[edit] Pronunciation of Name

Hmm. I've never heard this business about the pronunciation of Nick's last name before and searching the web and the cited resource does not bring up a single mention of his name ever being pronounced different from the noun "cave." Vandalism? If this occured in an interview, I'm almost wondering if Nick said this as a joke.Kbroome (talk) 22:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea if it was said as a joke or not but the variations in the pronunciation of the name are possible. Depends on the grandparents/parents, I suppose. Nick Cavay and the Bad Seeds. Yep. I can just imagine it. •Florrie•leave a note• 18:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Since it's not in any of the sources, and I happen to think it is WP:BALLS, I went ahead and removed the sentence. Beeblbrox (talk) 19:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I just changed the sentence to refer to his name (just said he wanted to go back to the original pronunciation). I heard about this in his interview on NPR (Fresh Air w/ Terri Gross), which is available online as a source. Someone more qualified with wiki-editing should do this. Also, it would be good to specify the pronunciations. The original sounds like Ca-vay, not the word cave. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.71.46 (talk) 20:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I have been researching this, and I can find no such interview in "Beat Magazine." A search of the site comes up with nothing, and a Google search under the interview title comes up with mirrors of this Wikipedia article. The entire thing, along with the ersatz reference, should be removed from the lede until it is confirmed. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 14:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

"In a 2008 interview with Beat Magazine, Cave expressed a desire to return to the original pronunciation"

Of what? Brighton, Hove, or does he just want to lose his Australian accent? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.102.4.222 (talk) 14:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
