“And I can't be running back and fourth forever between grief and high delight.”
J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

 Ribbon Drive, by Avery Mcdaldno is a game built around mixtapes and road-trips. This story takes place over the course of two mixtapes. In this episode John gives a prompt at about 9 minutes to begin playing the mixtape in sync with the show, but it doesn't need to sync up perfectly.

  2. The Good That Won't Come Out - Rilo Kiley
