The documentary is pretty good, if a bit long. Her parents are cool and really patient, her talented and preternaturally mature brother comes across like a 35 year old pretending to be a 20 year old. There's a really nice Justin Bieber moment. You get to see her take her driver's test.

Yeah the documentary is really good. Her boyfriend (now long ex boyfriend I assume) is a dick. I most empathised with her dad. It made me feel like teenage girls get a raw deal, even if they’re famous with seemingly very well adjusted families. It’s lovely when she meets Bieber. Orlando Bloomps is a moran.

"bury a friend" is like "black skinhead" combined with "people are strange," so that's the one

I just remembered the shuddering digital cadences in "ilomilo", it reminds me of Reich's "18 Musicians" (if that's still an acceptable namecheck). Massive track on headphones, as is much of the album.

I didn't vote, but would have gone for "When the Party's Over."
I still can't get with the muttercore vibe of most the album... for me, her best stuff came both before and after it. (kind of an interesting case, where an artist's breakthrough album doesn't really play to their strengths... though obv. it did OK for her!!)
