On-Stage Proposal At Calvin Harris Gig

Calvin Harris posted the following bulletin to fans on his Myspace on Saturday (September 29):

I’ve to take 8 penicillin a day…

…for those that asked how I am! Thanks for your concern!
p.s anyone who was at the gig tonight, apologies, I did my best, I am aware it wasn’t amazing but I’m sure you’ll understand… at least it was free eh? And The Errors were really good.
Anyway a dude proposed to his girlfriend on stage tonight, it was genius, he chucked his phone at me, I caught it (hooray!) and he’d texted ‘I want to propose to my girlfriend tonight’ so I got the dude on stage and she said yes! Amazing. More of them please.

Calvin Harris Fuming Over London Gig’s Technical Snafus

Calvin Harris posted a bulletin for his Myspace friends on Sunday (September 9). He writes:

Just did that Trafalgar Square gig, feeling like a chump

What’s the point of having a support act if nobody can actually hear you out front? Fu**ing shocking. Reminded me of when we supported Faithless. I’ve never understood why there has to be some kind of hierarchy with these things, everyone’s there to have a good time and dance to some music, why bother asking us to play if you’re gonna treat us like idiots?

This is nothing against the Chemical Brothers, I love them and they are fu**ing amazing, but I would absolutely love to set the organizers on fire. And Erol Alkan ended up not being able to play because the organizers FORGOT HE NEEDED DECKS as he is a DJ. Fu**ing tools.

On a train. Eating cocktail sausages.

Party went well last night! Was very surreal but fun…!
More surreal though, was ‘Something For The Weekend’ which I did this morning… it was sort of like a cooler Richard and Judy?! Anyway I got to eat a lot of nice food there so that was good. I don’t know why i think anyone will be interested in this, but I’m kinda passing the time…

p.s Merrymaking and Wild Scenes are out tomorrow!

EXCITING!

Hope you’re all well

Party Responsibly: A Guide By Calvin Harris

Calvin Harris posted the following message to fans on his blog at Myspace on Wednesday (August 8):

Hello there, well alot has been made of my attempt to get into the record books with my amazing party extravaganza (that’s what i’m calling it nowadays) on August 18th, including various sections of the media outing me as a ‘hate figure for parents’ which i was trying to keep a secret as i know i have a huge parental fanbase.

That aside, it was suggested that i provide a helpful video blog to set out some key points you should remember when planning your party.

So in order to do this, i nicked my Dad’s car, and during my joyride* i took some time out to explain how to party in a responsible manner.

However, i forgot all of the main points bar one, and ended up rambling for about 4 minutes.

Enjoy

Calvin Harris Takes Heat For House Party Contests

Calvin Harris posted the following bulletin to his fans on Myspace on Tuesday (August 7):

Yesterday was pretty funny really, was on the BBC News for being an alleged ‘hate figure for parents’ because apparently i am encouraging you all to trash your mum’s house…!

Its this house party thing I’m doing, if you don’t know what I’m on about have a look at www.calvinharris.co.uk/merrymakingatyourplace and that should explain all.

GMTV wanted me to go on this morning to answer various probing mumsy questions but the label thought it would be a bad idea as i would be unable to cope with Ben Shepard’s tough line of questioning, which is a shame as that would have been a life ambition fulfilled.

Anyway, they want me to do a video blog explaining how to ‘party responsibly’ in a most patronizing tone, because apparently you don’t know that its a REALLY stupid idea to invite people you don’t know into your house for a party because i can GUARANTEE they will be pissing on your sofas and shi**ing in your cupboards within 5 minutes.

Trust me.

So you can expect that video tomorrow, it should be a good one!

Hope you’re all well

Calvin Harris On Working With The Mitchell Brothers

Calvin Harris checked with a Myspace bulletin to fans on Sunday (July 28). He writes:

Ah it was an eventful night…
Alright, how are you?
Last night was nice, went to see The Mitchell Brothers at the ABC and they gave me this t-shirt:
[Note: picture at Photobucket has since been removed]

Absolute legends the pair of them, and for those who don’t know, I’ve produced their new single ‘Michael Jackson’ which is out SOON and will be on one of our MySpace pages at some point in the near future… just not yet…!

Then I had a really sh** dinner, don’t ask me why, but I thought crab claws were a good idea… It was a really really sh** idea….

Then we went to see Ben Westbeech at the Classic Grand, which was awesome, especially the last 15 minutes in which he went into crazy drum n bass warp speed mental-zone… it was really good.

THEN I got locked out of my girlfriend’s flat and had to stay at Rikki Stixxx’s place, which turned out to be a lot of fun as I got to sleep on an airbed…

hmm.

Good good times!

Calvin x
