I seem to've missed the first few emails on this topic -- has anyone mentioned Pynchon's "The Paranoids" from CoL49?

Not to mention the bar where the engineers from Yoyodine go play improvised music that's described as it wouldn't be out of place on an Erstwhile disc :) There is also a book by Patrick Süskind named "La Contrebasse" (don't know the English title, and I never knew how this instrument is called in English: contrabass? double bass?) which is the monologue of a musician talking to his instrument. -- Julien Quint http://ui.universinternational.org/univers.html
