Spot on.
There are few systems how to notate modes. First one,if it's E Lydian per example then you take all signs from "mother" Ionian, which is B Major,6 sharps. Second one and the one I prefer actually, to take it as a major which it is,a major mode, and then putting #4 every time it appears, to point at its flavor even more. So when it says it's in key of E major, you strum E chord and that's the root . Play A# note and you have E Lydian, play D note and you have E Mixolydian. It shouldn't confuse you tho, point is to understand the mode and its notes/flavors, everything else is just the label,the name.  -------------------- Youtube

Ahh, no chance to write something like this by accident.
 By the way,if you say it's in key of B while trying to show E Lydian to someone, well,you might miss the whole point and show nothing to him/her.

I agree, now...
Had it been E phrygian, you would have set the key to E minor, right? |

QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Jul 31 2008, 04:44 PM) Clearly. I fully understand this now. EDIT: No, wait... what would one do in the case of say... E phrygian dominant? Well,I would say key of E once more but only IF E phrygian is the root. If it's just momentary there and then you have Am after then it's key of Am. Rule is,listen to whole tune,not just part of it, the safest way to decide which key is it.

QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Jul 31 2008, 05:08 PM) That would be if you have a progression in the key/mode of A aeolian, where you would include a chord such as Em, which would leave with a momentarily E phrygian sound, right? No need for Em chord,just E chord. When you say key of Am then Am chord is the root and you can have Em chord as minor dominant chord or E chord as major dominant chord. But both versions are key of Am. -------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Jul 31 2008, 05:54 PM) Oh, sure, on the phrygian dominant it's an E chord. Holding together my music terms in the heat is quite a challenge. Had we been playing the key of Am, with Am as root chord, and we wanted to incorporate the E phrygian, the chord would be Em, right? In Phrygian major it would be E...? Well no need to incorporate E Phrygian in key of Am, you already said that we shouldn't use different mode each time we change the chord. But it would be Em chord,yes.

QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Aug 1 2008, 01:16 AM) Yeah, I wouldn't be changing the key from Am to Em in that section. But if we were in a chord progression with Am as root, and they chord change then went to Em and we wanted to archive a phrygian sound, we would have to put emphasis on those notes that states the Phrygian sound, right? Which would be the F? Did that make sense? Actually another thing, I've yet to really grasp is what exact notes makes the modes differ from eachother. Like...in lydian you would put emphasis on the 4th. Yes,for Lydian it would be #4. But it's very important not to lay on it too often, sounds a bit naive if you ask me. Play it just like any other scale's note in order to make nice melody,don't play perfect 4th and you're good. As for phrygian,it would be F in E phrygian,minor 2nd,yes.
