Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
Do you distinguish between "vial" and "vile"? Yes, I think so. I pronounce vial more or less as /ˈvajəl/, and vile as /vai̯l/.

Re: Music styles, etc
The only "post-post" thing I've ever encountered was post-postmodernism, and it's ridiculous as it is. I doubt anything with more than two (hell, even one) posts- warrants credibility.
