Every time I try to pronounce Aoxamoaxa, I spit all over my monitor!

Is it O-za-mo-za, or Awk-sa-mawk-sa

Anyways, yes we're all very cool around here . Some of us more than others . (This means you, non-participatory team-mates ... (not you Ryan)).

Welcome to the WRF. Enjoy!

No Grateful Dead fans here? Aoxamoaxa is a Dead album. WTF knows how jerry garcia wanted it pronounced? I've always thought of it as Awk-sa-mawk-sa - as your latter attempt correctly comprehends

Welcome Enjoy the Ride

From Wikipedia

Aoxomoxoa is the third studio album by the Grateful Dead. It was originally titled Earthquake Country. Many Deadheads consider this era of the Dead to be the experimental apex of the band's history. It is also the first album with Tom Constanten as an official member of the band. Rolling Stone, upon reviewing the album, mentioned that "no other music sustains a lifestyle so delicate and loving and lifelike."
The title of the album is a palindrome created by cover artist Rick Griffin and lyricist Robert Hunter. According to the audio version of the Rock Scully memoir, Living with the Dead (read by the author and former Dead co-manager himself), the title is pronounced "OX-OH-MOX-OH-AH".
In 1991 Rolling Stone selected Aoxomoxoa as having the 8th best album cover of all time. Tapes of outtakes from the recording sessions exist among fans.

ah well... turns out i was wrong about the pronounciation. thanks saltysurprise. wasnt wrong about the music though - its very good.

Hey man, I'm trying I don't mind the Dead at all, I just wouldn't call myself a 'Deadhead'.

There was a time I was a 'Doors-Zepplin-Who-Floyd-Cream' head though I love it all man.

Except country and hip-hop. Those two I don't get

LOL! Normally that's not allowed except in rare horrible spelling mistakes

Do you think anyone would even notice? I get dizzy just looking at both of them.

If the superpowers that be deem it so, you'll be notified. Until then just keep using aoxamoaxa.

Thanks man!
