Title: Rainy Day Musics?
Post by: imapiratearg on 30 Aug 2007, 15:01: It's raining today. I feel mellow and tired, and slightly irritable. Recommend me music that's mellow and for a rainy day. Not music that an irritated person would listen to. Because my mood is picking up. Please?

I was thinking about it in my car, and the only stuff really suitable for a rainy day on my mp3 player was Broken Social Scene, that one Edwin McCain song and some Goo Goo Dolls.

Gojogo

Post by: jimbunny on 30 Aug 2007, 15:22: Actually, what I'm listening to right now would be absolutely, positively, and in all other ways perfect. Arvo Pärt's "Spiegel im Spiegel"

No, seriously. This is rainy day music. If I ever make a movie, and it has a rainy day scene, this will be the soundtrack. The characters will stop and do nothing for a while, just so that the audience gets the point that this is rainy day music.

Post by: rhinohelicopter on 04 Sep 2007, 17:00: I just remembered that Silver Jews would be really good on a rainy day. I haven't been able to test said theory out yet because there's a drought here. But when I do, it will be the most glorious rainy day music ever.

Bang Gang - Follow
Baxter - Possible :: Actually, their entire s/t CD is great for rainy days.
Caribou - Hello Hammerheads
Cocorosie - Raphael
Des Ark - Lord of the Rings & His Fascist Timekeepers
Flunk - Keep On
Flunk - Six Seven Times
Husky Rescue - New Light of Tomorrow (Bonobo Mix)
Husky Rescue - Poison
Inara George - Fools in Love
The Go Find - Adrenaline
Junior Boys - Count Souvenirs
The Kilimanjaro Dark Jazz Ensemble - The Nothing Changes
Psapp - Calm Down
Stars - Personal
The Tara King Theory - Am I That Easy to Forget
Wax Tailor - Sometimes
Jenny Wilson - Common Around Here

Sorry for the length of the list, but the bulk of the music that I listen to qualifies as rainy day music, yet I live in a desert, so who knows--
