oh my goodness
exciting news people: this riot life has made it onto the Long List for the polaris prize! alongside some of my very favorite records from last year as well. go to that link to see the exalted company. i’m totally chuffed.
in other events, you can watch some pretty amazing footage of a beluga whale giving birth at the vancouver aquarium just a few days ago. right here. a bit bloody of course, but exciting. they had quite an audience as well.

I don’t think Awards mean much, but, if you happen to win, I might start to believe in them!
Meanwhile, CBC Radio 2 will air a Leonard Cohen homage this weekend, and I think you will sing some of his songs (I suppose they will be part of this year’s Songbook):
