Midnight Juggernauts started out as a couple of blokes from Melbourne, Australia.

They first made a blip on my musical radar with their awestastic remix of Dragonette's "I get around".

Then they went and put out a gleefully bombastic blast of awesomeness called Dystopia. And now they tour with the likes of Justice, Crystal Castles, Klaxons, Holy Fuck, etc, etc.

Anyway.

They have that dirty, woozy, spiraling sound* that always makes me feel slightly drunk and stupidly ecstatic. (Or ecstatically stupid?)

Either way, it's good times. Here's "Tombstone" (the Popular Computer Remix):

I've played this song about -- oh I don't know -- five thousand billion gazillion times now? And it still has the ability to make my extremities tingle.

That's right: Extremities.

Tingling.

I know that sounds sort of rude, but have you heard this song? If you've heard this song, then you'll know exactly what I mean.

Yes, it's kind of dorky. Yes, it's all gangling, awkward angles and blatant 80s influences.

But it's sexy -- as -- hell.

Listen to the way the song appears to fade out around the 3:04 mark ... and then the way it kicks back in with that bass line?

Go on, just try and tell me that it doesn't bring on all kinds of tingling of the extremities.

You can try. I might believe you. Thousands wouldn't.

Who is Danger? The newest protégé on the so-called Nu-Disco, or French Touch, scene? (Techtonik anyone?)

And who is DatA? Who the hell knows? That's what MySpace is for!

En tout cas, and whatever the label, I am a sucker for that sound.

So sue me.
