Tonight on LP4, DJ Gray enjoys a dark Sumatran blend while unpacking a heavy, mysterious box from Perth, Western Australia. Inside, wrapped in soft newspaper, is an odd, asymmetrical snow globe—and a story about a writer who needed a physical piece of a place before she could bring it to life.
Settle in, get comfortable, and let the quiet of the station take over. The watch is covered.
In the first episode, Gray opens a box wrapped in gold gift paper and finds a Maxell UD 90 cassette tape, labelled in blue ballpoint: For the drive. Summer 1987. Tucked inside is a letter from a woman named Claire, writing from Melbourne. She made the tape for her best friend Ro before a coast to coast drive across Australia in a barely roadworthy Holden Kingswood. What she built into it — song by song, over two nights — and what Ro did with the two minutes of silence near the end of Side B, is tonight's story.
