Calvin Harris should stop making music immediately

Ian Van Dahl is female.

deej was so right about this

if u guys love him so much can we effect some sort of c harris swap? u can take that endless twat calvin and we'll have t.i. or cici.

(u're all OBV wrong about this dreadful, hackish track)

his remix for Passion Pit is massive. really good for the summer!

i was just listening to that youtube clip thinking "yuk, this is awful" then the beat kicked in and i figured i'd better just go ahead and download it now as i will no doubt be forced to play this for the tourists sooner or later

he is still like some vile British public school James Murphy

Dear god, I have to witness this fool playing live at the UCL summer ball.
Not only that, but there's a funky house DJ ("Stevie B") on the line up also.

Calvin Harris is trying to ingratiate himself to ILM now!

Calvin Harris has described the state of music in the charts over the past couple of years as 'very depressing'.

The Scottish dance star said the number of guitar bands in recent times had been 'boring'.

Calvin Harris was speaking as he missed out on the award for Best Contemporary Song at the Ivor Novellos.

Harris said: "Things got very depressing, things got very boring with indie band after indie band - it became known as indie-landfill."

Charts change

"There's no more accurate description for the state that music was in," he continued.

Harris and Dizzee Rascal were attending the awards held at London's Grosvenor House Hotel but missed out to Elbow in the category of Best Contemporary Song.

Commenting on an apparent increase in dance music Harris said: "I think people have just realised they just want to have fun for a while.

"I think the summer's coming around…we're in a recession people want to have fun, people want to forget about their worries.

"They want to listen to Bonkers, they want to listen to the new Basement Jaxx single and I think that's a good thing, I love happy music."

Calvin Harris will spend the summer playing festivals including Glastonbury, T In The Park and Creamfields.

funny thing is, his music is just as boring as the shitty "indie" bands he slags off.

i think we can all agree that if Calvin Harris and all those indie-landfill bands stopped making music and just buggered off then the charts would be better.

no we don't!

calvin is grebt and otm. fucking elbow.

both suck and should bugger off

it's not my fault the bluebells split up!

that wouldve been in your favour!

heh!

Calvin is having a Twitter meltdown moment: http://twitter.com/calvinharris

THIS ENTIRE INDUSTRY IS FULL OF RICH PEOPLES KIDS, EVERYWHERE, FUCKING RICH PEOPLES KIDS RICH PEOPLES KIDS

(Continues in this vein for quite some time)

All inspired by this review: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/aug/07/calvin-harris-cd-review

BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING RICH PEOPLES KIDS there are people who will like the album who wont get the album because they saw a shit review

It's a slightly better lyric than I GET ALL THE GIRLS I GET ALL THE GIRLS, I suppose.

AP (for it is he!) responding at http://twitter.com/alexispetridis

Or maybe CH is sticking it to Gavin Martin in equal measure: http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/the-ticket/2009/08/album-of-the-week-calvin-harri.html

I don't think Gavin Martin has been called a "kid" since 1978

RICH PEOPLES KIDS GETTING GOOD REVIEWS BECAUSE MUMMY FUCKED THE JOURNO IN THE 80S

Might want to ruminate on this given that a strong majority of music journos are in their 20s or 30s

Right, I misunderstood, who is he referring to?

Wow, that Petriedes article is one of the best things I think I've ever read of his. I mean that totally without irony.

So basically, Harris' angst about that article boils down to "wah wah wah, Alexis Petriedes is smarter and better educated than I am" - WOW, that must *really* hurt.

Credit where credit's due, I think everyone gave that album two stars, not just Petridis.

Now clarified: "that wasn't about @alexispetridis' review by the way, his came as no surprise."

there are people who will like the album who wont get the album because they saw a shit review

lol

FUCKING JOURNALISTS GIVING PEOPLE SHIT REVIEWS

AND SLEEPING WITH WOMEN IN THE PAST

Which jobbing indie band's parents would you travel back in time to have sex with?

"Gay Dad" indeed

"Come tweet wiv me"

Been digging his tweets immensely. Thanks Mike!

I've got love for you unless your mum fucked a journo in the 80s, the 80s

I wonder what you guys would be saying had you been around for La Bouche, The Real McCoy and Captain Hollywood Project

(although "Feel So Close" is pretty much terrible)

iirc my thoughts on all this stuff at the time was "when are they playing Coolio again?"

I fux w/ "Sweet Dreams" and "Another Night" (tho I always thought this sounded like a Coke jingle) and maaaaaaaaaaayyyybe "Be My Lover" tho

i can't figure out if la bouche and the real mccoy are supposed to really be a defense of this (or anything)

it's more, people are having this hysterical overreaction to this dude as if he's some brand new circle of awful hell rather than someone who is pretty clearly operating in a paradigm that's been sending hits to the charts for 20 years

it's basically "look, we survived Robert Miles, we will survive this too, just relax"

"look, we survived Robert Miles, we will survive this too, just relax"

I immediately vote for this as the replacement slogan for "Keep Calm and Carry On"

fuck you Dan, "Children" is a classic *takes ball and goes home*

lol

I mean, in the interest of full disclosure I never understood why everyone despised "Children" either but Miles such a good stand-in for "commercially successful dance dude that dance people seem to hate with terrifying and unhealthy fervor"

it's basically "look, we survived Robert Miles, we will survive this too, just relax"

Dan obviously doesn't remember the mass group suicides of the 90s.

i loved "children" and "one & one"
