Chuck Klosterman is a writer currently living in Portland. His great new book, The Nineties, is out now. We chat about Donald Glover stepping out topless, unusual music in the Equinox locker room, his orange-colored writer's cabin in the woods, CD long boxes, watching some track & field races with beer, we encourage Chuck to write a screenplay about Las Vegas sports betting, people never stop reading a book because its too short, music sounds too perfect now, what age people stop checking for new music, being interviewed by Rick Rubin for 4 hours, Taylor Swift is more calculated than most, his 90's obsession with postmodernism, he's been waiting to interview Axl Rose so long that he's kind of over it now, when did centrist pragmatism become such a bad thing? And we figure out if Chuck's a wife guy or a dad guy.
