That's my cue to propose a sound track for AtD: Hazmat Modine's debut CD,
Bahamut.  It's a little hard to describe, but it's a blues/klezmer band made
up of harmonicas, various guitars, mandolins, and brass instruments, and on
several of the tracks the Tuvan Throat Singers (Huun-Huur-Tu) join in.
Trust me, this is extremely Pynchonesque music.
