It may be a gloomy, cold Friday, but we're going to have a little fun. Earlier today we were talking about Twitter's 8th birthday and their celebration with a page to check out your very first tweet.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break we want you to look back at your very first tweet, share it with us, and come up with a song suggestions that fits the theme of your first tweet.

One week from today's we'll be bringing Blitzen Trapper to someone's workplace. If you want it to be yours all you have to do is shoot us an email letting us know why you deserve a Coffee Break: CoffeeBreak@TheCurrent.org

Songs Played:

Public Enemy - "Don't Believe the Hype"
Natalia H - "I am not on Twitter, but when I read a lot of the comments I frequently can hear 'Don't Believe the Hype' by Public Enemy in my mind. Their song rings truer than ever in this age of social media.... Aka 'hype'."

Feist - "Secret Heart"
Carrie - "My first tweet I won 4 front row tix to Feist at the Minnesota Zoo by retweeting vitamn 'I want to see Feist at the zoo with @Vita_MN' BUT I didn't check my twitter until 5 months later and missed the show. Such a disappointing discovery. Please play my favorite Feist tune, 'Secret Heart'"

Talking Heads - "Once in a Lifetime"
Daniel - "What am I Doing Here?"

The Who - "The Kids Are Alright"

Dolly Parton - "9 to 5"
Meghan H - "'No, it's not a Bump-it. But thanks for asking.' So...I think anything by Dolly Parton?"
