It's only Wednesday morning and HOO BOY it has already been a week.

From Jill:

I want to say this, and I speak for myself - I care about you, I care about the music we play on the Current, and I care about being part of your mornings. And I'm going to continue to do that for you and I want to make this the place where you feel comfortable and a place for your go-to mornings and enjoying the music together because that's what it's about. It's about discovering the music. It's about sharing in stories behind the music. And being introduced to bands that were maybe underground 30 years ago but now you're just discovering for the first time. So let's continue to have that path of music discovery together.

That path starts with today's Coffee Break. What songs do you need to hear today?

Tell us what you want, what you really really want.
