Big ups to Tyrone - the glorious winner to Indie Pool's first (and likely ever) guacamole tournament! (Not pictured: gold-plated avocado trophy)

Who's your bet for the Polaris Music Prize? The short list is in, as are all our predictions - some of us were WAY off - come see in the comments!

In honour of Polaris Music Prize, the Indie Pool office will be listening through all 40 of the long list releases this week (8 albums a day), and each of us will be drafting our own "Indie Poolaris" short list in the coming weeks. The entire team has always had fun reviewing and making our own short lists - so this year we thought we'd make it public! Is there anyone you felt got snubbed from a Polaris nomination? Who's your bet for short list? Let us know!

It's ZJ's last day today, so we're sending our GM off the respectful way - with a burrito competition, of course! Stay tuned for the festivities.

And we’re back! We missed you all terribly.
