From the Nanaimo Daily News: Kerplunks earn second consecutive Juno nod.

Gabriola's KerplunksA group of Gabriola Island children entertainers (sic) have taken a second giant step toward becoming a household name in Canada. The Kerplunks were nominated for a second consecutive Juno Award and the odds of winning are better without stars like the Barenaked Ladies in the running.

(They mean children’s entertainers, of course. The Kerplunks are all grown up now.)

I don’t listen to much children’s music, but I do hope The Kerplunks win. They’re so sweet and friendly and fun that one can’t help but wish good things for them.
