I Really Like Your Enormous Umbrella

Dear Citizens of the rain-soaked mid-Atlantic area:

Unless it is 1809 and/or you are trying to create the first helicopter, you do not need an umbrella with a five foot diameter.

Please stop trying to a) rip my hair out with your broken umbrella's enormous, exposed metal rods and b) blind me or otherwise injure me with your insane stadium-covering, tarp-like protective device.

And here, with the perfectly acceptable level of semi-dryness afforded you by a normal umbrella, are today's playlists:
