Yeah, I don't get all that much out of Loveless either. And yeah, I'd mark Citrus as the best shoegaze album of all time, too. If you're into the poppier side of shoegaze, I hope you're also into bands like The Radio Dept, Mixtapes and Cellmates, etc. Basically everything out of Sweden. I'm gonna guess you haven't heard this song, but it'll crush you (crank it up high):

In reply to this comment by JAPR:
Everybody's got their own favorites, I suppose. I love the hook at the end of the verse, the dual vocals in the chorus, and the lyrics a lot. There's a lot of really, really good songs like this one on that album though. They're really at the poppy end of shoegaze, but Citrus has to be my favorite shoegaze album ever. (Yeah I know Loveless is amazing and highly-rated, but it's just not as addictive, imo.)

Really? I've always considered this to be one of the more mediocre songs (save the instrumental hook towards the end). I've been a total fanboy since Asobi Seksu quoted me in their press release for this album

Nancy Grace Cleverly Mocked in a Short HBO Film

I honestly don't see what's so funny about this clip and how it got voted so high. Maybe I'm losing touch with kids these days, but a website edited a video to replace shots of Paris Hilton with animals fucking. There's nothing original or clever about that. I don't even know where the HBO thing comes from. Videosift is sinking to new lows.

Somebody bring me my tea.

The Monty Hall Problem

charlatantric says...

Actually, everyone is wrong. The correct answer is: not enough information.

If the host prefaces that he will open one of the other doors to reveal a goat once you choose one of the doors, then the monty hall dilemma holds true. However, we are not provided with this underlying assumption and need to call into question the motivation behind the host's actions. For all we know, if you choose a goat door, they reveal it right away and you lose. Meanwhile, if you do pick the right door, they might be giving you a chance to lose it by giving you the option to switch.

Again, you need to be briefed on any anticipated action before the Monty Hall problem holds true. Correct answer: not enough info.

I'm studying for my LSATs, so my brain's on overdrive.

*retract: I just watched the video again. The rules imply that the host always opens a goat door. Carry on.
