This list of musicians who we lost this year is by no means definitive, and is entirely dependent on my faulty memory (other than birth and death dates, which came from Wikipedia - I'm not that good). Any exclusions are unintentional.

It's List Addicts Friday time - and today's topic is high school crushes and unrequited love. Why? Just because I'm in the mood for it and these two always go together. High school has always been a memorable time for me - not because of the nice memories I've shared with my high school friends, but because of all the heartache, heartbreak and the tramautic experiences I've had dealing with members of the opposite sex. Despite the good intentions of the strict nuns at my high school, and my loving, yet overprotective father, I wasn't prepared to deal [...]
As I write this article, my browser is dominated by tabs of different Canadian Artists who either have released or will be releasing albums this year. We are all already familiar with four new singles off of the Arcade Fire's new album entitled The Suburbs set to drop sometime in the next few months, and the newest release by Broken Social Scene called Forgiveness Rock Record which, in my opinion has been one of the most impressive releases of the year. Stars' album is set to drop tomorrow, but what [...]

The shortlist will be announced on July 6, 2010. Here are my 10 predicitons: The Besnard Lakes - The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night They were nominated in the inaugural year of Polaris. I [...]
La muerte de un integrante para una banda es algo que suele pegarles muy, muy duro. Considerando que entre los miembros de los grupos son, además de amigos, prácticamente familiares después de pasar horas y horas viajando y estando solos en países lejanos sin más que su compañía, es algo completamente lógico. Hace poco el baterista de You Say Party! We Say Die! , llamado Devon Clifford , tuvo una hemorragia cerebral durante una presentación que la banda estaba realizando en el Rickshaw Theatre en Vancouver. Los médicos no lograron salvarlo y después de eso la [...]
