P.S. F'D UP are a joke of a band and their mediocre album wasn't even worthy of the long list.... that pathetic polaris jury showed its true colours Sorry to disagree with you frank but Hey Rosetta! had the best performance of the night by far……. its not their problem they were scheduled up so late into the night near the shows end when most of the guests were piss drunk!

Our tax dollars at work in more ways than one. The car speakers survived the first spin of The Chemistry of Common Life. I started it loud, and then turned it up louder. By the time I got to work, I was worried about drawing stares -- 'what the hell is that middle-aged guy listening to?' I have no clue about the genre, but there were at least three songs flipped my switch. My kids (age 16) hated it. Made me turn it down this evening. Back to wimp rock I guess.

What is the state of censorship in the mainstream press these days? As an ex-pat, I am curious as to how Fucked Up’s win is being reported.

I've never been a fan of his music, but that wandering-robo-minstrel performance from last night convinced me to give his albums another chance.

And starting off with the piano dirge didn't help, but they did indeed get it together.

Though I'm surprised at your comments about Hey Rosetta!'s performance. Watching online, it seemed like they knocked it out. Awesome write up man.
