You may or may not know this, reader, but Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson currently resides in Saudi Arabia, where he's waiting to give his ill father a kidney. It's all very dramatic and we miss him very much, so we're dedicating today's Afternoon Aural to Jefferson, who we once turned into a lady.

Jefferson's request? "Anything from the 10,000 Maniacs Unplugged performance." Thus, "Because The Night"…

PS: Natalie Merchant, release another album. Our inner lesbian needs you.

PPS: Cord! Come the fuck back!
