On the night before the Polaris Prize is handed out, we nod to some of the finest artistic integrity rooted in Canadian music of this year. George chats with Steve Jordan, founder and executive-director of Polaris, about this year's nominees that includes Cadence Weapon, Handsome Furs and Grimes. In the Magnificent Seven, we spin some of the hottest tracks this week, ranging from some of our nation's finest exports, like Japandroids, to Kanye's latest. As a testament to hip-hop's soul samples, DJ Big Jacks drops in for this week's Blend. And we'll visit that horizontal state of mind in the Big Lie Down. Join the collective this Sunday evening as we assure the spirit of radio is alive and well.
