I don't know how it all went
down for you guys, but I feel as if this week took an eternity and a half to
end. So, because of the overly lame, prolonged experience I shifted my
ramble on the glorious Calvin Harris from Monday to today in order to end
the week with a much needed dose of super excitement. That's right,
super excitement. It's pretty much the only reaction that the 23
year old Scottish phenom is capable of generating throughout the course of
his amazingly fun debut for Almost Gold Recordings, I Created Disco.
If you can somehow manage to resist doing some serious ass shaking to this,
at least take a second to marvel at the fact that Calvin made the album in
his bedroom on an old Amiga computer. Enjoy.
:Calvin
Harris - Acceptable In The 80s:
"My tunes aren't suppose to invoke deep thought within people; they're just
to get you dancing." Well, there is nothing in this gem that mentally
takes away from the overwhelming physical need to spastically move my hips,
so I'm going to say that Calvin is a man true to his word. Though, you
could place lyrics that detail the meaning of life in this and it still
wouldn't spur any sort of critical thinking; the sugary sweet synths are
just too fun to ignore.
This video is
for The Girls, which is one of my favorite songs on
the album. It's a real guilty pleasure kind of track
and the quirky synchronized dancing amongst the ladies in
the piece works brilliantly. Feel free to assimilate
all the dance moves.
