also there was this super #Deep ass article written by some guy on this review site where he compared patrick’s “run away with me” remix to Soul punk and FAD and it was the most extra thing ive ever read that im convinced i myself wrote it

its an article from NPR.  extra ass highlights include:

• how he describes patrick:
• “This is a great time to remind everyone that after the rise of Justin but before the dawn of Zayn, the world heard from another Top 40 boy wonder who’d decided he was ready for his R&B close-up.” 
• “It was a moment of promise for those who knew, amid all the derision and dismissal, that the chubby kid from Fall Out Boy was actually a dynamite singer and arranger.”
  
• “[Soul Punk] made Stump’s disco fetish a feature rather than a bonus.” 
  
• “Pete Wentz, the androgynously cute tabloid star, good-enough bass player and author of reams of spiraling goth poetry,”
  
• “The buddy-cop dynamic was surprising, and it produced bizarre marvels like 2008’s “Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet,” a funky adultery tale that roars with the octave range of guilty lovers engaged in hasty coupling.” 
  
• “[Carly Rae Jepsen] and Stump make a perfect pair — two winningly bashful ‘80s babies in a teen market, each enjoying a cult version of mainstream success.”
  
• “Stump takes a risk by leaving the structure intact and focusing on mood. […] Stump cranks the rhythm way down to half-time and trades the warm synth swells for sharp, crystalline stabs. It’s the same scene with a blue filter on it, reminding us that new love can be both fun and scary as hell.”
  
• “If there’s anything resembling a producer trademark here, it’s a moment 30 seconds before the end, by which point the track has earned the right to ride its momentum into the sunset. Instead, it stops cold — and breaks the silence with a clattering fill, the kind that evokes a drummer chasing his kit down a flight of stairs. It’s completely unnecessary, but there’s a lot of heart in that half-second of din.”
  
• “But there’s something daring in treating Jepsen, a kindred earnest goof, with gravity — and then, once he’s made his point, stepping out of the mix to humbly ask us for the same.”
  

like it was really JUST a goddamned remix.. he didnt have to do all that.. all those sources.. but he did.. He did that. Daoud Tyler-Ameen from NPR really did that
