some good stuff there, Alan.

fwiw, I kinda thought the kooky wonderful English singer-songwriter Richard
Dawson was a Pynchon fan. Below a pic of him looking for the spirit of Mr J
Dixon from his twitter feed. confirmed I guess

His latest record with my fav band, Circle, is quite a trip:
https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/richard-dawson-circle-henki/. a
terrific collaboration

The eccentric English songwriter and the prolific Finnish rock group
collaborate for an album that routes ancient plant life into deeply human
stories of toil, tragedy, and the afterlife.
