Also, Sean Nelson played the Largo last night, so there might be a chance of him being involved in the Hitchcock stuff going on on Wednesday (KCRW & Amoeba), if this some sort of band thing. With it being kind of a one-off, solo is more likely, but who knows. Marc I don't pretend to have all the answers. I don't pretend to even know what the questions are. Hey, where am I?

Because sometimes, it makes a difference in the all-important arena of alphabetizing one's database. (It is too all-important.) Example: the band A Camp, featuring the Cardigans' Nina Persson and Shudder to Think's Nathan Larson: is that simply "a camp"...or is it "A Camp" like the old TV series "F Troop"? If it's the first, of course it goes under "C" - but if it's the second, it goes under "A" because the "a" isn't an article but a letter.

This is my practice also.

It's of the utmost importance, as it's like not the very first CD in your alphabetical collection. So you hit this particular problem right away. See also "A House", "An Horse", etc. Pronunciation difficulty, too. I have tended to say "AY Camp"; my friend Cliff settled on "Uh CAMP". However, the band was really Persson and Mark Linkous, with occasional contributions from Larson. Anyways, yeah, bastards. The ambiguity is probably intentional... s'posed to make you think. Or something. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 09:56:46 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: alphabetization annoyance On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 9:47 AM, Rex wrote: > > > On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 5:18 AM, 2fs wrote: >> >> I hate it when bands don't explain their names. >> >> Because sometimes, it makes a difference in the all-important arena of >> alphabetizing one's database.

So you hit this particular problem right away. > See also "A House", "An Horse", etc. For some reason, A House just struck me as, "a house." No idea why. "An Horse" is, I gather, the way some people say "a horse" with a silent h - and so, under H, since i'ts just an article even if a dialect one. > Pronunciation difficulty, too. I have tended to say "AY Camp"; my friend > Cliff settled on "Uh CAMP". I actually googled to see if pronunciation would help - all I could find were a few videos with an announcer in Swedish...which, uh, didn't really help me. Of course, I do have a friend who speaks Swedish - maybe I should ask her. (My "The The" tribute act's name will be "An An"...) - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 13:37:18 -0500 From: Stewart Russell Subject: Re: alphabetization annoyance 2009/2/23 : > > do you file the soft boys CDs with your RH CDs ? Yes - right along with my Warren Zevon and Art of Noise CDs;that's to say, in big storage bins in the garden shed. Once I've ripped a CD, I let Firefly handling the filing and playback.
