Today we were Long Listed for Polaris. It makes us feel proud and it also makes us feel kind of funny. In the last hour we got one Google Alert that said we were the deserving underdog and another that said we were the most over-rated of the bunch.
Either way, thanks to everyone for their congrats. And big high fives to the other bands on the list, and high tens to our close buddies Timber Timbre and Snailhouse.
As for our vote, if we were allowed to make it, I think most of us feel like Chad VanGaalen's record was the best of the year.
What we're really looking forward to is our tour. Please come out to one of the shows! We're gonna be chiseled old people by the time all that driving is over with. The dates, in case you haven't seen 'em, are here...
