How Long Gone

Rhett Miller is a musician, notably as the frontman of Old 97's. He's currently a professor of songwriting at Parsons while still releasing plenty of music. We chat with him from his home upstate about Andy Baraghani's new NYC restaurant Ditto, the PR vs. journalist distraction, the Coachella lineup, what his students think about AI-generated music and what they're writing songs about, him trying to convince his students that he's kind of famous, the effect of Elliott Smith on today's youth, living in L.A. and New York during the two best times of our generation, sharing the stage with Elliott Smith and Fiona Apple, PTA stories, what went down backstage at Beck's Sea Change record release, Dallas' sinister underbelly, having a lot of juice at an early age, when SXSW still mattered to a band, when the A&R guy takes your chick, striking it big in Jeff Tweedy's Chicago, his son asking him what "selling out" meant, and Chris' love of Rhett's first solo record.

Osman Ahmed is a London-based fashion writer and it-girl. We chat with her from her home about Jensen Huang's honey pot, the Supreme Elliott Smith collaboration, the rise of the pu pu platter and other food trends for the year from The Infatuation, Chris' head being wig-ready if he ever chooses to, losing her luggage in New York and dressing herself in various Halloween looks, fighting to keep 5,000-word pieces alive, the homosexual man's vision for women's clothing being unmatched, Republican trade and "Mar-a-Lago face," billionaires trying to craft "taste," and how she "freaks" an Alo set.
