It was a day for flip-flops.

Soundtrack of the Day is an occasional feature about the music that fits the mood or daily events around town.

There are people playing Frisbee on the Common. It's Dec. 3. People are drinking outside at bars, and they're not those crazy people bundled up at cafes training for their trek to Everest.

Remember when people were wondering if we were ever going to get summer?

No? Me neither. Don't bother clicking that link. It's 65 degrees outside.

Save the global warming jokes. Quit talking about Tiger Woods for 45 minutes. Grab a Frisbee or a drink. And here: Have some pop music.

Soundtrack of the Day: Teitur - Catherine the Waitress
Darwin Deez - Radar Detector

A few previous Soundtracks:

Calling Gnarls Barkley: A song for Belichick

Balloon Boy, 'Wild Things' -- and Arcade Fire

Pedro Martinez and L.L. Cool J
