So I know that last week I was talking about making a Cure playlist, which I never did get around to. Then again, last week was also chilly and rainy.

Right now, not so much.

Yesterday afternoon, in fact, it got so hot (87° F) in my house that I resorted to wearing a swimsuit while was working. The swimsuit ended up coming in handy when I called the beau and convinced him to come home and have a margarita with me while laying on a blanket in the side yard before going back to work. Let’s just say that I was delighted to be reminded that there are actual benefits to working from home, after all.

But enough about silly indulgences.

I got a taste for sun and heat, and I want more. So I assembled the following mellow warm-weather grooves. If spring hasn’t quite yet sprung where you live, don’t worry. Put this on and think about what’s to come.

Unless you live south of the equator, in which case, uh, this mix is the perfect soundtrack for pulling your sweaters out of storage.
