* KangarooCourt: In "I'm Not the Man", the main character, a Black man framed for murder, is rushed to a death penalty by a court that refuses to entertain the possibility of his innocence, with the narrator noting that "his own confession was a prosecutor's prize, made up of fear, of rage, and of outright lies."

* NewSoundAlbum: ''Secrets of the I Ching'' shifted the band's sound away from PostPunk to a rough, but folksy brand of JanglePop. ''Music/InMyTribe'' smoothed out the band's sound to a more mainstream-accessible sound while still having a distinct edge to it. ''Our Time in Eden'' smoothed out their sound even more, and resulted in a softer, more melancholic style, paralleling Music/{{REM}}'s similarly soft and melancholic ''Music/AutomaticForThePeople'' (released just six days later) and foreshadowing the quiet, folksy brand of art pop that would define Natalie Merchant's forthcoming solo career.

An AlternativeRock band from the Hudson Valley in New York state, 10,000 Maniacs (a reference to the '60s horror film ''Film/TwoThousandManiacs'') began life as the cover band "Still Life", whose line-up included guitarist Rob Buck, keyboardist Dennis Drew and bassist Steve Gustafson, all of whom would go on to become life-long 'Maniacs' (Buck died in 1999). After a series of line-up changes, the newly-christened "10,000 Maniacs" played their debut gig on Labor Day, 1981, fronted by a 17-year-old Natalie Merchant. After a year of exhaustive gigging, a debut EP ''Human Conflict Number Five'', and various changes of drummer, 1983 saw the arrival of now-longstanding member Jerry Augustyniak, followed by the group's debut album ''The Secrets of the I Ching'', released on the Maniacs' own label, Christian Burial Music.
