A Cheerfully Ominous Mix

Today on the way from class to work I experienced a very strange storm. When I left campus the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the clouds were nowhere to be seen; about a mile into the interstate portion of my commute, however, the sky immediately went gray save for one loophole the sun had found, and the rain began to pour in random and violent spurts. A mile of torrential downpour, a mile of sprinkling, a mile of the sun coming up again, and right back to the storm. I thought of some songs that I thought might lend themselves well to sound-tracking such a moment. I'm not sure why they do, but I think they do (and I hold the power of veto around here).

[mp3] Broken Social Scene - Guilty Cubicles
[mp3] Yo La Tengo - I Shot Andy Warhol
[mp3] Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
[mp3] The One A.M. Radio - In the Time We've Got
