There was a mention on the fictionmags list of George
Pelecanos's taste in music being covered in WASHINGTON CITY
PAPER. The article is here, and free for four weeks (watch
for line wrap in this ugly URL):

| Pelecanos' appreciation for music is almost as well-known
as his novels,
| which chronicle a Washington far from filibusters and
presidential
| coronations. The "tour music" section of his Web site
offers a playlist
| much like that in Lost in the Grooves: When he hits the
road to promote
| his new book, Drama City, in March, his CD wallet will be
stocked with
| Slobberbone, Lalo Schifrin, the Isley Brothers, Iron +
Wine, War, and
| Graham Parker. And his previous novel, Hard Revolution,
featured a
| "soundtrack" CD given away at readings.
If you search their archives for "pelecanos" you'll turn up
other mentions, which you can't read without paying. They do
give brief excerpts, though.
