WatchHamilton’s Edgar Breau used to front “proto-punk/psych” band Simply Saucer. I couldn’t tell you what that alliteration-filled genre sounds like.

Wow. Looking past the usual suspects (Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Michael Buble, etc.), the nominees for the 2012 Juno Awards may put a smile on your face. For example, Vancouver’s own Dan Mangan and chanteuse Feist ties some other unnamed behemoths for most noms at a staggering 4, Braids comes up a couple of times (one of my 2011 favourites), Diamond Rings gets a nod for best new artist...
