The weather her is awful. It can't make up its mind. Just like some sassy lady. The weather here is a sassy lady. It is time for warm rains. And the sky keeps saying to me, "yea, I sure am gonna rain real soon." and it either doesn't bother to [which is called lying!], or it waits till I fall asleep. Sassy lady weather, you are too sneaky. And sassy.

So I put together this mixtape so I could perhaps perform a rather intricate rain dance. And maybe other people could help me. All you have to do is put this mixtape on and then dance however you please. Bring the rain you guys, bring the rain.

tracklist

1 Patty Griffin : Rain
Pretty straight forward. She really uses a lot of sounds that perfectly imitate the sound of rain. Very soft start. Beautiful voice. Wishing for the rain.

2 Adem : Sea of Tranquility
Right before the rain starts everything feels so calm and quiet. That smell... and you can feel it in your bones that something is about to let go.

3 Half-Handed Cloud : Rainbow=Warbow
I'm not really religious but this song is just really beautiful. Very short but manages to put across the feel of the first rain drop coming down from the sky and striking a pretty face. How long has it been since i've seen a rainbow?

4 The Appleseed Cast : Fishing the Sky
Excellent song. The tempo is just perfect for the mood I'm going for. This brings about a vision of somebody physically pulling the rain down from the sky. The voices on the track are more drowned out then usually, and I think that really adds to the feel.

5 Smashing Pumpkins : Raindrops + Sunshowers
"Rain falls on everyone" finally falling through the clouds and every face looking up at the same time to meet a quiet flood of droplets. The smashing pumpkins have always been good in my book.

6 Bjork : Pagan Poetry
Wonderful sounds. The opening especially sounds like a MAGICAL rainfall. The whispering voices really make this track feel like a ritual to bring about the rain. Nice as ice.

7 The Vines : Rainfall
Another obvious one. I kind of tried to alternate between the obvious and the not so much. I'm not sure how this site feels about the vines, but I am okay with them most of the time. Little bit more rhythmic rather then soundings. Certainly something that could be danced to.

8 Broken Social Scene : Pitter Patter Goes My Heart
A very somber track for these guys. Brings out the more melancholy aspect of the rain. Very pleasant for the ears, and rhythmically pleasing.

9 Guster : Rainy Day
The background noises of this track are really reminiscent of raindrops. Still a bit on the wistful side, but still a very nice addition to the mix tape. Mostly about waiting, and wandering through it.

11 Shiny Toy Guns : Rainy Monday
Very dancey! A mix between a very classy techno beat and some poppy vocals. Just a track of celebration. Spin and spin. Comon.

12 The Concretes : Warm Night
Rain + warm nights = perfection. Rains are only as good as the temperature outside. The warmer the better, I say. Another romantic time.

14 The Format : Snails
I love this song. It's very thoughtful. With the rain comes the nature. As a child I remember always seeing worms and snails out during the rain, and right afterwards. I was always fascinated, and this song does well to fit that.

15 The Jayhawks : Save it for a Rainy Day
I can not get enough harmonica. It just seems like the instrument that best fits the rain. It seems like on rainy days its easier to let out your emotions and not feel so awful about it all.

16 Iron and Wine : Faded From the Winter
Spring is the perfect time for these rains. So where the heck are they? The seasons are really disappointing me. How could iron and wine not be perfect for a rainy day? They themselves are really just self explanatory.

17 October Fall : Caught in the Rain
I think this is the only song I have by these guys, and I don't really know much about them. But very very dancey. Kind of stands out from the other tracks cause it's a bit louder in most aspects. I've been known to rock out in the rain before, and I will probably be doing it again.

18 The Lovely Feathers : Orchids
I love loveness love these guys. There sound is really interesting. And their lyrics are always really quirky. This song is pretty mellow. The flowers that suddenly spring up after the rain has ended. That smell lingers and pulls new things right out of the ground.
