Tell us about your top-ranked choice. Why #1?

I was really quite stunned to not see Sunns on the Long List. They received more attention outside of Canada...

We're back! This month, Vancouver and Toronto Record Salons continue with two most excellent records up for Polaris Prize 2012: "Ghost" by The Devin Townsend Project and "Sound Kapital" by Handsome Furs. And it's still free!

What’s your record store best known for (or: what’s unique about it)?

Blackbyrd is best known for its wide and eclectic selection of cutting edge sounds, new and old. For the past 18 years, Blackbyrd has always had a great selection of vinyl too, and currently boasts a wide array of records covering every style and genre.

Behind the scenes at last night's 2011 Polaris gala at the Masonic Temple – the sights, the sounds, and all the quotable quotes in between!

Congratulations to Montreal's Arcade Fire and all the Short List artists!

We love all of our sponsors – because all of our sponsors love music.

We love Rdio because when we said to them, "Let's stream some Short List albums in full right from our site," they said: "We can do that."

Starting at 12am ET this coming Tuesday the 23rd, and for the next few Tuesdays and Thursdays, we will stream a selected Short List record right here for 24 hours for your opining and listening enjoyment.
