We had a blast letting Shirley Manson of Garbage take over our airwaves this morning.

If you missed her Theft of the Dial, take a listen, see which songs she chose to play for you and find out what has kept Garbage together for an impressive 20+ years.

In honor of Shirley and her Scottish heritage, what songs do you want to hear from Scottish musicians for today's Coffee Break?

Songs played


Sunshine Superman - Donovan
The Party Line - Belle and Sebastian
In a Big Country - Big Country
Carolyn's Fingers - Cocteau Twins
Bullet - Franz Ferdinand
Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers

Do you deserve a Coffee Break? We at Oake & Riley think you do, and we want to bring coffee and treats from Gigi's Cafe to your workplace. In addition, we'll bring along local artist Chris Koza to perform a couple of songs for you and your coworkers. Let us know why you'd like a Coffee Break - or request your own idea for a future topic.

And if you'd like a song played just for you based on your life experience, request a song for Rx Radio.
