i'll be there, and have a request--that song: "Why did it have to rain today. Why? I'd really like to know. This country's cursed with stormy weather and it's always cold." (i don't remember who sang it--it's 80s)

I don't know that one, but if someone has it and can YSI it, I'll see what I can do.

This calls for a curry and a beer.

What a fine idea, pup.

If you're not country-adverse, "Songs About Rain" by Gary Allan would be very "meta"...

Good timing. The storm's extending all the way down into So Cal tonight, for the first time in over a week...

Sweet set. I really enjoyed that.

Lovely lovely. It's snowing here but it's not really a pretty snow; it's one of those small wet noisy snows & so this music is oh so apropos. ;-)
