How wild is this wind?

see last tread, who had it first london or rotterdam?

also I've been listening to the Annette Kerbs solo guitar alb today. a guitarist from berlin who can v v quiet, but she also can be loud as she plays against tape as well...anyway, its annoying becuz i can't quite get hold of the quiet bits so i turn it up loud and when she switches to 'loud' mode it catches me unawares so I have to switch the volume control which is a tad annoying..

Glad it's all back to normal now.

lights occasionally flashing in my flat, think a power cut is imminent. whimper!

Everyone stay safe pls

I left the house this morning to a sunny clear sky, 15 mins later just as I approached the office the wind and rain were shocking.

great revive

newish book on the wild wind

https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/books-media/simon-winchester-wind-adventures-interview/

(which is what this list ^^^ is from)

see also: https://www.nyrb.com/products/heavens-breath

cool

actually i think lyall watson (author of that nyrb book) may have originated the list of winds, which winchester amended

this is my favorite song on station to station

and yes i know it is a cover

yeah i love this song! i'm partial to the cat power version.

wind is something we don't have enough of where i live imo.

on the other hand the near-constant wind in wyoming would drive me crazy.

My three year old yelled at the wind when it was too noisy recently. “Stop it wind, stop hitting the house. It is very rude.”

iirc the great salt lake is drying out/turning to poison? perhaps better to be becalmed

xp your 3yo is not otm : /

that’s what i say too whenever the santa anas start up lol

xp

iirc the great salt lake is drying out/turning to poison? perhaps better to be becalmed

right? i think the danger is a little "the sky is falling," personally speaking. the concentrated layer of car pollution that accumulates within the first few hundred feet of air above the valley floor during winter inversions is much more toxic afaict. whatever sediment is under that salty brine can't be worse than microplastic soup. but if it does become worse a part of me can't help but hope it .. cleanses the valley, so to speak. hopefully by then i'll be gone from here.

wind is rude, absolutely. essential to its charm.

mookieproof's list is incomplete. as my witness I call this:

A Way Out Here They′ve Got A Name For Wind And Rain And Fire
The Rain Is Jack The Fire Is Joe And They Call The Wind Maria

Stupid internet bad lyrics! The rain is Tess!!!
