The Magical Armchair is a loosely-moderated discussion group revolving around Ben Folds Five, a musical group from Chapel Hill, N.C. Described as "Punk Rock for Sissies" by pianist/vocalist Ben Folds, the group play innovative songs with catchy melodies and soaring harmony, from jazzy palm-court arrangements to Little Richard-style rockin', using a unique guitarless piano/bass/drums lineup.
