There are lots of songs written about the weather of course. And because this is New Zealand most of them are about rain. As former Prime Minister Geoff Palmer once said, "New Zealand is an indubitably pluvial country". The inspiration for this episode was a crazy record I picked up recently in Wellington - The New Zealand Weather Forecast as sung by The St Mary's Cathedral Choir. The podcast includes that song plus others from Dark Tower, Cool Rainbows, The Enright House and An Emerald City. There's more info, links and videos at http://countingthebeat.blogspot.com
