Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu describes an funny encounter with some preppy guys that almost went sour. Watch the full video interview with Xiu Xiu at www.uncensoredi...
Fucking LOL!! Preps are so fucking dense! xD Xiu Xiu's in New Zealand this Spetember I'm so excited! I thin I might tell people that I'm going to see Shwee Shwee just to see if they notice that I'm saying it wrong.
little beach town in FL - oldest continually occupied european city in the continental US, oldest open port in the US? That little beach town? ;) Otherwise, yeah, he's right.
Hm... Doesen't 'Schwang' sound better? Phoneticaly, it's just a tad more pleasing. But as it is, it's your band so you go ahead and call em whatever you like.
Everyone has pronounced it wrong. Xiu Xiu = 秀秀 which is named after the Chinese movie. It's pronounced C-ew C-ew. Respect the original pronunciation if you want to use it. Saying Chwee Chwee or Xu Xu (or Zhu Zhu) are equally wrong.
I'LL PRONOUNCE IT "SHOE SHOE" AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT. SOMETIMES I'LL EVEN CALL THEM "CHOO CHOO". HAHA YES. MY FAVORITE BAND. CHOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOO. BECAUSE THEY WERE NAMED AFTER TRAINS.
actually Shwee Shwee will be closer than "Xu Xu" in term of the original pronunciation (as the band is named after the Chinese movie), it should be "c-ew c-ew" (it's a little girl's name). You are all murdering the pronunciation, Chinese people should be offended.
