Nme - Harris Applies For Nme Job

Scottish DJ CALVIN HARRIS has become the latest star to hit out at British music magazine NME - poking fun at the publication's spelling and grammar in a fake job application.

Superproducer Mark Ronson recently lashed out at NME bosses and branded the people who work there "morons" following the publication's scathing review of his recent performance at English music festival Glastonbury.

Now Harris has waded into the argument, stating that he objects to the publication's choice to make his name "synonymous with s**t. ALL the time!"

Harris also went one step further, sending a cheeky email to magazine chiefs after spotting a job advertisement looking for a reporter for the magazine.

He writes on his MySpace.com internet page, "A couple of days ago when I got home after a few shandys, I saw they were advertising for new staff writers, so I decided to apply, to try to even out the balance of opinion on my music. Here's the email I sent them: 'Hiya, can I have the NME reporter job please? I think I'd be really great.

"My cousin once shared a bong with Petey DoCher's from Babyshambles's's. I love you, Calvin xxxx.'

"But imagine my delight when I received this response: 'Thank you for your application for the News Reporter job at NME. We hope to be in touch in due course.' Superb! I'd be lying if I said I didn't think I was in with a shout."
