Artist: Lindsay White
Hometown: Corcoran, CA
Latest Album: Lights Out
Personal Nicknames: Annie, but only my family calls me that. I keep pressuring my wife to come up with something more creative than “babe,” but no luck yet.
What song do you wish you had written?
Monetarily speaking, probably something like “White Christmas.” But for the song’s sake, “I Know” by Fiona Apple. I have to mop my guts up off the floor every time I hear that song.
Who would be in your dream songwriter round?
No fair, this is too hard! Okay: Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, and the spirit of Amy Winehouse. Also maybe Jay-Z or Haim to provide a little levity during intermission.
If you could only listen to one artist’s discography for the rest of your life, whose would you choose?
Dylan’s music speaks to me differently as I get older, plus he has a bajillion albums. It’d probably be five years before I started missing other artists’ music.
How often do you do laundry?
I wait til the last possible pair of clean underwear, so typically every three weeks.
What was the last movie that you really loved?
I just saw Moonrise Kingdom and got a kick out of the story, the acting, and the style.
If you could re-live one year of your life, which would it be and why?
I want to say I’d go back and tell my 24-year-old self, “DON’T GET MARRIED! YOU’RE A LESBIAN, DUMMY!” Then I’d spend that year in an identity crisis, figure my stuff out a little earlier, and perhaps meet my wife with more time to spare on the ol’ biological clock.
What’s your go-to comfort food?
I never met a cookie I didn’t like.
Kombucha — love it or hate it?
I hope I don’t get my hippie folksinger card revoked, but I’ve never even tried it.
Mustard or mayo?
Mustard. However, I feel very strongly that one should be notified of its yellowness or dijonery before being served. I don’t want to be surprised by my mustard.
