A cowboy, a trombone and a little Lorde...and the cows will come a-callin'!

When Lorde made her Coachella debut over the weekend, the experience was mind-blowing for the 17-year-old New Zealand native.

Take a good pop song. Have one of your fave 90s alt bands cover it. You get Local H covering the ridiculously huge Lorde hit "Team". Sometimes louder IS better.

Last week's Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (which doesn't air until May 31) sounded like it may be worth the wait. Nirvana were joined onstage by two different female artists. Joan Jett for a performance of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Lorde for "All Apologies". Limited video has been released online and can be seen here.

If you've been keeping score at home, rock 'n' roll journeyman Bruce Springsteen has been covering songs by artists whose home countries he's been playing in lately. So over the past couple weeks, we've gotten Bossified versions of AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' and the Bee Gees' 'Stayin' Alive' in Australia that vary in their levels of tolerance.

Kiwi sensation Lorde keeps plugging her debut album Pure Heroine on every media outlet known to man. Good thing she sounds just a good live as she does on the radio.

What were you doing when you were 16? Were you an internet sensation that involved into a chart topping international radio star? Lorde proves with these live performances that she's no flash in the pan. Check it out.
