i think she's got a point, i hear that in New York the wind hits the
sky-scrapers, and through lack of anywhere better to go, hurtles
earthward. the result is storm force winds when trying to enter
buidlings. and if this is coupled with heavy rain, it's supposed to be
comprable to being drenched whilst attacked with a sand blasting type
machine. so why they carry on building these buildings is incredible.
which also brings up an old question, why are buildings called buildings
once they've been built? it's pretty obvious that there is no more
'building' going on up there. shouldn't we be proudly calling them
'built'?

but i like rain, and wind, and sometimes i can even convince myself that
i like the sun. but mostly i just like listening to great records while
it rains, especially if i've nowhere to go and nothing to do.

i hear the countdown thing works and has helped already, i'm glad most
of you like it, it's a cheap trick, but it helps at times like this.
