Is anyone else as perturbed as I am by today’s announcement from CTV and the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, also known as CARAS?
The two organizations revealed today that St. John’s, Newfoundland would be the host city for the 2010 Juno Awards, which marks the second time that the city has hosted the awards in eight years.
And the torture wraps up with the last hour of the night. 9:05 PM – Anne Murray and some friends perform on stage, with a standing ovation from the crowd.…
8:28 PM – Finger Eleven take the stage with a mini-orchestra opening for them, and do a bang-up job of “Paralyzer”. They’re not very interesting on stage, but it’s still…
Here we go – another Juno Awards (this year in Calgary, Alberta), and another rant about why they suck. I really want to like them, but I’m sorry – why…
