Play By Ear: Playlist with Major Lazer

by Abigail Bruley

Major Lazer is the dirty G.I. Joe, so dirty he could never exist in the flesh, but rather as a pummeling vision of ink and color. Lazer lost his arms in a secret Zombie War only to have them replaced by lazers, killing everyone that's gets in his path with his funky, dancehall blaze. His interests include ragga, pre-digital sounds, and, of course, killing people. Who better to ask for his summer's playlist than the Jamaican money-south warrior himself?
