Isn't it funny how that happens. Other music can be playing in the car
on the way home and I don't really pay attention if I've had a crap
day. I just want to get home but if Isaak comes on the radio - the
volume goes up, a smile appears on my face and the bad day just
melts away!

I went into one of the dining halls yesterday for lunch. I was eating my sandwich when all of a sudden I heard "Only the Lonely." I was squealing to myself. I never expecting to hear him there, especially with all the music that usually plays.

I went to pick my mom up at the airport and they played "American Boy!" That was fun!

Mmmm, I love KPIG. Today they played BDABBT and a couple weeks or so ago they played the original Silvertone (not BS) version of Dancin'. I kicked myself yesterday thoiugh cause I got in my car and was listening to a tape that was in, wondering if I should switch to the radio to make sure I wasn't missing Chris and thought, nah, fat chance. And as soon as the song on the tape was over, switched to radio (KFOG), in the middle of SFD. So if I'd listened to my own advice, I'd have heard the whole song. Ah, well!

'KPIG'?? Interesting name for a radio station. I remember when I was in Budapest several years ago there were posters up everywhere for a radio station called KISS FM.

I just moved to Guadalajara, Mexico and had to laugh out loud when I was in Sorianna (a local grocery store) and I suddenly heard Chris Isaak singing American Boy! How ironic that I would hear that song while here in Mexico!

Now I just want to know when is the Mexican tour!

It's a wonder they didn't play 'South of the Border, Down Mexico Way'

I was waiting to get my flu shot, and I heard "Can't Do A Thing (To Stop Me)."

HAS ANYONE HEARD THE COMMERCIAL FOR NICK & TUCK ON TBS TV. THEY ARE PLAYING WICKED GAME IN THE INTRO OF THE COMMERICAL? IT IS A GIRL SINGING THE LYRICS.

Yes...the cover for the Nip Tuck commercial is by "Giant Drag".
You can hear it here on YouTube:

I can't remember if I already said this, but I was in Lowe's late at night, and I ended up hearing "Cool Love".

I was happy!

Yeah, Cheryl, it cracks me up and they play it up too. They have the "swine line" where people can call in announcements, and they are located at "94 oink 9 FM".

And last Saturday they played Round And Round (long time since I heard that one!) and today I caught the last little bit of Wrong To Love You. They play Chris more than KFOG does.

Brightened up my lunch hour again. Mr. Isaak sang Wondering Where did Out Love Go in Marshalls Department Store this afternoon.... Yipee....

I was in Big Lots (chain store) wasting time before work and I heard "Cool Love". I heard him a few times in Marshalls dept store this summer; usually "Only the Lonely". I was in a mall last year Christmas shopping and I heard his version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

what radio stations have you heard him on in major cities?
do any san francisco stations play him?

I was just at The Bay (oldest & biggest department store in Canada) and I heard 'Cool Love'...
didn't think it was that popular!

"Cool Love" sems to be a popular sattelite radio song played in many chain stores. I hear it everyday at my retail store where I work.

I also heard "Cool Love" . I was in Shoprite and in the frozen food section when it came on. LOL!

Yeah, I heard him at Marshall's twice this last week! First heard Always Gone (?) not even sure that's the name of it, I had forgotten about that song but I liked it, and then Cool Love which IMO is about like the rest of AGT. I had heard the last few bars of that once at Home Depot and didn't even realize they'd been playing Isaak till then and couldn't even place what song it was by the lyrics. Shows how much of an impression THAT one left on me!

And dmcccarthy yes, KFOG and KPIG play him quite a bit.

Had the radio on today at work when clearing up and "Wicked Game" came on and was so pleased that I phoned the Station and told them that they had made my day (luckily I know the DJ and he knows all about my CI obsession!!).

Have probably said this here before, but we don't hear CI&S at all on the radio over here so anything we hear is a brilliant bonus!!

Have a great weekend!!

Well,this morning as I warmed the Triton Deisel up,I heard
Wicked Game on my fave 96fm station.
Then,as you would have read in Miss Kitty's "Rumours"
thread,I heard that he was joining The Divinyls and The
Church at Freo Oval on Dec 22nd.Then after a few requests,
and after I had cleaned a three by three,I got in the Triton,
cranked the aircon and the tunes only to hear the DJ I had
spoken to earlier about the concert,play Somebody's Crying
just for lil ole me.I was so chuffed!!

Cheers,

Wow Miss Stacey. Must be going around or soemthing. I know it's
not unusual to hear Isaak on the radio but I just picked up my
Aunty and had just finished telling her about the gig in WA
when BDABBT came on the radio.

We both just looked at each other and laughed. How wierd is that!

Well, it's the Christmas season, and you know what that means boys and girls...
CI Christmas songs!
I was out shopping at Mervyn's department store, and heard CI and boys rockin' out on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! It made my morning!

I just heard "Graduation Day" on the TV series "October Road". What a nice surprise!

"Graduation Day" has to be my favourite Chris song ever. I hope he sings the entire song on the next tour.

Dang! I'm so bent out of shape because my store always played "Cool Love", "I'm Not Waiting", and "American Boy", but ever since the day after Thanksgiving...it's been non-stop Christmas music but none have been of Chris's songs!!

Most of the songs I hear are butchered remakes but there are a few classics like those by Elvis, etc.

