Fwd: Music: a band called "Waxwings"
From

I stumbled across a record by a band called "The Waxwings" in a second-hand
shop today, and as it was titled "Shadows of the Waxwings" I figured there
might be a connection. Sure enough, an interview here:

Reveals one:
"So what's your name a reference to?
It's from a book called Pale Fire, by Nabokov. It's a reference to a bird
called Waxwing there's a poem about the bird at the beginning of the
book. We were recording our first record and reading the book and making
lists of names when we came across it we decided it was the name least
likely to be taken but it was we worked it out but there's a another band
called Waxwing out there "
Details of their record are here:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000069DQ4/104-5458209-2408746
although that shouldn't be taken as a recommendation - I haven't heard them.
