Listen to Calvin’s music, it’ll cheer you up
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 28 May 2009
Calvin Harris reckons a depressed Britain needs more dance music to cheer it up. He’s slightly biased of course, I mean, I reckon that what depressed Britain really needs is more insightful and occasionally irreverent music news – that’d sort everyone out. But for Harris dance music is the solution.
To be fair, what Harris was saying is that a depressed nation would be better off listening to cheerful dancey songs rather than angsty indie rock. Speaking to the Beeb, Harris said: “Things [in the charts] got very depressing, things got very boring with indie band after indie band – it became known as indie-landfill. There’s no more accurate description for the state that music was in. I think people have just realised they just want to have fun for a while. I think the summer’s coming around… we’re in a recession, people want to have fun, people want to forget about their worries. I love happy music”.
