* More than half of the songs on Slint's ''Tweez'' are named after women ("Carol", "Charlotte", "Darlene", "Rhoda", and "Nan Ding"). The thing is that all of these are [[Non Appearing Title|non-appearing titles]] that have nothing to do with the song content, and the remaining four songs have male names. They decided to just title the songs as [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming|arbitrary shout outs to band members' parents]]. As for why there's an odd number of names, well, Nan Ding was apparently ''a dog''.
