So what's better than that? Major Lazer, a cartoon character created for some bizarre dancehall music concept project by producers Switch and Diplo. Lazer, having lost his arm in the "secret zombie war of 1984," has a laser cannon and a flying surfboard and basically goes around killing the shit out vampires, zombies, and mummies. It is the raddest fucking thing I've ever seen.

Cave Story's actually not old at all. It came out a couple years ago.

Major Lazer could be cool if the art, music, and animation weren't all absolute shit. I mean, the character designs are great, or rather, would be if drawn by talented artists.

the animation style is intentionally done in said style... if you think it looks shitty aww boo go watch transformers 2... and as far as the music goes... diplo/switch collabo on raga dancehall bangers... if those aren't your things and or you know nothing about them fair enough but no ones rippin on you reppin nickelback... except myself of course.
for an mp3 check maddecent.com
which is diplo's record label- kids kind of an entrepreneur
if can't find one there always search through the hypemachine.
this site doing music related posts is semi-retarded just cuz most of readers are hella jazzed on shitty batman/wolverine games and bad prequel flicks to nerdy shit they loved as kids... if not for the invention of the char to rep the collabo and said vid of him i don't think it'd ever be here... which is a shame... and then its not cuz i wouldnt have to read dumb comments by kids who know jack about le scene....

le scene...any time you call anything "le scene" it already lame. I hate not liking anything put up on this site, as most of it is top notch, but that major lazer cartoon was probably the WORST thing I have seen on here, mostly because it was prefeaced with "It is the raddest fucking thing I've ever seen.". But I love TR more then almost any other site, not every hit is a homerun.

I haven't heard "rad" used in a long time. Brings back memories of when I went roller skating with a comb in my back pocket.

Nickelback sucks, too. And I don't care if it was INTENTIONALLY done in a shitty style, the animation is still SHITTY.

Don't tell me what "good" music is. I KNOW what good fucking music is!!!

anyone who lists 50+ genres of music to somehow prove they know 'good' music is so far up their own ass they can't even hear music.

Beeswax: It's so easy for you to be a pissant anonymously online, isn't it?
People who know and love music tend to listen to tons of genres.

Personally what I love about Major Lazer is the animation style, it reminds me of Funkadelic album artwork. The action figures are neato too. The music is meh but works with the video and obviously not the point of the post.

does Major Lazer have a bandolier of microphones? 'Cause that's awesome.
btw, when the awesome zombie vampire guy picked up the phone both my home phone and my cell phone went off.

oh brother,
way to go. regardless of the fact that you've missed to point entirely, you're actually trying to act like you even know where the high road is.
hey zach, why dont you tell us everything else that you don't like about every other post too, because thats why i come to this website. to hear zach t complain about trivial shit.
also, i think you might be having an identity crisis or something, because writing 'zach t.' makes you too much of a badass to be here, oh grand non-anonymous one.

I loved the overlay, it worked so well.
As for the music video, I liked the animation, looks like something out of the 80s. Kind of refreshing.

Its something about typing on a keyboard that removes any sense of reasoning to some peoples thought process.

What the fuck internet? Aren't any of you geeky enough to point out that Major Lazer's bad short and the Vampire MurderTank are customized G.I. Joe vehicles? Lazer's was made from a G.I. Joe VAMP and the other was a Cobra HiSS Tank.

These are the awesome rereleases of classic Joe vehicles that you can find in stores right now, so go out and 'em!
