The 40 records that make up the 2012 Polaris Music Prize Long List got announced last week. It’s a fun time because this now gives music nerds something to argue about. It also gives me new material to write about in my Polaris People column.

Speaking of which, the latest edition of the Polaris Music Prize weekly news roundup is now online.

In it there’s stuff about Japandroids, socionics as they relate to Broken Social Scene, and the travesty that is Carly Rae Jepsen not making the Long List.

Oh, and if you want to really dork out, check out the Polaris Prize fast facts I compiled about this year’s Long List.

UPDATE: Because Spinner is RIP this story can now be found HERE.

British folk singer Ben Howard had a viral hit by covering Carly Rae Jepsen‘s viral hit “Call Me Maybe.”

Thing is, he’s not actually that fond of the whole experience and actually compared it to going “to the belly of hell.”

We know this because Sarah interviewed him and wrote a story about it for Spinner.

UPDATE: Because AOL Music Blog is RIP this story can now be found in full here.

Taylor, Zac and Isaac Hanson, also known as the MMMBop Hansons, had the pleasure of touring with Justin Bieber-approved singing type gal Carly Rae Jepsen. The Hanson family thought Jepsen was a cool chick apparently.

At least that’s what the brothers told Sarah when she talked to them. So she then wrote a bit story about it for AOL Music Blog.

Apparently, just like every other person in the known universe, breakout singer Carly Rae Jepsen is obsessed with The Hunger Games.

Is she Katniss and Peeta? Is she Katniss and Gale? Who knows? Because when Sarah interviewed Jepsen for the AOL Music Blog they didn’t really discuss that part. But what they did talk about you can read by clicking here.

Because AOL Music Blog is RIP, this story can now be found HERE.

Justin Bieber’s been in starmaker mode lately and the number one beneficiary has been Carly Rae Jepsen.

Basically, Bieber and his GF Selena Gomez are, like, totally swaggin’ (or whatever the kids say) over Jepsen’s song “Call Me Maybe.”

With that in mind, Sarah, our 21 Jump Street-style undercover detective, went and talked to Jepsen about the whole rollercoaster fame deal.

You can read about the resulting story at the AOL Music Blog here.
