Calvin Harris lost his laptop @ Terminal 5, played Bowery

Apr 29, 2008, 10:28am BrooklynVegan

Scottish DJ Calvin Harris feels very let down by British Airways after the airline lost his suitcase in the recent baggage chaos at London's Heathrow airport insisting the compensation he was offered was "nothing significant". The Acceptable In The 80s star lost a bag when returning from America last month, and it contained a computer laptop storing most of his new album. Heathrow's new Terminal 5 building was immediately plunged into chaos on its opening day when problems with new baggage-handling systems left over 15,000 passengers without their luggage. And although Harris' bag was eventually found, everything in it was [...]

It Was Acceptable At the Time

Sep 19, 2007, 4:54pm Stop Okay Go

I only have three little things that I'm thinking about today: -Who thought it would be a good idea for Lou Diamond Phillips to star as King Arthur in Camelot? He's just not the first person I would think for the role. -I love sound bites, or just the notion of them, and how a single quote or line of a story is often picked up by the press, i.e., Chris Crocker saying "Leave Britney alone!" Hub and I have been laughing at how [...]

Calvin Harris plays quite a dance party (wink)

Sep 17, 2007, 3:14pm Buzz Bands: Kevin Bronson on the music scene in Los Angeles and beyond

[I'm sure fantastic photos exist from Friday's very fun activities at the Echo. None, however, turned up on my camera. Instead, here is the video for Calvin Harris' song "Acceptable in the '80s." Compare it to what was acceptable Friday at Club Underground:] There's a new indie electronic sensation every 5 minutes these days, many of them dipping into a seemingly bottomless well of Velveeta for bouncy synth lines and wink-wink humor and solemn genuflection at the altar of dance music. Because, everybody tells me every day, people [...]

Blogs: We Haven't Had A Post About Music Bloggers In A Long, Long Time

Sep 17, 2007, 3:10pm Idolator

This morning I read a lengthy, waaahmbulance-chasing post by Greg Katz, a blogger in Los Angeles who was set to go see electropop revivalist Calvin Harris (whose video for the awesome "Acceptable in the '80s" is above), and who was on the guest list for the show. As it turned out, Katz got bumped from the list at the last minute, which peeved him because he'd "blogged and spun [Harris' album I Created ] Disco relentlessly" and been "doing what [he] could to repay Calvin and Sneak Attack in blog posts and [...]

Weekend music: new Arctic Monkeys, 80s electro with Calvin Harris, New Order

Mar 23, 2007, 10:14am Hit Chaser

Check out the music video for arctic monkeys' latest guitar fueled dancefloor offering, including - this time - some cheeky backup dancers and lots [...]
