-"'''Cygnus X-1'''" (also known as '''"Smiths Jamb"''') is a [[Weezer]] demo from the ''[[Maladroit demos|Maladroit]]'' era.
+"'''Cygnus X-1'''" (originally known as '''"Smiths Jamb"''') is an instrumental [[Weezer]] demo in early consideration for the album that would eventually become ''[[Maladroit]]''.
 ==Overview==
-"Cygnus X-1" is one of very few instrumental recordings Weezer have made that was ''intended'' to be instrumental.  First recorded during the Steak House/Cello demos of late 2001, a rendition from the [[Glenn Sound Demos]] was released as a free mp3 at Weezer's [[weezer.com|official site]].  It has never been performed live.
+"Cygnus X-1" was originally written, according to the [[Catalog O' Riffs]], in early October of [[2001]]. It is first known to have been recorded during the [[Cello Demos|sessions at Cello Studios]] in early November of that year, though it was not finished at that time. The song was later recorded at [[Glenn Sound Demos|Glenn Sound Studios]] on [[November 14]] for the radio station 107.7 The End, along with the songs "[[Slave]]" and "[[Space Rock]]". The songs were never aired, and the band subsequently released them as free MP3s on their [[weezer.com|official website]].
-It is unknown whether the band named the track after the song by [[Rush]], the celestial body that inspired the Rush song, or both.
+The basis for the song's title has never been commented on, but [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_X-1 Cygnus X-1] is also the name of a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus discovered in 1964, and the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole. It is also the title of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_X-1_(song_series) two-part song] by the band [[Rush]] from their 1977 album ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Farewell_to_Kings A Farewell to Kings]''.
