The Monsoon is here.

June 4th, 2011

 

I couldn’t go for my daily bike ride this morning because the rains are finally here and it’s coming down like nobody’s business. Actually, the monsoon hit Goa yesterday but I was like “Meh! It’s just a little precipitation!” and went out anyway.

After about an hour or so of cycling in the drizzle and feeling like a drenched rat on a bicycle I realised why all the locals generally stay in during the rains if they can help it.

So this morning I am wisely staying indoors, drinking coffee, watching the rain and listening to a playlist of songs about rain. (Yes, I am that lame)

One of those songs is “It’s Coming Down” by CAKE from what is probably their best ever album, Fashion Nugget.

You can steal the MP3 from the internets here.

Be good, watch out for assholes.

5 song covers that don’t suck.

I Feel For You, Chaka Khan’s ’84 hit from the album of the same name. The song was originally on Prince‘s self-titled debut album in ’79. Chaka Khan’s voice, the funky keyboards and the harmonica solo by Stevie Wonder make the cover much better than Prince’s relatively restrained original.
