I (Heart) Major Lazer





We all Know and Love Major Lazer, but unlike most, I just can't get over them.  Above is the BBC Radio 1 essential Mix. Below is The Pon De Floor Video. Now  read the Wiki background blurb if you don't know, and catch you ass up.


"Major Lazer is a fictional animated character,[1] who (according to press releases) fought as a Jamaican commando and lost his arm in a secret zombie war in 1984.[2] He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket-powered hoverboard.
Made up of DJs Diplo and Switch, the two were introduced after working with M.I.A.. The duo's first album, Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do was released on June 16, 2009 on Downtown Records. It was recorded in Jamaica at Tuff Gong Studios. Vocalists such as Santigold, Vybz Kartel, Ward 21, Busy Signal, Nina Sky, Amanda Blank, Mr. Vegas, Turbulence, Mapei, T.O.K, Prince Zimboo, Leftside and others contribute guest vocals to the album, as well as additional production from Afrojack and Crookers. [3] This is the first release to come out of the label partnership between Downtown Records and Diplo's label Mad Decent. [4]
Major Lazer ended a US tour last summer.[5] The album's first single was "Hold the Line", the video for which, directed by Ferry Gouw, was nominated for a MTV Video Award in the Breakthrough Video category. The track "Zumbi" has a music video that features comedian Andy Milonakis.[6] Music videos for the songs "Pon de Floor" and "Keep It Going Louder" were both directed by Eric Wareheim."

NOW STOP SLEEPING, and love this album, or like a couple married for 25 years, take this album to counseling and fall in love all over again.
