Tuftsmania besties, Midnight Juggernauts are finally back. After an amazing LP release with “Dystopia”, they’ve regrouped and after months of wrangling synths, are ready to grace the music world with yet another brilliant upcoming release.
Here’s a taste of what’s to come, and when I say they’re back, THEY.ARE.BACK. We heard the amazing “Intergalactic Outer Space” vibe with their previous work, and it might have just been tuned to perfection with this one. I even heard they recorded their vocals in a soundbooth on the ISS. (no, I didn’t. that was a lie.)

Do people still use myspace? should I just link to artists’ twitter pages now?

The boys from another planet in another galaxy (Midnight Juggernauts) have another album on the horizon and I can’t wait. Has anyone heard any demos? I haven’t. Or have I? (I haven’t, for shame…. send me some!)
I can tell you one thing, it is going to be mad, so let’s get this hype ball rolling. Eat it up sirs and bitchessss.

MSTRKRFT, Soulwax, Midnight Juggernauts… it seems like anything these guys remix has high replay value –even if the original track sucked.
Proof:
Usher – Love in this club (MSTRKRFT ‘picks up the pieces’ remix)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
– The original made me break my speakers –had to go out and purchase new ones in order to listen to the MSTRKRFT remix. The remix made me feel less pissed off at the original version.
LCD Soundsystem – Get Innocuous (Soulwax ‘what they should have done’ remix)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
– The original was minimal, shitty, and it put me to sleep. The Soulwax remix remains along the same vein –except it’s minimal, awesome, and keeps me awake. very important. (i’m really down with minimal, actually. Just not when it sucks.)
***CSS – Left Behind (midnight juggernauts ‘all we have to do is look at it’ remix)***
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
– I have only listened to CSS remixes. I am pretty sure their original tracks don’t even exist.
***the stars mean you should listen to it more than once. many times. and it’s not that shitty transcode that’s been floating around.
This is my challenge: to MSTRKRFT, Soulwax, Midnight Juggernauts, and anyone else….
MAKE KANYE WEST’S LATEST VOCODERED FUCK UP OF A TRACK UN-SUCK. Is this track not salvageable in any way?
I haven’t found one yet. I’ve heard them all up until right now so…. still no. we need some MIDAS-style touching up in here.
itunes: how do YOU use it?

For soooo long I’d been reluctant in allowing iTunes to ‘take over my computer, brain, life, body’ aka: ‘organize’ my music folders. More than a year ago, I was somehow compelled to try this inbuilt feature that had been overlooked for so many years.
I selected “copy to library when adding to itunes” and “let itunes manage my music”.
This changed my life completely. No longer was I spending hours scrambling to rename, refile, and sort through folder upon folder of music files. I simply opened the file in iTunes, corrected any tags needing it, and iTunes subsequently filed the music away based on tag information.
Now with the the volume of music that I get through this website alone, it’s a task in itself keeping everything organized.
- First it’s the “I don’t give a shit about sending you a properly tagged file” problem.
- Then it’s the, “I’m going to send you every revision of my remix from beta 0.0002 to RC3 GLD MSTR CPY”.
>>>>>>>FUCK U GUYS
I also have a ’smart playlist’ for all my recently added tracks –it’s the ‘inbox’ playlist. This thing gets SO saturated and backed up with shit that there’s just no way. That’s it, just no way Jose.
Which brings me to why I even bothered to write this much: I was briefly sorting through this playlist today trying to delete bad songs, duplicates, low bitrate pieces of digital rubbish (stop sending low bitrate please), etc etc. and I came across something that nearly slipped through the cracks:
Midnight Juggernauts – Dystopia (turkish prison rmx) (right click, save as)

Yeah, I know it’s another Midnight Juggernauts remix, but that’s exactly it. It’s another Midnight Juggernauts remix. listen to the session-y bassline! (fucking awesome) (it seriously is so good) (totally serious)
I imported my copy of Dystopia from the AUS release, and apparently this remix came from the US domestic version as a bonus track.
Hey –Midnight Juggernauts: come play a show at my house and I’ll invite my parents and their friends!! (seriously)
ps: omggg, we’re seriously on so many social networking sites. facebook, twitter, myspace, hypem (weaksauce), last.fm. gotta add them all… LIKE POKEMON!!
Such a shame…(updated links)

My trusty steed of 4+ years has finally failed me. The backlight or inverter on my 17″ Powerbook finally gave out and I’m left with a gimpy computer through which I cannot see the cyber world. I have finally gotten around to hooking up an external monitor and getting back to my normal daily grind.
This happened just after vacation which would explain the insane delay in content between now and my last post.
Hello everyone, I’m still here.
Lately I’ve been getting down to fat and funky basslines and Lovelock from NY has been kicking out the jams. Word up to Aleks from the discodust for uncovering this gem. (ps: let’s start more mailing lists please)
listen for the awesome synth keyboarding:
Lovelock – Maybe Tonight

Speaking of funky bass lines, Fred Falke has been making his rounds in the blog world lately. This balding, stiff looking french man may be awkward in real life, but he brings the funk. The collaboration of Fred Falke’s fret burning bass skills and Miami Horror’s nostalgic synth stabs is heaven when added to Pnau’s “Embrace”.

Finally what post on this website would be complete without a track by Midnight Juggernauts? Arguably one of my favorite bands in Australia (possibly the world) right now.
Gearing up for their new single release, come a slew of remixes for “Into the Galaxy”. Also a really dope dope dope dope (more dope) video:
It has been established that the “big gay australian circle jerk” phenomenon exists, however, Paris is destined to break the trend. Chateau Marmont (not to be confused with Chateau Marmont –my new residence) added a much needed parisian twist to this track (next next level blog music inbreeding). Anyway, fuck typing all this, just listen.

I just finished sifting through a shit ton of emails, and I’m pleased to say that quite a few things made my ears and eyes happy. Stay tuned.
ps: does anyone out there at Apple want to gift me a macbook pro? I’d really like that.
pps: i heard you can get free and steezy sunglasses that will instantly increase your street cred at glahsez.
