Not an anagram
editThe lead section of the article says that the album's name, Grayfolded, is an anagram of "Grateful Dead". It's not an anagram -- a word or phrase that is created by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase -- but I'm not sure what the proper term for it is. "Grayfolded" sounds a lot like "Grateful Dead", with the accent on different syllables, and it looks a lot like "Grateful Dead" too. Is there a word that describes this? Either way the article should be changed so that it doesn't say it's an anagram. "P.S." Anagrams for "Grateful Dead". — Mudwater (Talk) 00:16, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- It’s a pun, arising from “Grayfolded” and “Grateful Dead” being (to some speakers/ listeners at least) homophones. The technical name for a pun is paronomasia, if a more formal term were needed. Jock123 (talk) 09:14, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
Volume 2 Track “Fold”
editIt may be in the CD booklet (I don’t have it to hand), but I think it’s worth a mention if it can be verified, that the track “Fold” at the start of the second disk contains the entirety of the first volume, resubjected to the plunderphonic process by splitting it at the half way point, layering the halves, and then splitting and layering again and again until the desired length was achieved. This was by way of a joke, made when the album was initially released as two separate CDs, in answer to the imaginary question, would a listener be able to listen to the second disc if they hadn’t already heard the first?
