[edit] Spelling and Pronunciation
Is it U-J3RK5 or UJ3RK5? On the Vancouver Complication compilation, the dash is used, and the dash turns up more hits on google. What is the evidence for the current spelling? JonnyChance 18:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC) According to [1], the five is silent. "The weirdest group, U-J3RK5 – pronounced "you jerk"; the 5 was silent – sounded like a cross between Devo and Cheech and Chong and provided Complication with some of its most famous alumni, including future CBC radio announcer David Wisdom and three of the most prominent visual artists of their generation: Ian Wallace, Rodney Graham and Jeff Wall." Do any sources say anything to the contary? Even the song U-J3RK5 Work for Police isn't clearly one or the other. JonnyChance 07:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Latter-day terms - synth pop/art rock
I wouldn't have considered these guys either; when they came out, they were New Wave; any later critics' analysis are post-facto, and synth pop in its post-Fixx/Duran Duran "glory" hadn't been invented yet. If the B-52s were new wave, so were UJ3RK5.Skookum1 (talk) 05:53, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
