Songs, Music and Artists in Inherent Vice
Although there's a playlist for Inherent Vice on Amazon.com, apparently provided to Amazon by Mr. Pynchon himself [1], the links just take you to where you can buy the music. This is a playlist to hear the music, thanks to YouTube, read the lyrics, thanks to LyricWiki, and learn about the artists and songs, via Wikipedia. The songs are organized below by the page on which they are found. Enjoy...
There is a "Inherent Vice" Rdio Playlist if you use that streaming service.
There is a Pynchon Wiki Playlist of Thomas Pynchon's "Inherent Vice" on Spotify if you use that streaming service.
