I think Help would mix in better with the content other nominated artists would be obstensibly contributing. Plus, I guarantee Metric would give them Help because it was their biggest hit.

Fair enough, I just don't like Help that much.

Probably just overplayed it.

I'm getting to the overplayed point with Sympathy. Don't think it sounds too hot live either.

Beast - Beast
Coeur De Pirate - Coeur De Pirate
Land Of Talk - Some Are Lakes
Malajube - Labyrinthes
Metric - Fantasies
The Stills - Oceans Will Rise
Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer

Are like, the only records I've heard besides Handsome Furs, D-Sisive and K'Naan's.
I really love Coeur De Pirate though, Beatrice Martin is such a cutie. :c

Agreed. The title track is so nice, it nearly brings me to tears whenever I hear it.

THINK ABOUT LIFE. They won't win, but I'm proud of them for being nominated.

Maybe when I die,
I get to be a car,
Driving in the night,
Lighting up the dark...

They have to get shortlist.

Heard one song from Malajube and liked it quite a bit. Sending some support their way.

I didn't know this. I haven't even met a person who has heard of her / them besides myself. Ahh, the luxuries of living in a small town.

She's lovely!
I was so close to seeing her for NXNE; but then last minute decided not to

yeah, she's okay. nothing super special. she's not bad live too. really sarcastic though, kinda rubbed me the wrong way a little. but she's a cutie.

also, the singing lamb's probably going to run some kind of contest/pool for the polaris prize - i'll keep you posted!
