Major Lazer also have a cool iPhone app, too:

iDrum: Major Lazer lets you instantly remix elements from the new album, Guns Don’t Kill People … Lazers Do, produced by dancefloor innovators Diplo and Switch along with lazer-armed commando Major Lazer. With a huge arsenal of dancehall drums, laser blasts, instrument hits, sound effects and vocal samples, iDrum: Major Lazer is the ultimate zombie-fighting accessory. Take control and re-arrange rhythms, drums, effects and more from songs on the album. Or use the raw drums, effects and instrument sounds to make your own musical creations. iDrum’s simple interface lets you build beats layer by layer by tapping the touch screen. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never made a beat before, with iDrum, you can create music with simple shapes and color combinations that let you visualize the rhythm.

Super hyped producers, Diplo & Switch, have joined forces as Major Lazer to record a thumping album called Guns Don’t Kill People, Lazer’s Do. Already responsible for pioneering the hottest ghetto sounds — including tracks for M.I.A and Santigold — the pair’s genre-mashing debut will be released in June on New York label, Downtown, home to Santigold, Spank Rock, and Kid Sister. We have an MP3 from the album, Hold The Line, available for free download in our Music Download section, which is in the third column of the Lost At E Minor site.

Limedrop

If you ever asked for a brag-worthy souvenir as a kid, only to have your dreams crushed by some play it safe relative, then chances are they brought you back a tourist tee instead. Now, it may not have cemented your status as the coolest kid in school, and you certainly couldn’t take it into show-and-tell. But by the looks of Melbourne label Limedrop, you might have been onto something. Their latest collection, Places I’ve Never Been, takes inspiration from the vintage tourist t shirts they’ve collected over the years, and the cities they aspire to visit. Slip into nomad mode wearing featherweight fabrics, and travel to faraway lands without even leaving your hood. Who knew dreaming about travel could be so fun? Read more

Thanks!

Jason said | 27 June, 2009

swalsh said | 28 June, 2009

I’ve got a couple of killer reasons and need a lazer to seal to the deal….

-Just got out of college, haven’t bought (or even been able to buy) new clothes & gear in YEARS

-Vinyl Night. Just moved to a new town and a group of friends have Vinyl Night every wednesday. People gather, spill wine, and put felt to wax. I don’t have any records to bring (yet) and Major Lazer would probably get some folks out of there seats and moving around

-Lost At E Minor has inspired me countless times since I stumbled upon your site, and I need to pass that on to others…

Hannah said | 28 June, 2009

Because I also spell las(z)er with a ‘z’

Katrina Leah said | 28 June, 2009

I need this shirt because it’s going to be zombie night in my small Halifax town real soon, and if I can’t have a real laZer to kill the undead, at least I’ll have this shirt when i get bitten and have to join the brain-hungry hordes.

Oh Lost at E Minor, continue to inspire me, my life has been so good with you in it!

Hayley said | 28 June, 2009

because then I will be able to see the future

John said | 29 June, 2009

Because it is true!

Tom said | 29 June, 2009

You give it to me or will burn your asses, because i have lasers!

Cole said | 30 June, 2009

This would really help restore my street cred. Ever since I crapped my shorts on the Cecil’s dancefloor, people just don’t respect. Help me, Major Lazer!

Tim Engelbrecht (german) said | 30 June, 2009

so i shoot things right, with guns, rabbits, foxes and other pests. there is usually blood everywhere. and when i tell people, they spit on me because i use a gun! but they don’t understand! they never understand! these narrow minded nuns on heat just don’t get that guns don’t kill people, lazers do. i think by wearing this shirt for the rest of my life it will reinforce my argument and counter those fools who have a doodle for a face! what do you say then? thanks minor. (i am also clinically obsessed with major lazer, help ease my pain)

Julie Pinzur said | 30 June, 2009

This Major Lazer shirt is amazing. I want it because it reflects the essence of my soul and lasers are always my first choice of weaponry. Besides those two reasons, t-shirts just look really good on me. Pick me!!

lachy said | 30 June, 2009

being a skinny white boy its pretty unrealistic that i’m carrying a gun around… but a lazer!
wearing this shirt would finally give me some long awaited scare factor

Allyson Rideout said | 30 June, 2009

I love jamaican musicians and the shirt looks totally cool.
Major Lazer is an awesome looking cartoon, and he looks like a
badass.

erin alvarez said | 30 June, 2009

i want this shirt because i run bartertown.
two men enter…one man leaves. with the t-shirt.

oh, and i’m a woman…but you get the point.

Luke Droulez said | 1 July, 2009

I want the prize pack because the only way to jam out to the pulsating afro-nasty beats of Major Lazer is the have the shirt. The music reminds me a wild ride through the Amazon, while the shirt reminds me of the time I was a Storm Trooper in Star Wars and the vinyl reminds me of those warm fuzzy feelings you get when the record skips.

skrogos said | 2 July, 2009

I should have it because I am actually a female vulcan and my 7 year cycle is ending soon, so I need to look attractive, yet intimidating.

Rochelle said | 2 July, 2009

My husband needs some new shirts in his collection…would love to see something new in the rotation.

Monarch are an incredibly grim, lumbering doom metal band from Basque country in France. Frontwoman Emilie Bresson is one of those rare female singers in metal that’s at once fierce and raspy, yet identifiably female, creating a haunting, menacing sound that can stand up against the most ragingly macho bands out there.

When you first see The Gershwin Hotel, you might think it’s an art gallery or a public art installation. The white, bird-like shapes sticking out of its red facade is certainly unique, without being too loud. The rooms are rather small but the location and accessible price range makes it all worth it.

The Australian film collective behind the sci-fi spoof, The Time That Time Forgot, perfectly capture the look and feel of awkward, low-budget rip-offs from the ’70s — the psychedelic lighting, bad dubbing, and amazing hair.

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.

I live the upbeat, feel good tempo of the new single — A Hundred Hearts — from Philly group, The Swimmers. Off their latest album, People Are Soft, this song is a strangely fitting anthem for the blustery day outside.
