Music for filling sandbags

By Kim Nowacki | January 8, 2009

Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks” is stuck in my head.

I’m thinking it has something to do with the fact I keep looking at all the photos and video of the rainfloodmudslideapocalypse happening across the state. And that, of course, led to more thinkin’ which led to …

    I “thought” of (or totally looked up) a few others:

    “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)”, Arcade Fire
    “Stormy Weather”, Art Tatum
    “The Canals of Our City”, Beirut
    “Gale Blow”, The Fiery Furnaces
    “The Flood Blues”, Sippie Wallace
    Alternate TMBG suggestion: “Boat of Car”
    “300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues”, The White Stripes

    Though whether or not these are songs actually about heavy weather I leave up to the careful listener.
