Album review : Calvin Harris - 'Ready For The Weekend'

An enjoyable, if somewhat lightweight, return for everyone's favourite tweeter

You should like Calvin Harris . You should let him fill your Twitter feed with reviews of crisp flavours and random outbursts of “Vanessa Feltz!” You should like the fact he says he started making music aged 15 on a Commodore Amiga – the greatest home computer of the 1990s! – when at the same age I was trying to complete the notoriously tricky snow mountain stage on Lemmings.

Calvin Harris - Ready For The Weekend: Wikipedia Album Entry

Ready for the Weekend is an album by Scottish Electronic musician Calvin Harris. It is his second. It was first released in Australia on August 14, 2009 and was released on August 17, 2009 in the United Kingdom.

Harris had been working on the album since the release of his first album, I Created Disco, with the first tracks being recorded in 2008. On 3 April 2008, Harris stated that the only existing copy of his upcoming album work was lost when his laptop was misplaced during the baggage handling problems at the opening of London Heathrow Terminal 5. He later stated on the BBC's Glastonbury Festival 2008 coverage that he got his baggage back including the album within a few days. Harris recently admitted however that this was an "untruth" as the album was not in his luggage at all, and that he hoped the lie would buy him some more time to finish recording the LP.

She's the kinda girl that follows with the weather
And the sun brings out her sex appeal
