Man, I’m slow on the uptake on occasion. Everybody has blogged about Calvin Harris’ epic electro-disco CD I Created Disco, and everyone hyped me on it so much that I didn’t really give it any credit for being good. Then I started to realize that I’d been hearing touches of it everywhere — “Acceptable In The ’80s” was on a mixtape someone gave me, then my friend Joe from Each Note Secure kept dropping these hints about how awesome it was. Like the nay-saying poo-poo making indie cone squabs I tell people I can’t stand (you know, the kind who you mention a band to and, even though they’ve never heard the band, they go, “Wow, yeah their music sucks”), I glassed this release so hard for no reason and I admit it. Now, I’m hopelessly addicted. It’s so much fun, it might be illegal somewhere.
Sure, it sounds a bit like LCD Soundsystem and Daft Punk and awesome house music and some other stuff, but every track on the record is so banging that I can’t sleep on it or on Calvin any longer. Calvin Harris is a bit of a ginger beard as well, not unlike yours truly, which should be the suffice-if-to-say hook for me. He’s just finished a new album for perennial-reinventor Kylie Minogue and I, for one, can’t wait to hear it.
Calvin, if you’re out there, grant us an interview will you, lad? Or, you know, just come kick it with us.
