We Love You Dizzee

It would not be an under- statement to say that Dizzee Rascal got the loudest roar at Creamfield 2009. The prospect of meeting Dizzee in the flesh was all too much for some of us, even the super-cool had no finger nails left by the end of the night. Anna, CALM camerawomen (pictured right), sums but the general hysteria backstage. Mr. Rascal was fashionable late but when finally reunited with the CALM crew he was more than obliging. He loves us. We love him. Pictorial evidence to follow. Watch this

The Cat that Got the Cream

Calv-Out.

Buggar. Calvin Harris jumped in his big bus and went home. Too Rainy. I bite my thumb at you, Harris.

We don't care anyway. We're holding out for the sun... and Basement Jaxx, Dizzee Rascal, 2manydjs and the sun.

And the Winner is...

At this half way mark we polled all the Creamfield crews camping out in the CALM tent. The question, which artist gave the best interview?

Laidback Luke Rocked Up Late and Sat Back Down

Juice FM reporter: "You've traveled around the world, how do English festivals compare to the rest?"

LL: "Yeah, wow... people really get wasted here"

Yes. Yes we do. Damn. Laidback just held up the international mirror of truth. Do we like what we see?

Creamfields, Day 2: Laidback Luke

Hmmm. Anyone seen Laidback Luke? No one can find the No. 46 (out of DJ mag's top 100 DJs). He's probably being all laid back somewhere. So while we wait, may I introduce Anstey, CALM team Ambassador and presenter.

David Guetta - A Daily Star Sandwich

David’s just left the polyester building. And like a Cheshire cat, all that remains is his smile. It’s all about David – in-tent debates have reached fever pitch: Is he Swedish or is he French? Swedish thinks camera person. French says photographer. And while spoil the fun with quick Wiki search, think I.

Multitasking like an octopus in an octopi brothel (oh, it’s too fecking late* for good multitasking analogies) - Guetta (pictured here with two Daily Star “journalists” – examine their Stella fueled velociraptor style interrogation approach. Not a single note pad to speak of) smiled while giving good interview – run VT here.

*Wifi left with David, hence the delay in uploading.

Filthy Dukes. Potty Mouths.

I have never seen such a mismatched bunch – just look at their differing choice in footwear. The Duke in the Hush Puppies ate one of my sweets and asked if they were clean before popping it into his mouth!

The only band today that I would like to get fucked up with.

Bad guy rating: 0/10 (funny blokes)
Differing taste in footwear: 10/10
Chances of Mr. Rabbit getting fucked up with Filthy Dukes now BBC 1 are playing their tracks: Ice cube’s change in hell!

Erol Alkan: The King of Shut-Ups

Oi! Erol! I think you were being a bit harsh when you made Simon start the interview again. He was only being nice when he called you "The King of Mashup".

I couldn't hear what the tall one was saying - maybe I blocked out his majestic chit chat because I was so affronted by his reprimanding of Simon, or maybe it was because he was quieter than a muted blasphemer of The King that had just had his tongue lanced.

Either way, managed to catch one exclusive though - he's putting a record out with Boys Noize and as if to start the vicious rumours, their union begins tonight on stage.

I have to admit, I though it was Calvin Harris.

Boys Noize

Two words. Cool and honest.

He said three things that I really like so I am not going to bother with the rest.
“Adulation is POWER. That’s good”
“I download stuff illegally. I don’t pay for it”
“I went to my first festival at 16. I played apparently”

Friendly Fires Are, Well, Friendly.

Ed: So, err, what is CALM anyway?
Jack: Yeah, is it like a Hitler youth charity or something?
CALM's Anstey: Er, no. No it's not.

PLAYe.
