Calvin Harris Party People









CRED and CRED

Let's talk about how last night's Mercury Lounge Calvin Harris show was redonk. It reminded me of Jamie T, LCD Soundsystem and Daft Punk rolled into one. From the get-go he dropped crazy infectious beats that didn't let up until the end (which was encoreless, sad). The people showed up prepared and knew all the lyrics and more importantly, knew to shake their asses to good music. I appreciate that. In between songs, Calvin offered up some hilarious little bits. (and if you weren't there, make sure to check out his super funny myspace page to experience a dose of his humor). He played his entire album, I Created Disco, and my favorites were probably "This Is The Industry", "The Girls" (love it when he says "I like them Asian girls"...I went nuts), and "Vegas". It was amazing to see people packed like sardines in Mercury, dancing and singing their asses off. Hope he comes back soon. I haven't had this much fun at a show since Daft Punk at Keyspan.
