"Love comforteth like sunshine after rain."

It seems not only Glasto has rain problems this weekend. With flash floods all over the country and a nationwide heavy rain MET office warning (which never happens) it looks like we are in for a wet one. I managed to watch a bit of Royal Ascot today, and even the Queen was facing the elements in her horse drawn Royal procession. Lets hope no one left he washing out, just in case here are some rain themed songs, including the deeply underestablished I Am Kloot, and Peter Gabriel (who is much better than Phil Collins).

Peter Gabriel - Red Rain
I am Kloot - Morning Rain
White Stripes - Red Rain
Violent Femmes - I Hear the Rain
Prince - Purple Rain
The Cult - Rain
Guns and Roses - November Rain Play this very loud and see how many people you can hear singing along!

Glastonbury Festival 2007

This weekend, as you may or may not know, is the Glastonbury Festival in the UK. It is possibly the largest single venue festival in the UK and it is usually the most varied (musically). This year sees some great acts, good old, obscure and famous, and large and tiny. Unfortunately for some of us getting the time off work and the finances to do it was beyond us (mainly me) and we have had to accept second best.

So for those who will join me in sitting in their gardens with music blaring full blast getting trollied inviting strangers round and generally getting messy here is a mix of Glasto's finest (this year)

Cold War Kids - Hang me up to Dry
Willie Mason - We Can be Strong
Tapes 'n' Tapes - Crazy Eights
Bjork - The Anchor Song (Family roots Strings version) Dazzlers fave songs
Patrick Wolf - Wind in the Wires
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Ixtapa
The Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
Bloc Party - She's Hearing Voices
Arctic Monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks

Play it loud!
