What’s that pitter-patter on the roof? Is it… Could it be… Top Ten Thursdays? It is! Like a proverbial downpour the discussion this week turned to a topic that is a big part of any Seattle native’s lifestyle: the rain. Specifically, songs about the rain. So warm up some moon waffles, cuddle up in bed like a big toasty cinnamon bun and listen to the storm of discussion.
Or not. I mean, the list is right after the break. I’m not going to stop you.
