Hard News: Event Season, in reply to BenWilson,
Not everyone is a farmer, but the seasons are still important to pretty much everyone.
Our familiar 4 seasons are particular to temperate latitudes. Farmers in tropical climates may raise several crops per year, and are more interested in when rainfall is abundant. Farmers in high latitudes have to deal with a winter that lasts most of the year.
Regarding calendars, it's impossible to fit lunar cycles exactly within the solar cycle, and any calendar which respects both is a mathematical compromise.

Revealing interview with Ella (5min vid).
Waiting for her cowboy hat! She's very collected and very charming.

a better design for a 100MW fusion reactor
This would be a fission reactor.

consequence free should not be an excuse for wanton character assassination. And that is EXACTLY what has occurred here.
Yes, this is what Sweetman tried to do to Lorde. And he is reaping the consequences.

Lorde's talent endorsed by a fairly big name .

Hard News: Moving on, in reply to Chris Waugh,
At least we’ve still got PAS to keep us informed.
Time to have another whip-round, Russell?

Hard News: Friday Music: History, motherfuckers, in reply to John Russell,
My current rule of thumb when reading his work is (literally, this is true) to assume that he is 100% wrong. I hadn’t actually heard any Lorde tracks, but after reading this PA piece about his review, my genuine reaction was “Oh, Sweetman hates it? It’s probably good.” So I got the EP, and yeah, of course, it’s fantastic. Royals has been stuck in my head for the last day or so.
So, thanks for that, Simon. Turns out that if you’re know a signpost will be wrong, it can still guide you home.
Heh. Word. :-)

Oh hell. So sorry to hear that Russell, and all the other folk who made Media 3 so smart and awesome.
I hope for most excellent projects for you all. And a government that values us enough to reinstate public-interest broadcasting.

It’s quite a high-stakes thing to be doing
I really love how much she can do with a low-key delivery. The comparison to Bjork stands up, I think.

Lorde a few hours ago on Later With Jools Holland:
She has presence.
She did great! Perhaps a little hesitant at the start, but she owned it!
