Why is Metric any more of a joke than most of the other nominees? (Not that Metric's any good but it's not like they're much worse than Wolf Parade and given their popularity, they seem kinda obvious)

Okay, take it back-- even though I don't like the album, Owen should win for his morsel of vertically-composed cloudy poo.

If "He Poos Clouds" wins, I'm founding a new award with the prize money. It's called the "Rogers Wireless Biggest Tits in Canada" award. I'm writing the mission statement right now.
But my money is on Metric. Cadence Weapon 1st runner up.

Heh, this thread.
Fucked Up won this year then. Woop. Checking out Malajube as I type - based on one listen of this and the FU album, Labyrinthes is a more worthy victor, perhaps?

enjoyed Destroyer, Stetson and Braids the most out of these. in fact I love all three of em to bits.
― I'm A Genius, Too! (Jamie_ATP), Sunday, 10 July 2011 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
I predict either Arcade Fire or Stetson, on basis of what I've heard and read (if unusually prominent and consistently favorable coverage of bass sax helps; plus status guests like Laurie Anderson). Unless there's a reaction against that sort of thing? Why did Neil's Neily-as-hell hippy-dippy solo set (which at least flaunts his still-robust electric guitar chops) get cut from the short list?
― dow, Sunday, 10 July 2011 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
Even though it was recorded and mixed in realtime by Lanois!
― dow, Sunday, 10 July 2011 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
I predicted Stetson FTW back when the longlist came out. really hoping he takes it, his recent show here was Herculean.
― THIS IS SATIRE BTW (Simon H.), Sunday, 10 July 2011 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
In addition to Judges, Colin played sax on both the AF and Timber Timbre records.
― Boehner & der club of GOP (Ówen P.), Sunday, 10 July 2011 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
I'm preditcing either Stetson or Destroyer as the winners, with Hey Rosetta and The Weeknd as other possibilities.
― MarkoP, Sunday, 10 July 2011 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
having arcade fire win this would risk total irrelevance, such an imperceptibly faint addition to their earlier victories, like no one might even notice
― nicki minaj - superb ass (flopson), Sunday, 10 July 2011 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
Young Galaxy is my favourite off the longlist that I've heard, disappointed it's not made the shortlist.
― ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Sunday, 10 July 2011 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
2015 long-list is out. Is it always so indie-heavy? Don't have much to say about these because (like most people probably) I've only heard a few of these. Of the ones I've listened to I like Absolutely Free, Cold Specks, Frazey Ford and Milk & Bone but I can't see any of them winning. I think Buffy will get it (haven't heard it btw).
Absolutely Free - Absolutely Free.

Bernice, CFCF and The Weather Station are all shoo-ins for inclusion I'm guessing, but most of the others are unknown to me

I've only heard Cadence Weapon, Rochelle Jordan, and Mustafa. I'm rooting for Mustafa personally.

Zoon, Dorothea Paas and Fiver's records are all highly recommended. Personally rooting for Cadence Weapon to win it, great album
