Researchers then produced an insulated water bottle and asked how much of the $10 the participants were getting paid they'd be willing to give up in exchange for the bottle. People who had seen the Great Barrier Reef video agreed to pay on average about 50 cents. People in the group that had been primed to feel sad offered up four times that price, more than...

...wielding thirst for bimbo blood. “The Nun’s Litany,” a bouncing bit of angelic gloss, elaborates on the various (and explicit) ways a woman of the cloth wishes to violate her vows to spite her mother. “Zombie Boy,” a silly shot at sinister post-punk, features Merritt courting an undead paramour.Aside from the perennial envelope pushing, “Distortion” boasts quite a few otherwise solid tunes. “Old Fools” finds Merritt lamenting the past and regretting the future...
