Listening +

[Slothrop at pacbell.net]

Since this is a T.R.P. group, I thought I would let you know that I am 
currently listening to Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys (pretty good, but not 
exactly what I expected).  Additionally, I am listening to Vivaldi's Four 
Seasons and trying to imagine it being played by a chorus of kazoos. 
Lastly, on the listening front, I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can 
get a bootleg copy of the Thanatoids Jaco Pastoriousesque (is that right) 
"Thanatoid World" or even a copy of the Paranoids "Miles Song."

According to Andrew Gordon's account of "Getting Stoned with Thomas 
Pynchon" when Pynchon was "stoned" his music of choice (at least from 
that which was available on the jukebox) was Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade 
of Pale" and the Stones "Ruby Tuesday."

Question for the group: I seem to recall that TRP makes reference in one 
of his novels to playing pool or billards or maybe a reference to a 
famous player of the games. If anyone knows of this reference, please 
post or e-mail me. Thank you.


Word to the wise: keep your wieght in moderation because you never want 
to be "too fat to frug" or "too slim to swim."
