A visit to the aquarium inspired this week’s mix; the penguins didn’t seem to enjoy the Texas heat very much and were just trying to do as little as possible during my visit. I can’t say that I blame them very much, I didn’t do much else today except to stay in the air conditioning and purchase penguin related items. So to help myself and others relax while dealing with the heat, here’s a nice laid back and chill mixtape with no particular theme, but feel free to interpret it however you want to.
