Feist, Malajube, Patrick Watson et Arcade Fire en nomination aux Bucky Awards

Organisés par CBC Radio 3, les Bucky Awards sont des prix plus ou moins sérieux destinés aux artistes canadiens. On rigole d'ailleurs en lisant les catégories «Meilleure chanson à écouter en position foetale» ou «Meilleure raison d'apprendre le français (excluant Giselle Webber)».

Les Internautes ont jusqu'au 30 novembre pour voter.
