Tain or Toin?
Ever since The Decemberists' The Tain came out I've been trying to figure out the connections to the story. I read it like 10 years ago.
Here's my drawing of Cuchulainn and the prize bull. I annotated and illustrated the book as I went. I remember being fascinated by it, reading it in the afternoons in the park.
The Pitchfork review does try to make sense of it all.

I was glad to hear in the Toronto radio interview that Colin & Co. do indeed know how to pronounce it, but instead opted for the "more rock" Tain.
