They say Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arms in the
secret zombie wars of ’84 and had them replaced by Lazers. It’s the
perfect backyard barbecue album where Diplo and Switch and all the MCs
would hang out. I would be the whitest person there and get all
uncomfortable and drink myself into a stupor in the corner, working up
the courage to say something to Santigold, even though it would come
out: “Hey, oh my god, did you date Trevor Andrew? I had a beer with him
once at the Dome, like 10 years ago,” and then I’d pass out and the
most awesome dancehall party the world has ever seen would happen
around me while I was in the fetal position under a picnic table.
