Not seeing GM's own ref to the above practice, but his buddy Xgau mentions Lipstick Traces [Rough Trade, 1993]:
punk as Ur-political vanguard as per G. Marcus, a man who considers the Firesign Theatre background music (Adverts, "One Chord Wonders"; Mekons, "Never Been in a Riot") *

Marcus has mentioned he wrote Lipstick Traces while wearing out his Firesign vinyl.

I hope the book is not devoid of humor, but I couldn’t have imagined turning it into a comedy, even if I wrote the whole thing while listening over and over to Monty Python and Firesign Theater records, for nine years, until they were all grey and cracked.

I asked the question!
