Calvin Harris checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Thursday (June 26). The British electro pop singer and producer writes, “On the subject of Kiss, I found out that they ‘fu**ing hate me’ this week… literally the ENTIRE station. I don’t know what I did, but it doesn’t feel good to be hated by an entire radio station, usually it’s just people, or at worst, groups of people, but a radio station is definitely the next level. I mean to the extent that they wouldn’t play Dizzee’s tune because I produced it. Should I send them a card or something? Anything I do will only make them hate me more, I’m sure of it. It’s doubly a shame because I quite like them. Anyway, they’re playing it now, so fu** it.”
It isn’t just the London hip hop station that has an issue with Calvin. “Another entire organization which loathes me is the NME,” Harris writes. “Despite a decent album review (7/10) they use my name for something that’s synonymous with ‘sh**’ ALL the time! Like ‘well this is bad, but at least it’s not as bad as that lanky cretin Calvin Harris and his shi**y music’. That’s not a direct quote, but you get the idea.” Read more.
