"In January I left my home for 6 months of wandering and, of course, one of the main things I explored were the infinite shades of night in each new place. What I noticed more than ever is that every night is a finger print – each is unique, with no one the same as another. The sounds tell the stories." - Vanessa Lowe

The secret history of bitcoin? The Toiyabe Mole Man in the mines of ERN, NEVADA? The TRUE story of TOTAL LIARS and the history they invented for themselves. Right?

Really stoked to announce that this week's episode is a swap with The Dirtbag Diaries. They'll be playing a condensed version of the Dice Series, and this is a Diaries episode (Crash & Burn) that seemed to fit wildly well with Van Sounds. As you heard in Dice #5, I too drive a mid-90s Toyota pickup (though mine's a T-100 from 2 years later) and on the dice trip, I rolled over to 300,000 miles.
This is the final episode of a 6 part series in which a friend and I roll dice and drive in a direction based on the dice roll.
