cheers Egg_, yeah definitely heard this before.
And I absolutely detest it.
Personally I find this type of music dead inside and to be completely disposable but without any sort of non-robotic hook.

there's nothing charming or touching about it.
It sounds like an ad for M&S or something

Haha obvs I disagree. There's lots of pop music I despise, but this song fills me with giddy joy

Do you have some sort of emotional relation to it / it reminds you of someone / somewhere / something or is it purely a musical delight for you?

"Adam Richard Wiles (born 17 January 1984), known professionally as Calvin Harris"

He could have called himself Dick Willies.
That's a cool name.

I do indeed, well spotted

... I think I might like it even without that though? I should learn it to see what it is about it that I like, often it's only when I learn a song I realise how good it is

they were 20 years too early for the wolfe tones..

I had offer of a ticket for 2005, but didnt go. that's the closest I ever got to going to EP

Anyway Calvin Harris is a total ageist POS who only likes people that were born in the 80's.

I've got love for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I'll do things for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80s

Eat shit "Calvin"

The 2004 was a one day event I remember super furry animals and Jurassic 5 played

2005 was over two days and then the rest were all three day festivals

My birthday usually fell on the same weekend so more often than not went turbo on the fuel.

Think i went to the first 5 or so EPs before camping ant Irish festivals became shit in stark contrast to the likes of ATP festivals. And before ATP were finished I had started going to primavera sound in barcelona for about 5 or 6 years in a row.

Been to one or two EPs since but it had just gotten too big and become really unenjoyable and full of dickheads

I agree that it's way too big now. Still had fun at it the last couple of times I was there (2018 and 2022), but the crowds/noise can be overwhelming, esp at night
