Our dear friend and talented musician Rostam returns. His great new record, American Stories, is out now.

We chat about Chris’s run-moshing in Arizona, hoodless hoodies, him befriending our wives, protecting his wrist strength as a multi-instrumentalist and his very heavy first guitar, queer coating > queer coding, our favorite Beatles, we make him defend Pleats Please, how something bad has to happen in the rock doc, his newfound gym gains, a Stir Crazy celeb sighting, and his potentially controversial merchandise.
