Personally, it's a soundtrack... I like listening to the Amelie movie soundtrack on lightly raining days where I don't have to leave the house.

Why someone would want music to dilute the sound of falling rain is beyond me. That said Satie's Gymnopédies are good.

Bebop - bebop jazz like Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and John Coltrane

I like some soft piano or good lofi beats when it's rainy out.

I also like adding stuff to The Weekend Event Thread! Check it out a little later for all the good stuff going on this weekend.

Rainy days always make me want to listen to that last Whiskeytown album, Pneumonia.

The kiddo is home with a confirmed case of the flu and is driving everyone (me) bonkers but I’m hoping I can get my baking for the family treat exchange done today anyways. Wish me luck!

Only Happy When It Rains

I love these questions because invariably I’m googling “What Happed to…”

Edit: Shirley Manson just said in an interview “I took a crap on a cheating boyfriend’s breakfast cereal. I’m not ashamed; I’m rather proud of it.” Respect.

Alberto basalm, or that whole album if being active. Nightlife from amon tobin, stream the latest mellow madness set from wrir. But the real answer is obviously come clean by hillary duff

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down, but I do love the sound of rain. Great for sleeping.

Probably to something by Toots and The Maytals. Nothing like some reggae to keep the blues away.

the beatles - don’t let me down

something about that watery wurlitzer (or a rhodes?), the plodding drums, and dreary harmonies just embody a rainy day for me. follow-up might be “flowers never bend with the rainfall” by simon and garfunkel.

edit: ooo, or "i think it's going to rain today" by randy newman. such a good fucking song. the guy hates it apparently - thinks it's too maudlin - but it's so fucking good.

Anything after the 15th is going to be holiday music, I try not to listen to it too much before then so I don't get sick of it before Christmas.

Zeppelin - Rain Song for sure

Was just listening to The Punch Brothers cover of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald though, and I have to say that fits the bill pretty well too.

❤️ - one of my favorite sounds in the entire world. When I was little, I used to sit on my grandparent’s back porch in the rain because I loved the sound of it plinking their tin roof.

Kathy’s Song by Simon & Garfunkel

The first verse is “I hear the drizzle of the rain, like a memory it fall, soft and warm continuing, tapping on my roof and walls”. The other verses are just a as good, if not better. Poetry set to a great fingerpicking guitar part.

I just got the autumn cat lofi going in the background for me today.

In other news, I hear the Manchester chipotle, which is walkable for me, is opening next week. Don't care if it ends up being the best or worst one in the state, I'm hype.

Contemporary in the classical subgenre sense. Anyone 20th century and up is deemed to be Modern/Contemporary classical music.

I went to school for classical music and took a buncha classes that focused on 20th century composers for music theory and musicology. I know waaaay too much about this shit.

That don't make a lick of sense to me. Especially considering his work crossed the turn of the century and that the Gymnopedies were composed in the 1800s. Seems foolish to label a style of music by year created. Can you give examples of other composers and works labeled "Contemporary?" Simply googling "contemporary classical composers" gives me 40 some musicians of varying schools and styles, most of whom are still alive today; the list does not include Erik Satie.

Basically the entire Decemberists catalogue but especially A Record Year For Rainfall.

I’ve been traveling over the past week, SF to Seattle to Minneapolis back to Richmond and it was ~40 degrees and raining everywhere I went. I’m over it.
