🦋 Inherent Vice soundtrack

Amazon is really doing some cool stuff with promoting Inherent Vice -- I'm not sure exactly what the business structure of this is, it looks like it is coming from Amazon rather than from the publisher, it looks like Pynchon is actively involved. Anyway, today I found a playlist of tunes featured in the book: Soundtrack to Inherent Vice. Not sure why they did not put multimedia players on the page, but there are links to mp3 files for a whole lot of the songs. (Alas, not for the fictional ones... Who's going to record "Just the Lasagna"?)

(Something I ought to do: make a YouTube playlist containing the subset of songs on the list that are freely available... Update: here it is!)

It is extremely different from Against the Day -- almost hard to tell that they are by they same author. It is a lot of fun but did not blow me away the way I was hoping it might. People are saying "If you liked Vineland you will like this" and there is something to that -- the books have some key attributes in common -- but I tentatively do not think it is as good as Vineland.
