Comment:
I noticed that some of my favorite songs feature rain, or articles of clothing connected to the rain, or African thunder gods. So I put them together with some other rain-themed songs to make a full CD-length mix. Some rain songs were left out for the overall flow of the mix (for instance, Alice in Chain's "It's Going to Rain When I Die" just didn't quite fit). Anyway, I hope you like the arrangement.Feedback:
This isn't an Alternating DJ mix, but I can't seem to change it. Apologies for any confusion.
AOTM has had a bug of a year Dimitri. Some artists have a natural affinity for rain, witness Tom Waits. But why celebrate rain when we here in London are enjoying a week of sunshine?
It's rainy season here in Japan, Dimitri, so this is a timely mix for us.
I live in Iowa. So, after the flood, I suppose it's still in subconscious.
4, 6, 8-11, 13 & 15 are huge favorites - really, really well done - the only glaring omission is "rain" by the fab four, but maybe that's a bit too obvious for inclusion
I wanted to put it in, but it sounded a bit too upbeat for what I was going for (ditto for Jimi Hendrix' "One Rainy Wish")
i'm a rain dog too.
