My "books that were named after bands" thread was deleted in jess' purgeblitz. :(

Actually, "The Varieties" would be a good name (sort of like "The Doors" from "The Doors of Perception")

If there actually was a band called Foucault's Pendulum my guess is they'd either be math rock or new age.

If only "If on a winter's night a traveler" would open for I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness or Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, the world would be complete.