I miss my Chris Isaak tunes at work

I was eating at "Hometown" today and "I'm Not Waiting" played. I have never heard that played anywhere! A couple sitting across from me were giggling and looking at (I thought) my chest as it was playing. I was thinking "What the heck?" and getting a little annoyed and then realized I was wearing a Chris t-shirt and we all laughed! You probably had to be there!

Yeah..."Hometown" plays alot of the same songs that my store does and I hear that one at my store all the time. It's some kind of sattelite radio that alot of places have. Like I go next door to Carl's Jr. to grab lunch and hear the same song playing as when I left my store to go over there. I've yet to catch "I'm Not Waiting" while at "Hometown" but it doesn't suprise me.

However, my store decides to play Christmas music now, so I haven't heard Chris since day after Thanksgiving...I'm sad

That's cool you wore your Chris T-shirt.....so the couple was familiar with Chris too? Cool!

This afternoon while I was at my neighborhood grocery shopping, I heard Chris's Christmas song version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". That's the one featuring Stevie Nicks. It was so neat hearing Chris's voice singing. My grocery store doesn't play hardly any of Chris's music for some reason.

Last night I was out shopping and as soon as we get out of the car we heard "Washington Square" really loud. The guy(not Santa) collecting for the Salvation Army had a CD player and was playing the whole Chris Isaak Christmas CD. We gave him a couple bucks for having such great taste in music. hee!

Maybe it was brother Nick.

I've heard him twice lately, once in a Cost Plus World Market store playing one of the Christmas songs. Then two nights ago, while brushing my teeth, I heard Wicked Game from the bedroom TV-it was on Friends, the one where Ross and Rachel were making out in the dinosaur exhibit

I heard "American Boy" at work today......I'm so glad the Christmas music is over and my store can go back to playing the few CI songs that they do play! I was having withdrawls at work since the Christmas music started after Thanksgiving!
So, I was excited to once again hear "American Boy"

I was in the Hudson's Bay Company (The Bay) today looking at a bedroom suite when "Cool Love" came on. How odd.....

I heard CI for a couple hours straight my while getting my hair done on Saturday!!
My stylist has various playlists on his iPod that he plays at his salon. He knows what a big CI fan I am, and decided to put on Baja Sessions for me. And since my hair wasn't done by the time the album was over, he put his iPod on random CI play for me while I finished up! Nothing like getting serenaded by Chris while getting pampered!

I have a new work colleague who knows of CI, but has never really listened to the music. I am working with her the night, so came to work armed with my little cd player and "Best of......" CD, so guess what we are listening to right now........................

Far out LTS.That certainly is a luxurious way to get through the day!

All I can say is...I WISH!!!

Cheers,

Heard Original American Boy tonight at Ross. It was almost my turn to pay but I had to step out of the line and "browse" some more, right under the speaker

I heard "Wicked Game" TWICE in one week on the same radio station and the end of "Heart Full of Soul" on a different station. Talk about a banner week! Too bad I didn't go shopping, I might have heard more.

Heya all,

7 yr old son gets a second hand MP3 player thingy from
his uncle a week or so ago and he's been going to bed with it plugged
into his lugholes every night.He climbs out of his bunkbed this morning
and comes into my room and says,"mum,wake up.I'ts Chris Isaak Day".
I say,"Mate,It's 6.30 on a Saturday.Please let me sleep a lil longer!!".
He puts one of the earphones into my right lughole and there he is....
'Please,You're Killing Me".I couldn't believe it
I'm laying in the Kingsize on me own and listening to Chris Isaak on a
Saturday mroning in surround sound thanks to my 7 year old son.

Not brainwashing him at all.

Cheers,

Stacey, woohoo! It doesn't get much better than that!

I was at the movies today and saw a preview for the new Patrick Dempsey movie, "Made of Honor."
I heard some familiar music as I watched the trailer...CI&S's version of "I Want You to Want Me!!"

You can check out the trailer at the movie's website:
Made of Honor

Thanks, LuvTheSurf. That is choice!!! Good for Chris! Some of the movie actually looks funny, too....

Heya LTS,
That looks like an awesome flic.Might just go have a
look see when it comes out here in Oz.Love that Chris
is in the preview.Hope he sings in the movie itself.
Cheers mate,

I was in my local Bunnings (hardware) store this afternoon and heard "Don't Make Me Dream About You". Never heard that played on the radio ever, and in Bunnings of all places! It put a smile on this girl's dial!
Cheers

Today using the ATM in my bank's lobby, heard Let Me Down Easy. Had to stay and make sure i had all my recent transactions written properly in my checkbook

I went to pay off my Sears charge-card on my lunch break yesterday, and I heard the same song. It came on just as I stepped up to give the guy my check, and I kind of smirked to myself.

UP

I heard 'Let me Down Easy' too last week at Coles (local supermarket). They've renovated the place recently however, and the speakers are set waaaaaaay up in the rafters now. You can hardly hear the music at all, but I heard the falsetto bit where he goes 'Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease' and that's what got my attention.

My daughter called me from Taco Bell yesterday just to tell me they were playing Chris Isaak. She didn't know what song it was but I thought that was cute of her!

The other day at work I was listening to the radio (The Peak) and "You Owe Me Some Kind of Love" came on. I don't think I've ever heard that on the radio before. I was so excited and had to crank up the volume. I got some dirty looks from the "easy listening" side of the office. hee! They can just deal with it (and me) for a few minutes.

I heard "I Want You to Want Me" in the trailer of a new film starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher previewed before "There Will Be Blood."
