Twittergem: Calvin Harris

Hang on, Calvin Harris is off again:

Imagine you just spent 2 years of your life making a record. on your own. every single day, long hours, working to get it sounding right

imagine the buzz of making something that you love, and after 2 years you finally have something you can't wait for other people to hear

then imagine that cd landing on the desk of "snide rich persons kid" or "pathetic london scene-FACE"

then them skipping through the tracks in their lunch break, and saying "well its calvin harris isn't it? 2 stars, he's a dick head"

I'm telling you now that it doesn't feel good

but, how is it that i've been playing these songs to 20,000 people at festivals this summer, and it's gone off every single time

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

And i can't ignore it, sorry, but it does affect me, + it is hurtful, + i know that it's exactly what i wanted it to be, and i'm proud of it

I'm a little lost as to why, if Harris holds reviewers in such low esteem and has a following who enjoys his work so much, that he's bothered by what they say.

It's Alexis Petridis' review in the Guardian Film & Music which Harris has gone out of his way to draw attention to.

We're just waiting for Harris to tweet that his girlfriend is fuming and that he only reads the gig guide.

I know that feeling. You spend two years recording, rewriting, mixing, tinkering and remixing until all the feel has been produced out of the song, then a bunch of oiks book your studio for 6 hours, finish 3 songs and you take their demo home to play to all your mates.
