+Have you ever wondered what Lorde sounds like on a bad day? The singer shared a clip of “Lost Boys,” a track that hit the cutting-room floor on Tumblr and said the reason that she tossed it was that “it was not a good song, I promise, haha.” We beg to differ...

Advice of the Day:

"Somebody asked me, 'How did you start doing comedy?' and I was like, 'By being unintentionally funny.' I think making a movie or a record, the best things happen by accident — and those end up being the magic. Every time I've followed my gut, it's been better than when I've tried to do what I was supposed to do." - Zooey Deschanel
