Pronunciation Guide

Hahaha! Well..... good to be up there on the Radar Report on XMU. And cool that they picked "I'm the Decider" to play. The band's been into the track from the beginning.

Still, people persist in pronouncing my name "snide". No fault of the host, Billy Zero. I didn't tip him off or anything. But. Just 'cause there's a "y" in there, don't let that "iiii" fly! It's Sneyd, like "sneeeed", like the golfer, Sam Snead (I don't know either - it was a long time ago apparently!). Like you bleed, cut on some sharp weed, and you've got to bandage it with a scrap of tweed. If that doesn't twirl your beads, you can always play with "snade" although the thrill fades the more it's said.

If you find you're stuck, vowels bouncing in your blunted brain, just ask yourself, what would about-to-be-traded Leafs Captain Mats Sundin do? After all, he's a Swede.
