Yeh Calvin, I'm deffo ready for the weekend my love.

Calvin oh how you surprised me...... After stupidly thinking Calvin Harris and Mark Ronson were brothers

for god knows how many months, I came to the realization that Calvin's album 'Ready For the Weekend' was in fact  a decent listen. Little bit of electro, little bit of dance, mixing it up are we Calvin?! Realising now that I am massively overusing his name....... OK one last time CALVIN!!

My favourite song on the album has always been Flashback, but sat here on one of my many train journeys now listening to it, I've got a feel for 5iliconeater.. Christ knows how you say that, I'm not going to try as we'll end up with another Deadmau5 situation, unnecessary "5"'s aren't the way forward. Buy anyway I like this song for different reasons, its quite misplaced in the album - everything is quite upbeat, stuff you can dance to.. but this oddly named song is very mellow and chilled. Is it.... wait I'll just check........yep its the last song on the album, bit of a come down from the rest of the songs. Good thinking batman, how thoughtful of you.

Flashback simply reminds me of college, me and my friend buzzzeedd our shiny little faces off to this song when it first came out, I saw him on t4 at the beach on telly and thought hmmm i'm not feeling it Calves. But seeing him at V Festival last summer was one of the best gigs I've been to (and we're excluding KOL, Peaches, Kasabian etcccc here)! Dancing with the girls, and by girls I mean my friends - not my boobs! - to his set was dare I say it quite electric! Like a toned down David Guetta the crowd were jumping, hands were definitely in the air and I randomly knew all the words (INSERT APPLAUDS HERE, THANKYOU PLEASE) So did everyone though, this feel good album got everyone in the mood for a dance. I remember him starting with Ready For The Weekend; always a classic; and people cheered like there was no tomorrow.

Stars come out; I like. But I'll be honest that I like it mainly for the chorus of the song when the high pitched voice sings "We can watch the stars come out, find out what we like about, everyone without a doubt". Its another shower classic when you're getting ready..............but so is "You used to hold me". Oh this album is hard to analyse and critique; just going to go with a sweeping opinion that says the whole album is good! Apart from one song which I wasn't going to mention to be polite but I'm going to have to now..argh I feel bad... its "Worst Day".....The lyrics ready "Today is the worst day of my life" - never would I sing "This is the the worst day of my life" in an upbeat manner to this song, how ridiculous!

Lets not end on a bad note though, Album - good, Live - very good. Calvin - good looking. See what I did there? Hope you've had a good weekend, mine has been bloody brilliant :) Signing off on the train, sporting a very new hairstyle which I can't wait to shock my friend with tonight over an ever romantic, non sexual dinner date.
