    it's pronounced "awesome"
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Random is correct.

    I heard they wanted to call themselves RUNDMC, but that was already taken. So they settled for RaNDoM

    Definitely Random. It's from the Torah.

    Ha, agreed. Love this record. Also, Tim B referred to them as "Random" at the pop up store on Saturday so I'd hope he is saying it right...

    Indeed....but with Jeff and PJ touring...and Joseph Arthur's new albums and tours....seems unlikely for awhile. Although their drummer, Richard Stuverud...really seems to want to do another soon.

    Based on the KEXP session, its RNDM. At one point they used "Random", but changed to just the letters.

    The album is called, "Acts"

    At the Seattle show Ed mentioned someone wearing a 'random' hat. We have pronunciation confirmation from Ed himself :roll:

    It started out as Random but then was changed to RNDM, saying each letter. like R.N.D.M. I'm sure they'd be happy you're asking too. :)

    Have a great week everyone.

    Was there some big reason behind that? I can't imagine it was just "because".

    As the OP who brought all this great light to such a wonderful band, I wouldn't object to the 10C floating me an Orange copy of Acts.

    It is R-N-D-M.

    They went back and forth with it, but confirmed in a radio interview that they finally preferred R-N-D-M and that's what they finally stuck with. :)

    Now where is the next album? I LOVE RNDM!! :D

    :(

    here I was thinking it was 'Random', when I went to the show, Jeff yelled at the autograph people, "I'm not signing anything Pearl Jam! Only Random stuff!"

    so I ran after him with my RNDM vinyl...

    I also swear Richard hinted towards a new album in 2014 on his FB, if I can find it I will post the link.

    I have always pronounced it Random…..mostly because I'm too lazy to pronounce each letter individually.

    I would guess either legal reasons or it wasn't Google-friendly.
