Ah! I had forgotten about that convo. No, I finished it ages ago. Interestingly the review (you may've read it) tackles the relevance issue head on and agreed completely with me. Still no. Very impressed and I think some critics are viewing Bleeding Edge as something of a return to form (a return which I think was hinted at heavily in Inherent Vice, which I consider a very good novel).

Yeah, I noticed that was one of the first things mentioned when I skimmed through the article, which is great. I'm really tempted to jump into Mason and Dixon on the enthusiastic recommendation of a Thom Yorke look-alike I met in Marfa several years ago, but I need a break from big books.
