Dear Miko, Lily, Jackson, Lady, Chewy and Wallaby,

We are sorry. Yesterday was International Cat Day, and we missed it. Between Oake, Riley and producer Anna, the morning crew owns no less than six cats. That's six. Cats. (Five pictured.) And yesterday, we failed you.

We regret this grievous error, and to teach us a lesson, what songs do you want to hear for today's Coffee Break that feature regrets, I'm sorries, and would have, should have, could haves?

Thank goodness October 29 is National Cat Day. We'll have another crack at this cat business in a few months.

Songs played


I Should Have Known Better - The Beatles
Regret - New Order
All Apologies - Nirvana
Cat's In The Cradle - Harry Chapin
The Things I Regret - Brandi Carlile
I Apologize - Husker Du

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. 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.
