Hi Lilith,

Long time no post from me. Haven't even been lurking much. Still pop in from time to time to see what people are talking about. Glad to see the community is still alive and well. My club night is now in it's 19th month. (remember when I asked for advice when I started?). Whoo hoo.

The "Bau" in Neubauten is pronounced "bow" (rhyming with wow).

:P

Argh!!! All my friends and I have been pronouncing Cruxshadows wrong all this time! X) See that's what happens when there aren't any other goths in your locality, and the music never gets played on the radio/tv so you never get to hear their names pronounced, you just read them. Now if I start pronouncing it right everyone will wonder what the hell I'm on about or think I'm being weird.

I believe that they have the pronounciation explained on their site somewhere, or did :P

I keep procrastinating about things like that. Going to band's sites. I've only really bothered with Ghost of Lemora's site.

I know this is an ancient thread, but I have a quick question. How does everyone pronounce Cocteau Twins? From what I have read Cocteau Twins is some sort of folk song, but I have no clue how to even start to pronounce Cocteau.

I actually thought this was mentioned earlier.

It's cock-toe.

I once heard Bauhaus pronounced "Ba-has" ??? but I think I'll take liberties and assume that that's not it.

Especially considering it was already described correctly 30 times two years ago in this thread?

Zombie thread closed.
