Great eerie, unconnected-to-the-rest-of-the-song intro on Lorde's follow-up hit, which I'm starting to like even more than "Royals."
And wasn't she awesome on the Grammy's last night?
Oddly reassuring that the poptimist position on Lorde appears to be "a bad thing". As if gaucheness, ambivalence, adolescence (real as opposed to Simulacrum), and Thorstein Veblen should have no place in pop.
