9:30 Coffee Break: Sunshine

April 26, 2013

It finally feels like Spring here in Minnesota, the temperature has risen, the snow has melted, and the sun is out in full force. We can hardly contain our excitement to get out and enjoy the weather.

How about a Coffee Break to celebrate the sunshine? What song with the word sunshine (or sun/sunny) in the title or lyrics should we play for today's 9:30 Coffee Break?

And, congratulations to our Coffee Break on the Road winner Periscope. We received 18 emails from the fine people of Periscope with photos of their animals at work, top 10 lists of why the Current should visit and even some begging and pleading.
Alissa wrote, "Please bring The Current Coffee Break to Periscope. You might have heard that we "Do Things People Love." Well, we love you. And The Current. And coffee. So by coming here and broadcasting from beside our cracklin' Commons fireplace, you, too, would be doing many things that people (specifically Periscopians) love." We couldn't say no to emails like that. See you in just a bit people at Periscope.

Songs Played:

The Beatles - "Here Comes the Sun"

Atmosphere - "Sunshine"

Weezer - "Island in the Sun"

Belle and Sebastian - "Legal Man"

The Kinks - "Sunny Afternoon"
