38th Annual JUNO Awards

Hi there, this is my first post on the Radio Blog.

So you ask, JUNO Awards? Well it's Canada's idea of the Grammy's. Hosted once again by Comedian Russell Peters, from Vancouver, BC.
This years big winners were Nickelback, taking home 3 awards for Group Of The Year, Album Of The Year and Juno Fan Choice. Other award winners were....
Artist Of The Year - Sam Roberts
New Group Of The Year - The Stills
New Artist Of The Year - Lights
Songwriter Of The Year - City and Colour
International Album Of The Year - Coldplay
Country Recording Of The Year - Beautiful Life, Doc Walker
Adult Alternative Album Of The Year - is it o.k., Serena Ryder
Alternative Album Of The Year - Oceans Will Rise, The Stills
Pop Album Of The Year - Flavors of Entanglement, Alanis Morissette
Rock Album Of The Year - Love At The End Of The World, Sam Roberts

And yes I just bet most of you haven't heard of a lot of these Artists. I was disappointed to see that Theory of a Deadman didn't win anything as I think there latest CD, Scars & Souvenirs just totally rocks!!!!!!!!!
Well theres a good taste of Canadian Artists, if you want to check out the full list of winners go to

Hmmm 4am guess its bedtime...nah gotta listen to more Deadman...till next time

Yes I agree that 'Scars and Souvenirs' should have got something. What about Nickelback? Are they regarded as an American band these days? Some good choices there though. Maybe the JUNOs has the same problem the British awards used to have - you never got an award if you were too popular..sort of a snobby thing?
