How do you pronounce Terje Rypdal?  I've always been lazy and just pronounced it in a way I'm sure is wrong, but I'd like to get in the habit of saying it correctly.
(Norwegian guitarist)

My guess is Tear - yeh Rip - doll (as music critic Bradley Smith once stated)

Good idea for a thread. Kudos.

Phideaux  - like Fido as in dog
Tago Mago - with a soft "ah" sound both times

Nemrud - I've never said this word
Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré - Eminem's Great
Arubaluba - Ah-Rooo-Bah-Looo-Buh
I always thought it to be this:

Phideaux  - fee-DOH
Tago Mago - TUH-goh MUH-goh
Popol Vuh - POH-pohl VYUH (as the narrator in Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany pronounced it)
Nemrud - No clue. NEHM-ruhd ?
Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré -  (It's Kobaian, for chrissakes.)
Arubaluba - uh-rooh-buh-LOOH-buh.

Wouldn't Änglagård be pronounced as Ang (as in angle) - la - gore (as in Al Gore)?
I could imagine the final "d" falls away.
But you Swedish proggers, could you tell this non-Scandinavian if I'm right?

That's what I thought, because ä = æ, and I did learn in our local IKEA that Hej Då = Hey, Daw(g).  

And then I found this place on the Net, where Änglagård is pronounced like "Ayn'lagawd". What on Earth is going on.

Our bands name is Verisimilitude [ver-uh-si-mil-i-tood]. We came up with Vtude as a shorting because no one could pronounce it properly. One of our songs is called Panazatazum. We pronounce it [puh-na-zuh-ta-zum] Our friend made up the word, meaning to have a stoner freak out, or intense paranoia. Heres a link to the song..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HduqE6ctiuE

Sometimes, when I'm feeling urbane, I pronounce Yes as Oui.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
