19 Rounds with...Christopher Wolford

Amy Rossi

Music editor Christopher Wolford answered 19 questions. Though it was tempting, I didn't cheat and ask the 20th.

1. Early bird or night owl?

A bit of both.

2. What was your worst haircut?

Any of them between the time my hair started thinning until the day I started buzzing it.

3. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Yikes, that's a tough one. I would say Bright Eyes' "I Believe in Symmetry." I discover something new every time I listen to it.

4. Can you roll yo...

Now Playing, Part 1

May 16, 2017

Amy Rossi

Each month, we'll ask our contributors what's the last thing they played, watched, listened to, consumed. And in each of their responses, there's a story. The paths that might take, what they leave to the imagination -- well, that's up to each writer. 

Dylan Brie Ducey - "The Dare"

BUT, w...

Amy Rossi

We conclude our celebration of our Split Lip FAM by rounding out the FAMsgiving guest list. The question is: If we had a FAM Thanksgiving, what role would you play that day and what would you bring? The answers are a reminder that we wouldn't trade our FAM for anything.

Amorak Huey - "Fifteen Letters to the 56th-Best Rock Song of All Time"

I love Thanksgiving! Best meal of the year. My role would be to tell stories that require a bit too much background and context to be meaningful to anyone else and t...

Amy Rossi

We continue our celebration of of wild, wonderful FAM by planning FAMSgiving. (Check out Part 1 if you missed it!) We asked them: If we had a FAM Thanksgiving, what role would you play that day and what would you bring?

Tyler Barton - "DJ Poems"

If we had a Fam Thanksgiving (which we should totally try to make happen) I'd be the uncle-in-law who shows up early under the auspices of trying to help out with things but really I'm just lonely and bored and not into sports and get anxious about the party so...
