Carly Rae Jepsen • Kiss

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

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

"Call Me Maybe" singer cancels Boy Scout concert over gay ban

Canadian pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen on Tuesday pulled out of a concert for the Boy Scouts of America because of the organization's ban on gay members, becoming the second headliner to pull out of the Scouts' Summer Jamboree show.

Jepsen, whose hit single "Call Me Maybe" was nominated for Grammy Song of the Year, said on Twitter that she would not perform for the Boy Scouts because of her support for gay rights.

"I always have and will continue to support the LGBT community on a global level," Jepsen, 27, said.

Rock band Train also said last week they would not play the concert at the Boy Scouts' National Summer Jamboree, set for July in West Virginia, unless the youth organization changed its ban on gay participants.

didnt understand a lick of this article but i loved reading it anyway

Very nice SOS article, and good to see Carly is right-on too.

When I found out there was a Call Me Maybe acapella a few months back I started work on an acid remix one afternoon. I never got around to going back to it, so here’s the demo version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/10coepmcis43xvr/Matty%20Balaam%20-%20Call%20Mescaline%20%28Super%20early%20demo%29.ogg
