Who rocks the data?

I have recently developed a strong crush on Norway's Datarock. Although apparently they've already been written about on many blogs that I love, I'm just getting ear of it. Sometimes it's just too hard to keep up. But back to Datarock... upon first listen of "Fa-Fa-Fa", I was convinced that Talking Heads' David Byrne had gotten together with ESG or maybe The Rapture and created a side project to blow our minds. Don't support the Byrne reference? Then listen to "Sex Me Up". The songs are wonderfully catchy and sometimes funny on top of the fun (i.e. "Nightflight To Uranus"... the song title initiates a childish giggle in me). I'm really looking forward to hearing more of Datarock.
Listen:
Fa-Fa-Fa
Fa-Fa-Fa (Fa-Fa-Fast & Furious Discomix)
Sex Me Up
Princess (Morgan Z Remix)
Nightflight To Uranus
Watch:
Both this song and video are adorably cute, especially for us geeks. The twist of Grease's "Summer Nights" lyrics into a nerdy computer camp love story is genius.
