klaxon's gravity's rainbow

[John BAILEY]

The song's not really got much lyrical interest to Pynchon fans, but at
least they've started their homework:

[Interviewer] What about Pynchon? Has Thomas Pynchon been in touch? 
[Klaxons dude] No, he hasn't. Have you read Against the Day yet? 

I haven't. Have you? 
I read about 300 pages and then I started drinking again. It's the first
book I've ever actually taken notes on, to try and remember characters.
I think I'm gonna try and read it again next week. 

With Gravity's Rainbow, I had the impression that about 20 people had
written that book. Did you notice that at one point, that the main
character (Slothrop) actually disappears for about 200 pages? 
I specifically remember this as the point when my shift at work ended,
and I went to work the next day and he'd dissappeared. And I was like,
have I just fucking lost it or has Slothrop gone? I specifically
remember it and thinking that I'd lost my fucking mind. He was gone. And
thinking that someone had just fucked with the pages of the book I was
reading. 

Did you see Pynchon on The Simpsons? 
No, to be honest I never watched The Simpsons, ever. I constantly have a
problem with, why are these people yellow? I know it sounds stupid.

	Anyone know if the Klaxon's song relates to the book?
