I'm still not sure about Sunn O))) or Sigur Ros. Can anyone help?


I always used to call them (phonetically) 'Sun Oh' until I read that the 'O)))' is an unspoken symbol aping the Sunn amplifiers logo (and representing the proverbial sun).

I say The Beta Band as in "beeta" whereas John Cusack says "bay-ta" in High Fidelity, but presumably this is merely the American pronunciation of the word.

On a slightly different note (and I was only thinking of this, this morning), there used to be a local band knocking around called The Pedantics (never heard em, never wanted to) but I also never had the heart to say "Excuse me, I think you'll find you should be called The Pedants". Oh, the irony, oh the smart-arsery :-)
