Wet music for Cynical Ben

I have a soft spot for music with emotional intelligence and maturity, just as much as I love teen punk lo-fi. Some of it would make Ben stamp on children's feet just to rebalance the emotions.

Amongst my secret pleasures are 10,000 Maniacs and the solo work of their former lead singer, Natalie Merchant.

Funniest thing ever in the history of the world?

In an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sabrina was allowed a party - obviously things went terribly wrong (with sly commentary of course from Sabrina's talking cat Salem)

where was I? Oh yes. At the last minute Sabrina's aunts rescued the party with a little magic - a curtain was drawn back to reveal a band and Sabrina uttered the immortal worlds "oh my god! It's 10,000 maniacs!"

Oh how we laughed.

That's hilarious. Their record company must have had some serious clout to get that done. Just the right demographic too. I don't think. Still, I've always quite liked Sabrina.
