"Stuck in the Middle With You" is perfectly apt for example; and the radio DJ just adds this neat texture that both adds to the film's atmosphere and sort of breaks up the film in nice chunks.

100% true. Makes it very effective. It's a hilarious song for torture.

I did like the non-linear storytelling - just not that it was so dialogue-heavy early on, when I was still trying to figure out who was who. I don't like rewinding and watching again and again just to understand what was said. And I was honestly expecting Tarantino to show the actual heist toward the end of the film - but you're right. The budget led to accidental genius. A straightforward heist would have hindered the theater of the mind, which in turn means the movie stews in your head for less time. This is a thinking man's heist movie - and that makes it more enjoyable and less straightforward. I just wish they'd shown a little more earlier, so I could actually picture more parts of it as the plot went on. But maybe that was just my expectation. A rewatch would probably get me to appreciate even more for what it is.

Also, meant to post this last night, but here's my setup with the light on (the only light on during movies is the lava lamp):
