Welcome to the first day of November. Our listener Nathan wanted to remind us that today isn't just the start of the month. He wrote, "Is there any chance you'd play mustache songs on this Friday's Coffee Break for all of us shaving our facial hair for Movember? It's Shave the Date and there will be countless men out there who will be clean shaven for the first time all year."

Ask and you shall receive. We're going to tweak your suggestion a little and celebrate some of the greatest mustaches in music. What songs from musicians with famous mustaches should we play for the 9:30 Coffee Break?

Songs Played:

Husker Du - "Makes No Sense At All" (Greg Norton)

Queen - "Play the Game" (Freddie Mercury)
