the prize on the Pop Quiz is Stevie Nicks tix -- appropriately, since last nite's South Park was the "goat" episode.

Is it just me

...or are we hearing a lot more Chris Isaak on KFOG the last month or so? Ever since they had Archive week a couple weeks back, the place has been just lousy with him. (They're playing a live Heartful of Soul right now, which spurred the question.)

I heard an "archives set" of him Monday after 10@10. Maybe he's playing the "summer picnic"?

Am I crazy or did KFOG just bleep the word "bastard" in the new John Hiatt song?  (it's obviously "bastard", it rhymes with "plaster", "Telecaster" and "master of disaster").  That's scary.

meanwhile, the POp Quiz -- under criticism that they give too many clues, is having "no clue Thursday" (quoting song lyrics, you name the song). And sure enough the Fogheads have.... no clue!

The "no clue" thing was a reaction to yesterday's PQ, in which Peter Finch, ever the nice guy, gave several HUGE breaks to the woman that eventually won ("awww, come on, she's nice...") . Afterward, Dave and Renee commiserated and decided they were being too lenient, and promised no slack from here on out.

I can't believe they just re-ran the interview with the "Blinded By the Lyrics" guy (author of a book about the meaning behind cryptic song lyrics).  His big revelation: that "One Night in Bangkok" is about... chess! No, really? Gee, maybe the fact that it's from a musical called Chess was a clue, eh?

He also made a big deal about Steely Dan using the word "squonk" in "Any Major Dude"... without bothering to mention that Genesis wrote a song called "Squonk".

Reminiscent of my Cure vs. Mamas & Papas faux pas, does Genesis deserve to share the limelight with Steely Dan?

in the post-interview discussion, they referred to "Squonk" as "Genesis... when they were good".  But I was just commenting on the cluelessness of the guy who wrote the book.

I was interested in hearing the interview if only because I missed it the first time around, but considering how much he fawned over the Dan squonk reference as being one of the most obscure lyrical allusions ever, I thought he was totally lame not to at least give Genesis props for writing a whole damn song about the little rascal.

Still, the book sounds like the kind of thing I'd geek out over. And Stacey's semi-annual big ass sale is coming up this weekend. Anything to avoid paying full retail.

But the Steely Dan lyric was 2 years earlier, they did mention that fact.

also catching up on a couple other items:

Last Wednesday they were WAAAAYYY too forgiving of the gal who 'won' their BART quiz.  (Which line goes thru the Rockridge Station?....starts with a 'P'....same name as a city in Pennsylvania....)

I haven't noticed a more than ususal amount of Chris Isaak, but definitely have noticed a big increase in the Police (on top of the usual dose of Sting solo).

the winner of the "get a celebrity to call"contest was William Windom of Farmer's Daughter, My World & Welcome To It and Murder She Wrote. Rcognized his voice immediately.  Glad to know he's still alive!

I googled his image, and found that he was also Commodore Mathew Decker in the classic Star Trek ep "The Doomsday Machine."
