Thanks to Marshall for writing in with today's theme idea.

He says, "The average Coffee Break is made up of seven songs. You know what else has 7? Deadly Sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth. That equals one song per sin. Oh, yeah, that's right. I did the math."

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that center around a deadly sin?
