benchiladaSince I'm not ready to show the writing yet, you can enjoy/not enjoy the results of the "Guess benjamin's songs" meme.
I'm gonna list twenty (or so) of my favorite bands. (Not my complete favorites, just 20 of them). You get to try to guess my favorite song by them. Good...motherfucking...luck. I'll start "easy" for you. :D
1. They Might Be Giants -- "She's an Angel" --![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
