120 minute cloudburst. For that special someone, named Rain? That lives in California? Maybe we'll meet again, but... no more typing now...

Feedback:
Your friend Rain is tapping at my window right now. Been pestering me nearly all day. Love the opener but I Can't Stand The Rain would fit my mood right now.
awesome mix...would have loved to see Prayers For Rain by The Cure on there.
There was a kid on our block named Rain. The family moved to DC for a while and then to California. No surprise there. That person would be about 23 or so now. Rain was short for Rainforest. Could it be...
I like the mix of songs, and I also like the overall theme! It's got pretty much (just about) every song one would expect from a mix with such a theme! :-)
some great stuff here, particularly the fab four, dylan, neil young, creedence & thom yorke picks...
Good observation about the Cascades song.
I agree with mixer. there is a strong possibility that rhythm of the rain will appear on the next issue of human jukebox.
Prayers for Rain is great, but a bit much on the love professions.
excellent stuff . . . . always like a good rain mix . . .
Ha, I just posted my own rain mix in honor of a rainy day. I like this one a lot, the Nick Cave song in particular.
Love rain mixes, but I've got to admit, there's a lot of tracks on here I've never heard before. Looks great.
Could have used this during the drought in Tennessee last year. What we need now is a hay mix.
Rhythm of the Rain is just a perfect tune.
