Many thanks go to the (sadly incomplete and periodically inaccurate) song
list at Pynchon Wiki. It missed out some very obvious ones but...what can
you do. I filled in the gaps that I noticed, and this was still a helpful
resource.

_Inherent_Vice
Also, Pynchon himself has compiled a playlist (well, more of a shopping
list...) at amazon.com.

It's far from complete, though, and it contains a few of the fictional songs
he created for the book, so I think this would be more of his personal mixed
CD than anything else. Oddly enough, he lists "Telstar" by The Tornados,
even though it's not mentioned anywhere in the book (and since it's an
instrumental, I'm sure nobody quoted it either). My guess is that he just
really likes the song and thinks it'd fit just fine playing in the
background of one of many bar scenes. I'm cool with that; the song is a
pretty awesome rocker, and I stuck it at the end of my playlist. Do with it
as you please.
Anyway, enough of that. Enjoy the complete song track. Maybe eventually I'll
get the Vineland one done, too. (The Crying of Lot 49 is another
possibility, but I have a feeling it'd be very short...more of an EP.)
