Jim, it's said just like it's spelt. Spuhd-uh-fgh-ah-Hh. Which doesn't make much sense, as those sounds are quite difficult to render in English, but yeah.

My question to ILM: Ui? Is it YOU-ee, OOO-ee, or maybe even OOO-eye?

*bzzzzzzzt!*
Wrong answer! You don't get the cookie. "Tejada" is pronounced Theh-heh-dah (if you're into correct pronunciation) or Teh-hay-dah (if you want to Anglicize it). No way in the world would I ever be able to accept the pronunciation of that last name with the first syllable sounding like "Tay".
Sorry. I just happen to be a bit picky about the only other language (i.e., the language aside from English) I know.
On the subject of Lene Lovich (or her first name, more precisely): It would indeed be pronounced Lay-nah. I've seen on some fansite how that's the correct pronunciation of that first name.
Can't think of anything exotic I would need pronunciation help with. Sorries.

(And 'Les Rita Mitsouko' should be 'lay ree-ta mitso~ko', because the 'u' denotes a lengthening of the 'o' sound. But.)
I always (mentally) pronounced Labradford 'labradorford', but I think that was just because I read the word wrong.

Alamaailman Vasarat? I can sort of imagine it, by just doing a really bad finnish immitation and saying it really quickly.
also the "Duul" part of Amon Duul, is it "Daal"?
Well, ü is usually pronounced like a Norwegian "y"(sorry) So say it like Amon Dyyl (the y-sound being like the one that starts the word "yes")Of course, I might be way off, I've never said the bandname out loud in my life.

Uh-luh-muh-ee-l-muh-n wuh-suh-rut. The Finnish "a" is pronounced like the "u" in "hut" or "fun", and "i" like the "i" in "killer". The nouns are pretty much the same as in other Scandinavian languages.
Well, ü is usually pronounced like a Norwegian "y"(sorry) So say it like Amon Dyyl (the y-sound being like the one that starts the word "yes")
Erm, I think you're wrong; "ü" is indeed pronounced like "y", but it isn't the y-sound of "sorry" or "yes". Ü/y sounds somewhat like the "u" in "duke" or "dune", but I'm not sure whether there is an exact English equivalent for that sound.

I think you meant to type "pair OOboo" (and while pere does mean father, here it does not--it's a familiar way to refer to someone, like "Mr./Monsieur" but without the respect that implies)
