What did I tell ya? "Vancouver artists are quickly becoming Canada's new Olympians of music," I wrote two weeks ago. Four of the city's artists won CBC Radio 3's Bucky Awards earlier today -- Hannah Georgas for best new artist, Said The Whale for Most Canadian Song (Emerald Lake, AB), Mother Mother for best live act, and Dan Mangan for best vocals and best song (Robots).
OK, so the Buckys aren't quite as prestigious as the Grammys or Junos ... but they're definitely more fun. (Fan votes determine the winners.) You can listen to a podcast of today's "ceremonies" via CBC Radio 3's website. The second set of awards will be announced tomorrow ... as in Thursday, Dec. 10.
