Oh, the music references in Inherent Vice
Gee, except for the one drunken post I didn't say much about Inherent Vice - but let me say this: Pynchon's musical references are a blast and I can't tell when they blur from real to made up. My two favorite real ones (real as in I remember them from the first time around and there they are in the book) are to Thunderclap Newman's Something In the Air, and more generally, to Wildman Fischer (who's tune I remember best is Merry-Go-Round).
