Are you sure you aren't thinking about the Thurston Moore (sonic youth)
liner notes that were supposedly written by Pynchon:
----
"One night Johnson, Coley and I were sitting in the backyard with a bucket
of fresh sangria and a few bongloads of some very righteous boo. I'd
brought out a box of my live Sonic Youth tapes and we were arguing about
Ranaldo's tongue vectors in the third quadrant of 'Society is a Hole' [Folk
City, NYC 12/1/82] when one of T. Moore's downstrokes caught our attention.
We ran the tape back and listened to the passage a few times. The subtly
monstrous and mindless GUSH with which T. Moore hit the 'E' chord made it
obvious that his playing was not coming out of a complete spiritual void.
This was a real revelation. It meant that he was capable of actually
unclenching his brain and loosing demons of soul creativity."
-- Thomas Pynchon [sic, "Barefoot In The Head"]
