Due to have very few friends with similar taste I’d guess I’ve never said around 90% of artists I listen to out loud. Which is a nightmare as when I do find cause to talk about them I’m certain I’m gonna say it wrong!

Spent ages thinking Cat Power was called Chan as it looks as in Han but with a C at the front. Then read a few years ago it is pronounced like Sean but just read Chan is actually a shortening of Charlyne (sp? Anyway as in Kylie). So should it be pronounced Charyn?

Also yeah don’t have any friends so pretty much could be getting loads wrong.

Thought I’d check out the front page of popular music website Drowned in Sound to see how many of the names on their front page I’d said out loud. Other than The Stooges: none.

Oneohtrix Point Never. Thank god for the internet. I could never ask for one of their records in a shop for fear of humiliating myself by saying it wrong.

Tried to say Einstürzende Neubauten in conversation once or twice and had to abort part way through.

Corrected many people on the pronunciation of Sufjan though, baffles me how nobody seems get it right.

I was very confident I could say that until I said it to a German and he actually burst out laughing.
