Normally, I would be here as usual whining about our relentless drizzle here in Seattle-ish, but I shall set that aside today in honor of all those people on the East Coast taking shelter from Big Ass Hurricane Sandy. For your listening pleasure, or at least until your power goes out, here's 10 awesome songs selected from my personal iTunes collection with a "stormy" theme. With any luck, you will maybe find some new cool things to listen to while you are cooped up, and will be distracted momentarily from your patio furniture being swept into the Atlantic Ocean forevermore. Also, open a second tab in your browser so you can watch this COOL real time U.S. wind map! Please to enjoy, and stay safe!
