Sometimes, nostalgia turns out to be a very good thing. A long time ago, The Adventures of Pete & Pete was a totally awesome show. And after watching it again just this afternoon, it turns out it's still totally awesome and a lot deeper in the musically awesome department than we realized at age eight (and we're not just talking the theme music). When discussing the music of Pete & Pete , it all starts with Polaris. The wonderfully '90s theme song "Hey Sandy" was penned by Mark Mulcahy, originally the frontman for Miracle Legion [...]

and here's Arcade Fire accepting the $30,000 for winning the Polaris Music Prize: Like I said on twitter , I think they're worthy winners but Arcade Fire winning yet another award is so unexciting from a PR point of view. And just curious: do people outside of Canada think they are the best rock band in the world right now like one of my co-workers claimed the other day? Leave your thoughts on that in the comments below. And if you're curious about my thoughts on all the albums [...]

On the heels of a year which included a Best Album Grammy, a Juno award, and a Brit Award, Arcade Fire has also won the 2011 Polaris Prize for their album, The Suburbs released in 2010. For those unfamiliar with the prize - which was won by Fucked Up in 2009 , it is a Canadian award modeled after the UK's Mercury Prize and is based purely on the opinions of jurors and not record sales. The jury list [...]

Every one in Canada thinks that the Arcade Fire is the greatest export that their country has ever produced, and they will do anything to 'hype' and 'reward' their golden goose, which is why they gave them the Polaris Prize. The prize is a Canadian gimmick that the country has to 'celebrate its arts/artists' and reward them with money, especially because 'indie' used to be a poor people sport, but now the Arcade Fire are rich, but also 'hella mainstream.' Now the country has a 'national crisis'-- do we give the [...]

El último álbum de la banda liderada por Win Butler no para de recibir elogios y reconocimientos a más de un año de su lanzamiento. Este fin de semana los chicos de Montreal alzaron el prestigioso premio Polaris a la música canadiense. Después de salir victorioso en las categorías Álbum del Año en los Grammy y los Juno Awards y Álbum Internacional en los Brit Awards, The Suburbs (2010) sigue cosechando galardones. Esta vez el premio es más [...]

Arcade Fire beat out the other 9 shortlisters to win this years Polaris Prize and 30k for their album The Suburbs . For the first time since the awards started in 2006, an indie band that went "mainstream" ending up winning. As artistic merit is the only factor in the decision to pick the Polaris winner, it seems as if we've just moved into a music industry where an artist can produce a great album and get rewarded both by critics and the public. Congrats to Arcade Fire .

Mais um troféu para decorar a sala de estar de Win Butler e Régine Chassagne . Depois de conquistar o Grammy e o Brit Awards, The Suburbs , o elogiado terceiro álbum do Arcade Fire , foi nomeado "Melhor álbum do ano" pelo Polaris Music Prize, equivalente canadense do Mercury Prize britânico, conquistado no último mês por PJ Harvey . Para conquistar o troféu e a premiação monetária invejável de 30 mil dólares, o Arcade Fire derrotou álbuns de Neil Young , Destroyer , Austra , Hey [...]

"And the winner of the 2011 Polaris Music Prize is The Suburbs!" Wait, what? No one actually expected Arcade Fire to win, right? After all, this is a prize that has in its short history traditionally spurned the bands that may have seemed like the obvious choices. Sometimes, however, the obvious choice is the right choice. It also certainly helps that the album in question is damn good. Besides, The Suburbs might just be the best collection of songs that its creators have put out in their young but illustrious careers.

Un año más tuvo lugar la celebración del Polaris Music Prize , un galardón que se entrega a los mejores álbumes y artistas del año para Canadá . En esta, su sexta edición, he de decir que los artistas nominados contaban con bastante calidad y muy buenos lanzamientos. Por primera vez en su historia el premio ascendía a 30.000 dólares canadienses, y hasta el año pasado, cuando Karkwa se llevó el premio con Les Chemins De Verre los ganadores se llevaban 10.000 dólares menos.

Well the 2011 version of the Polaris Music Prize was handed out at a gala in Toronto last night. In the past, the jury has shown a preference for the underdogs, awarding the prize to the likes of Final Fantasy, Caribou, and Fucked Up. This time around they surprised no one as the Grammy Award-winning Arcade Fire took home the prize for their album The Suburbs. There's no denying that it was a

Photographs by Kristian Noel Pedersen The Arcade Fire can now add the 2011 Polaris Music Prize to their lengthy list of accolades. Following various other wins this past year for their 2010 record The Suburbs , including a BRIT Award, a Juno award and a surprise win at the Grammys, the Montreal band took home the $30,000 prize last night in Toronto. Although the band chose to not perform at the gala – which featured sets from six of the ten shortlist nominees (absent were Colin Stetson, [...]

Arcade Fire @ ACL Live on Saturday ( more by Tim Griffin ) "There's only going to be one outcome of the Polaris Music Prize gala on Monday night: either the Arcade Fire wins or the Arcade Fire loses. If the acclaimed Montreal ensemble wins, it will be the first time in the award's six-year history that the Polaris grand jury's choice of victor lines up with mainstream tastes. The album for which the Arcade Fire is nominated this year, The Suburbs, hit No. [...]

Arcade Fire's third LP, The Suburbs , just won this year's Polaris Music Prize. The annual prize, which honors the best album from Canada, is selected by a small jury of music journalists, bloggers, and broadcasters. Their first-ever Polaris Prize win, Arcade Fire beat out such formidable candidates as Destoryer, The Weeknd, Austra, and Colin Stetson. Along with bragging rights, Win Butler and co. also receive a $30,000 cash prize.

Here is the tenth and last album on the Polaris Music Prize 2011 shortlist. It is House of Balloons by The Weeknd . I am going to cut to chase and make my prediction on the album. It is hands that *hopefully* 100% that The Weeknd will win this year's Polaris Music Prize. If it's not then it will be a big uproar. We don't need anymore single white guys winning the Prize, more diversity please! [...]
