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

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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

no wonder it sounds so fucking awesome

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

"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.

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
