A while back, teranika asked me whether I�d consider a mix of music about rain along the lines of the solar system mix I made for AJ. Her request was timely, as I�ve been thinking about a weather- related mix for AJ, who has recently taken to pouring over the weather maps in the newspaper at breakfast. I haven�t had a chance to actually work on a mix and I don�t know when I�ll get to it, but I thought I�d share the songs under consideration. I don�t know all of these songs, so if any of you has an opinion � positive or negative � about their inclusion, I�d love to hear it.
