Wait a sec.  You mean it's pronounced "Van-< HARD G >-elis"?  I thought it was pronounced like "Van-Jealous" all these years!  I'm confused.

I'm in agreement with you. I think Dave has been mispronouncing it--he was the first person I ever heard pronounce it with the hard G.

Eeew, KFOG's playing the Pearl Jam cover of Last Kiss. Potential cheese when 2002 gets on the wheel in 2012..

Beat me! -- I was just about to comment that I hadn't heard that in a while and that it's still awful. But I suspect KFOG's reviving it because they're planning to play the new Pearl Jam, which is out any day now.

But as to Vangelis, it is indeed pronounced with a "hard" G:

Not me, I always heard it pronounced van-gay-lis when we were hearing Aphrodite's Child & iirc, at the Oscars when Chariots of Fire was nommed.

Anybody speak modern Greek?

Wang CHUG? LOL!  Guess he couldn't decide if it was "Celluloid Heroes" or "Celluloid Heroin"...

But Dave screwed up too: in his backannounce he identified the Bond theme as being by John Williams instead of John Barry.
