Dizzee will never top 'I Luv U'. Calvin will never top losing his laptop.

^^Hahaha

But peoples; "There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time (OH I WONDER WHY THE FUCK THERE WOULDN'T BE SNOW ON A CONTINENT THATS GOES THROUGH THE EQUATOR) Do they know its Christmas time at all?" Sorry that line always fucks me up.
I change my mind, Harris must quit but also Geldof should suffer somehow.

VeronaInTheClub, Friday, 11 July 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Don't get me started on the lyrics of Feed the World, it's disgustingly glib and misleading. And how about all that snow on the top of all the mountains in Africa?

two months pass...

thought the new single was awful, but kind of coming around to it as i'm forced to listen to it once an hour at work. funny that I first heard it and thought 'how embarrassing, this is gonna tank'. shows what i know.

i thought this was gonna be refreshed because he stopped making music.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 00:23 (fifteen years ago) link

with a number one solo single, you'd better brace for more.

autogucci cru (deej), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 00:27 (fourteen years ago) link

haha the lyrics are so dum

autogucci cru (deej), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 00:30 (fourteen years ago) link

the very first time i heard it i was convinced it was the worst piece of music i had or ever would hear

and now its just kind of average and i cant bring back those deep feelings of loathing and i don't know where they came from

Popper, Tuesday, 21 April 2009 00:46 (fourteen years ago) link

this is just classic big room superemotional dance music ...?

autogucci cru (deej), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 00:54 (fourteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Yo Deej you were right about this. Heard it on the radio yesterday. Big tune!

Tim F, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 13:59 (fourteen years ago) link

I keep trying to remember how this goes and then realise I'm thinking of "Bonkers" instead.

William Bloody Swygart, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 14:01 (fourteen years ago) link

why, why does he sing

Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Tuesday, 12 May 2009 14:06 (fourteen years ago) link

Yes this is a worthy question to ask. His vocals actually work on "Dance Wiv Me" because he's playing middling everyman, but here it's just like, can you please replace your sonky moaning with the girl from Fragma's "Toca's Miracle" so we can properly get down to business?

Tim F, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 14:25 (fourteen years ago) link

or Ian Van Dahl, he had a nice voice. very feminine...

Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Tuesday, 12 May 2009 14:51 (fourteen years ago) link

Ian Van Dahl is female.

Mark G, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 22:52 (fourteen years ago) link

deej was so right about this

man, i love collages (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 07:46 (fourteen years ago) link

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)

lex pretend, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 08:10 (fourteen years ago) link

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

kaiser, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 09:09 (fourteen years ago) link

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

messiahwannabe, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 09:46 (fourteen years ago) link

he is still like some vile British public school James Murphy

Dom P's Rusty Nuts (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 09:47 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 22 May 2009 15:13 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 22 May 2009 15:18 (fourteen years ago) link

no we don't!

calvin is grebt and otm. fucking elbow.

Dingbod Kesterson, Friday, 22 May 2009 15:19 (fourteen years ago) link

both suck and should bugger off

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 22 May 2009 15:36 (fourteen years ago) link

it's not my fault the bluebells split up!

Dingbod Kesterson, Friday, 22 May 2009 15:37 (fourteen years ago) link

that wouldve been in your favour!

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 22 May 2009 15:49 (fourteen years ago) link

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

mike t-diva, Friday, 14 August 2009 09:58 (fourteen years ago) link

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