The music writer presents a series of meditations on different aspects of music.

Today, Laura is drawn to examine the connection between cars and music, including Tift Merritt on how she's never grown tired of Traveling Alone, Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney on the car as cocoon, and Laura's own obsession with Jonathan Richman's Roadrunner.

The Replacements – Left of the Dial
Tom Petty – The Waiting
Iggy Pop – The Passenger
Tift Merritt – Traveling Alone
Chuck Berry – No Particular Place To Go
Sleater-Kinney – No Cities To Love
