or even know who Watson was before he got the nod back in July? I heard rumblings about him prior to the award, but only because he was touring and, ya know, I've got this radio show. Had anyone outside of the tight-knit community of music savants heard of this guy prior to the award ceremony? Well, now he represents the best of the best of what this country has to offer musically. Awesome.

I suppose that's just the nature of such a new music prize-- there's no precident for them to fall back on. It's not as if they've consistently given the award to the most popular, well-known artist, or the one we're all expecting to win. This is only its second year, and they've got no precident at all. They could just give the award to the worst album for the next ten years.

Although, last year Final Fantasy won for He Poos Clouds, and no one was surprised about that. Sure, it would have been nice to see Cadence Weapon or The New Pornographers win, but Final Fantasy was an all around good pick.

But Patrick Watson? Seriously?

Oh well, at least he can pay off his Budget rent-a-car bill for $16,000. Now he'll have $4,000 to make another mediocre, good-for-its-genre-but-doesn't-stand-out record.

Get ready for it!
Richard Laviolette and Chris Yang are (fingers crossed) going to join me on air this Tuesday. They're in town for a show at The Sleepless Goat to support their split EP "Hands and Feats". It will be Richard's second time performing at the Goat (he came last year with the Ghost Bees) and Chris' first time. The two have been touring together on and off for just under 2 years.

Also-- hold tight for some very special, very awesome show announcements, which might have something to do with The Hidden Cameras, Julie Doiron and dd/mm/yyyy!

2007-09-15T07:25:00.000-07:00

Mark Prier and Robert Jelinek are accepting new citizens today at Modern Fuel. Jelinek's State of Sabotage is also claiming a piece of land on Wolfe Island this afternoon at 2:30, following a talk at the gallery with both of the artists and their respective states. Nomadsland, Prier's state-of-mind state, will grant passports to willing participants at Confederation Basin this morning at 10am.

Check out this link to an interview I had with the artists, as well as the guest curator--Modern Fuel Goes the Distance.

entry the first

2007-09-10T13:58:00.000-07:00

My forays into blogs up to this point have been angst-ridden and rarely updated. Remember livejournal? I was all over that in a bad way. Ditto for Xanga. I hope this one will be different. Given that its purpose is to chart my radio show Unknown Pleasures (which is broadcast live on CFRC 101.9 fm on Tuesdays from 2:30 to 4pm), it very well should be. I always make a point of NOT talking about my personal life on the airwaves, and if this is going to be a database-of-sorts I'd best be updating it at lease once a week. At least.

Seeing as I don't have the internet at my apartment, I'm parked at the Sleepless Goat where the internet is free and the coffee is tasty and not burnt. Check out Unknown Pleasures tomorrow at 2:30-- the first show of the year will include a look back at summer concerts (including the Wolfe Island Music Festival) and some of the music I've gotten into over my four-month absence. Desmond Dekker, White Magic and Justice will all be covered, despite their obvious differences.. listen to see how I connect the dots!
