On the island Java, xylophones are part of the gamelan ensemble. Jack and Ennis drank coffee.
So, a xylophone is Brokieish!
Next: Chanel
Ellemeno:
People often mix their Coco and their Java to make a mocha, thus, Chanel is Brokieish!
(Not my real answer, someone else feel free to go for it.)

Coco Chanel's signature scent was Chanel No. 5, which my mother used to wear and asphyxiate me with when I was a child, thus Chanel is Brokieish. Plus, Alma Jr.'s weddin' was June 5th. Was hopin' you'd be there.
Next: Les Misérables
(Incidentally, Wikipedia gives the French pronunciation as [le mizeʁabl(ə)]. Thanks, real helpful, Wikipedia!)

Oops, Meryl beat me! Is this one of those games that if you miss it you miss it, or can more than one person answer?
Well, rather than post a new challenge and make this too confusing, I'll work on Meryl's challenge.

You can definitely post an additional response with a new idea for the last challenge(s), but I suggest having only one word/phrase/Brokieishness currently in play at a time.
Front-Ranger:
Just to add to southendmd's answer about Mill Canyon Peak near Riverton, Utah, here is something from the National Weather Service web site that Annie Proulx might have seen in her research:
--- Quote ---
On July 18, 1918, two large bolts of lightning struck and killed 654 head of sheep on Mill Canyon Peak in American Fork Canyon. According to one historical account: "Forked lightning had struck twice and split down two sides of the peak...There was about a seventy-five foot swath in between the dead sheep and where not a one was injured...The dead sheep all had to be moved to the opposite side of the canyon so as to be off the 'water shed.' Men counted them as they were moved, 654 sheep had been killed."
