It's the season of the road trip.
We especially love the misadventures of the classic, dirty American road trip. The aimless tour of greyhound bus stops, red-neck gas stations, and cheap motels. Two-dollar dinners, rolled-down windows, blow pops, and garbled radio.
For our next road trip, we want to be re-reading Denis Johnson's Angels and listening to Kurt Vile's Freeway on repeat.
