Mrs. JD tweeted it at me today minutes after the decision. I think she was disappointed when we did hit one up for lunch. ("Tim Whoretons").

Hey Canadians - I'm a jury member on the Polaris Music Prize. Almost time to make my 5 picks for Canadian album of the year for June 1 2011 - May 31, 2012. Any suggestions?

So far I am thinking:
Joel Plaskett - Scrappy Happiness
Islands - A Sleep and A Forgetting
John K Samson - Provincial
Teenburger - Frights

I'd consider
Grimes - Visions
Arkells - Michigan Left
Yukon Blonde - Tiger Talk
Bahamas - Barchords
Patrick Watson - Adventures In Your Own Backyard
Dan Mangan - Oh Fortune
Said The Whale - Little Mountain
****ed Up - David Comes To Life (but they've won before)

David Comes to Life was great. I love this band, but don't know about this album. Grimes is great, too.

Simply looks to recognize the best Canadian album of the year. Only criteria is Canadian album (EPs don't count) that came out within the time period.

Yeah, Ron Sexsmith and Destroyer made the shortlist last year. It was their 12th and 9th albums respectively.

Yeah, it's true that the guy seems in the middle of the road. Could be hit by an 18-wheeler IMO.

It has happened before or it is a myth.

I'll assume it's a myth.

What's almost as important as poker?

Bacon of course.

This is important enough that it should at least merit "breaking news" status on the next pokercast.

Story here: http://mashable.com/2012/09/25/bacon-shortage-twitter/

Stock up while you still can...

Cheers.

Bacon shortages on the horizon.

Time to start stocking up. Anyone done any research on freezers with optimal bacon capacity?
