I had no idea the best place to check out Asian Chicks is the Hog Island Oyster company.... learn something new every day.

Note to self:  Avoid Hog Island Oyster company!  :P

It amuses me how widely Mr. Isaak's fondness for Asian chicks is known.  A good friend of mine who's of Japanese heritage used to work in the WEA offices in SF (back when there was such a thing) and fielded some advances by him. I believe she shut him down. At least that's how she tells it.

When I lived in the Inner Sunset I used to frequent a small diner run by a Korean family, and there were a number of Isaak photos and memorabilia on the wall. I always wondered what the back story there was, but never had the nerve to ask.
Let's get right to it.

I'm tempted to point out that Chris Isaak is from Stockton, and hence shouldn't count. Hell, I may do that anyway.

Damn I feel clueless!  I have known lufaphs/Swellegant for quite a while, but did not connect to fb identity until tonight!

Reminds me of I think yesterday's Bizarro:

The name is Kong - James Kong.

I'll give an early BOS for "Estimated Prophet". I dig songs in odd time signatures.

at least we got it out of the way early  ;)

sheesh, I love Grace but never need hear "Somebody to Love" ever again. How many 10@10 appearances has this made, just in the AL era alone?

I have a nice Jeff Airplane T-shirt I'll have to wear to our next club gathering.

Something I would never say. "Stand By Me" on the other hand...

Maybe we'll get some Ledisi? Jellyfish? Tea Leaf Green?

So is this going to be the usual suspect SF bands and songs, or can we expect a surprise later in set (pleeeez)??

I shoulda been born with a silver spoon in hand.

Isn't this song in a wrangler jeans commercial now?

Cocaine -- it's a helluva drug.  at least it's "Higher" and not "Dance to the Trina"
