I love music, but a lot of the chatter I’ve read about Lorde seems to focus on everything but. And I’ve kept stumbling over this one:
me and my friends were at some house party worrying how to get home because we couldn’t afford a cab. This is our reality!
Ok, fair enough everyone’s parents are too busy to give the minors a lift home, but what about her producer, who she’s obviously fairly tight with and would be expected to make a bit of dough from her success, and more to the point what about her manager who she signed with when she was 12? Why is a teenager with a manager unable to afford a cab home? Was there no advance? Stepping manufactured pop star limelight loudly bagging other fanumactured pop stars for their bullshit has a certain something I guess.

Loosely related: censorship a little closer to home:
“The OFLC decision says that the film may be ‘injurious to the public good’ if it goes out on a wider release. It’s saying that the POV nature of the film mixed with the psychopathic behaviour of actor Elijah Wood is more thandisturbing, that it’s potentially dangerous in the hands of the wrong person (that is, a non-festival goer). It’s only my opinion but I simply don’t agree with this decision,” says Incredibly Strange programmer Ant Timpson.
“I can see the thought process behind it but I think it’s rather big leap to make. I think it’s interesting to see where the OFLC draws a line on this dangerous POV material because it could also segue into a discussion about the graphically realistic and violent first-person video games,” says Timpson.

Capture: Upside Down, Inside Out, in reply to JacksonP,
It's a one hell of a trip Jackson, yes, I spent a while the other day looking at Nora's snowman cloud wondering if that was a digital effect, until - "No "chris" it's water. that's what it does, try spending a little less time in front of a computer screen".
