Carly Rae Jepsen • Kiss

i love the run from "this kiss" to "hurt so good" ("good time" excepted, i've given it a chance but now i just skip it)

yeah see, i love "tiny little bows" but am starting to skip "this kiss". don't care for the steamwhistle synths, reminds me too much of "teenage dream".

That one w bieber sounds like a Colbie cheese Callait / Hey There Delilah mashup.

i would love to participate in this conversation but i can't actually make myself listen to anything besides "i know you have a girlfriend" AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN

it's hitting every rick springfield button i have, and a handful that i don't

"and i think she's kinda nice" - the coldest dagger

Haha the reason you like 'I Know You Have A Girlfriend' is because it sounds like boshed-up ROBYN.

(I really like that one as well)

isn't it "and i hear she's kinda nice"?

oh maybe so!

good point about robyn.

the way she slides up into "wiiiife" etc reminds me of someone, i can't think who. i want to say the pistol annies or something.

hmmm, I'm not into this. I'm sure I'll end up enjoying whatever non-Owl City songs from this end up on the radio tho.

It's all pretty competent and whatever, obvious exceptions aside, it's just a lot more of this style of music than I want to hear at one time. Too much Natasha Beddingfield realness.

lmbo @ "Natasha Beddingfield realness"

agree with rev, this album is a lil bit too shrill

From Katharine St. Asaph: How the Internet Killed Carly Rae Jepsen.

the stretch of good time > more than a memory > turn me up is p stellar

Great article. Thanks for pointing it out Ned.

ya, v good

even still though, meme-mummify-maim is not binding, it's still an opportunity however complicated; crj has a lot going for her, more than most, and it has to go down as a bigtime industry fumble if they can't keep her ball rolling for at very least a few singles more

so this is good huh?

i want her to do a video for "i know you have a girlfriend" where she's in a harsh white spotlight, a trio behind her, small drumkit, her backup band looking like young joe jackson session guys, all of them with microphones for bg vocals which they perform early and often, and carly with her own strat that she jerks smartly around for the chorus, everything FIXED UP and lookin SHARP

^ fantastic idea!

gbx, this is really really good.

and tracer, that sounds AMAZING

Katherine otm. "Your Heart is a Muscle" and "This Kiss" are at least as good as "Call Me Maybe." The album overall is stronger and tougher than Red, actually.

ehh the album is pretty lame and there were one hit wonders before the youtube era

it's not your father's one-hit wonder though

my three year old is cuckoo for "good time" -- gotta mean something, right?

is that the owl city guy? he is the voice of my daughter's generation.

i don't think there's any way in hell i'd listen to this album all the way through, yet i love or like every song on it apart from the duets.

I like the color palettes in this video, though I feel like the song is now about 5 years old. Why'd they take so long to make a video?

truly chilling words.

the song it's following up only fell out of the top 10 last week, they're just staggering the singles in the usual way (xpost)

this song would have been a great summer jam had "call me maybe" not snatched that title away from every other song in existence

Katherine otm. "Your Heart is a Muscle" and "This Kiss" are at least as good as "Call Me Maybe

I can see it with 'This Kiss' but 'You Heart Is A Muscle' is awful, largely because it's a clunky title and a very clunky lyric to use in a chorus.

Local radio finally playing "This Kiss."

did we cover this somewhere?

i don't care about dan deacon otherwise but this is like bespoke catnip for me

Started making an acid/Hague remix of this the other day after that tipped me off there was an acapella around.

not a great video tbh

surprisingly good, i thought.

song's sounding good this aft, too.

I forget who brought up the idea that this would make a really good mashup with dancing on my own but this was a while back when it was an album track and now that it's actually a single it might actually be possible

okay I had absolutely no idea that "Call Me Maybe" was mixed by Dave Ogilvie

no wonder it sounds so fucking awesome

Would love to know if whoever did that mashup with NIN already knew -- I suspect they did.

I just came here to post that. It is truly inspired.

I think it's weak and lazy as fuck, but whatever.

we'll all be over here not caring

:D
