I'll second the suggestion for the Marmot DriClime Jacket. It's not bulky, breaks the wind, has a lightweight fleece liner, will stop a light rain for awhile (it's not totally waterproof). Just layer some fleece under it for colder weather, or wear it with just a tee shirt for fall/spring weather. My one complaint is that the material is slick, so a shoulder strap tends to slide off. If you've got backpack straps it's not an issue. Oh yeah, it's got a chest pocket for an mp3 player with a small exit hole for headphones.

For as long as possible I try to warm my ears with headphones that have clips. You just rotate the earphone so that the clip doesn't pinch too hard and won't fall off. Then a beanie on top when the earphone ain't warm enough. The trouble with this approach is that you should always have one ear open without music blasting to it so that you hear FORE!!!

Can anyone recommend a quality lightweight rain jacket for under $50? I'm going to be in Dallas this weekend, and they have an REI there, so I checked their online store...but the cheapest was around $100 and they go up to $499

I really just need a good waterproof outer layer...doesn't need to provide any warmth. Would prefer it not look like ass also.
