CALVIN'S A PRIZE TWIT; Harris in new internet Tweet rant.Byline: BEV LYONS CALVIN HARRIS is at it again. The touchy Scots dance star has thrown his toys out of his pram (1) (Phase Change RAM) Pronounced "P-ram. See phase change memory. (2) (Parameter RAM) Pronounced "P-ram." A battery-backed part of the Macintosh's memory that holds Control Panel settings and the settings for the over less-than-enthusiastic reviews for his new album Ready For The Weekend. His latest rant on social networking site A Web site that provides a virtual community for people interested in a particular subject or just to "hang out" together. Members create their own online "profile" with biographical data, pictures, likes, dislikes and any other information they choose to post. Twitter will no doubt spawn some hasty backtracking (algorithm) backtracking - A scheme for solving a series of sub-problems each of which may have multiple possible solutions and where the solution chosen for one sub-problem may affect the possible solutions of later sub-problems. once his label get wind of it - just like when he had a go at the British Phonographic Industry The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is the British record industry's trade association. Its membership comprises hundreds of music companies including all four 'major' record companies (Warner Music Group, EMI, Sony BMG, and Universal Music Group), associate members such as a couple of weeks ago. This time, Calvin has got his knickers in a twist because he thinks the negative press is caused by wealthy industry types landing jobs for their kids. He said: "This industry is full of rich people's kids. Rich people, you will not break me. I have nothing to lose. "Rich people mean nothing to me. I'm making music for real people. Real people dance, rich people stand at the back. "I've had enough of rich people's kids with their jobs as runners on TV shows or their club nights. You've done nothing." Calvin went on to explain to shocked fans just why he was so upset - and perhaps pave the way for a grovelling grov·el intr.v. grov·eled also grov·elled, grov·el·ing also grov·el·ling, grov·els also grov·els 1. To behave in a servile or demeaning manner; cringe. 2. backtrack. He said: "Imagine you just spent two years of your life making a record on your own - working long hours to get it sounding right. "Imagine the buzz of making something you love, and after two years you finally have something you can't wait for other people to hear. "Then imagine that CD landing on the desk of some snide rich person's kid or pathetic London scene-face. "Then them skipping through the tracks, saying, 'well,it's Calvin Harris, isn't it? Two stars'. 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 rich people's kids, there are people who will like the album who won't get the album because they saw a s*** review. "And I can't ignore it, sorry, but it does affect me, and it is hurtful. "I know that it is exactly what I wanted it to be, and I'm proud of it." Well, that's definitely the best way to win over those critics, Calvin. Look out for the apology coming soon. CAPTION(S): TOUCHY: Calvin hated the reviews |
