Did we know about this earlier, or were we (I mean me) out of the loop on this one?
-
Nardwuar's on the directory, but I don't actually see him on the schedule. What day, time?

Right after 7SD on Wednesday nights starting the week of October 12th.

Cool. Thx. Was mistakenly looking at the spring schedule.

Yep! God bless that goober. Also, is he the dork Canadian Dick Clark or something? I was thinking "hmmm ... he's been around a long time"... He's 41 years old for crying out loud and he looks like my kid brother in 9th grade before he shot up to linebacker proportions.

Naduwar is a Canadian Icon.
The Evaporators!

I must admit to not being familiar with Narduwar before his call to the show tonight. Is it just me, or does he sound like Michael K from the Cynics on fast-forward?

His Best Show appearance tonight totally caught me off guard, his raw and pummeling conversation style frankly wore me out. My assessment of him was dim, because I didn't understand. Oh what a fool I was to forget the literal truth that Tom Is Extremely Rarely Never Wrong. I just went and looked at the videos beyond the one I watched before* and I've come to the conclusion that Narduwar has clearly got The Juice. I'm embarrassed I didn't catch it immediately.
Furthermore, I think this initial reaction of mine is possibly just the first stage of the trick he pulls, an extended "SO, WHO ARE YOU?" with a microphone in your face. If so, I can't wait to see what else he's gonna pull out of that damn bag.
*The one Tom posted. At least I THINK it was Tom and I THINK that it was on the S&W blog. Can't be bothered to do more than asterisk it.
-
There's a dearth of hyperactive people on WFMU. Therefore, I think Nardwuar will make a fine addition to the station lineup.
And I agree with you, mos, he does sound like a sped up Michael K.
-
Am I the only one who is nonplussed with Narduwar?
Why is he funny? I support his happy/de-pantsing interviewing of the 'Celebs', but I don't laugh.
Am I wrong?
Doot-diddle-doot-doot? ???
-
My favorite part of Nardwuar's Best Show appearance was that he KEPT SAYING JW's name, and you could hear Tom struggling between doing his usual "Who's that?" and being courteous to a guest who he clearly admires. His whispered, mumbled answers to questions about JW made me laugh even while I felt uncomfortable for him.
I watched a youtube video of one of his interviews and for the first few seconds I could've sworn he was a JW character. I was very confused.

Yep it was a classic Nardwuar interview. I'd lay money on him knowing that Wurster isn't mentioned on air.

I don't know who that tranny hooker shaking Nardwuar's hand is though.
-
Nardwuar is an international treasure. His Pansy Division reference after Tom mentioned treating callers with a carrot or a stick was delightful.
Also: Was I hallucinating or did Nard really mention Enuff Z'Nuff and Danger Danger? For a second I thought that perhaps I was on the air.
-
It was beyond exhausting listening to that interview at four in the morning. Never heard of Narduwar before yesterday and so felt a bit trampled by his motormouth (which did remind me of Michael K on speed, the circular breathing is definitely there), and his constant breaching of Best Show etiquette (although to be fair he probably didn't know that). Also I got all stupidly defensive after a bunch of people in the chat started going "WHAAAAT? You've NEVER heard about this genius before?!?!?". I'm sure he's a good guy, it was just an overwhelming first impression (in the very worst sense).

You know what, I bet you're right.
-
Re: Best Show etiquette breach, I think at this point in the show's history, a guest mentioning "Jon Wurster," especially in the context of him being a drummer in the "real world" -- which he is! -- barely registers. In the case of Nardwuar, he did make a reference to JW being Tom's "co-host," but he was basically just trying to determine if JW played drums with A.C. Newman* on the John McEnroe program.
*He didn't. Carl chose Tico Torres for that performance.
-
His band the Evaporators stayed at my punkhouse in 1994. We didn't really know who he was and I kind of lumped in into the pile of fun / weird bands that don't get much success. Then he fell off my radar for 15 years. My point is that he has been as this a looong time and has obviously worked his tail off. He seems to have such a knowledge and respect for the art and the artists (which reminds of Tom and JW).
(Yes, I'm braggin' but where else could I ever share a Nardwuar anecdote?)
-
I tuned in at the end of the show last night and was 100% certain Nardwuar was a JW character. The only thing that made me question that as the call progressed was Tom's response to him. I kept waiting for the call to get JW-call-like (probably in the form of Tom being unable to get the guy to stop talking and end the call) but it never happened. I was shocked when Nardwaur turned out to be a real person. Even after seeing a description of him on Wikipedia during the call, I thought "Wow, Tom and Jon went far with this one, so far that they created a Wikipedia page around him."
I am officially a Canadadummy.
-
I love Nardwar, but he's exhausting. Of course, this makes for some amazing interviews with people who have no idea what he's about. I think Courtney Love is one of the funnier ones.
-
Naduwar's interview with Beck was amazing, "Why are you such a loser?, you seem like everybody likes you, Whats it like being the spokesman of a generation?"
Also the one with Alice Cooper is pure gold.
Can't wait to listen to the Podcast on this one.

Hold on a second -- is he really NOT a JW character? I was listening at work today and was almost 100% sure he was, moreso because he mentioned JW. I feel like this is some sort of elaborate hoax!

Dan, you said and I quote: I feel like this is some sort of elaborate hoax!
I had that very same feeling about a similar situation many years ago....
It wasn't.
I wished it was.

Definitely had the same reaction!
-

Jen Kirkman was saying something to that effect today.
-
I trust the judgment of Tom and FOT's so I'm going to check out some Narduwar on YouTube even though I found his appearance ton the show to be a little hard to bear.
-
I didn't hear last night's show, but I have seen Nardwuar clips before. Today while I was home sick, I went to his site and watched about 30 of them in a row. From what I'd remembered, I was totally prepared to hate it. Then I started noticing how consistent his formula was. He was able to disarm so many musicians just by showing himself to be a (really) informed interviewer who genuinely cares about the backstory and all the big web of connections within music. It was neat to watch him blow so many people's minds, people who are accustomed to being annoyed with unprepared interviewers who don't care much about their subjects. Like I said, everything about his schtick seems hateable at first, then I finally realized his charm, if you could call it that.
-
I had the same experience. He's like JW's Glenn Danzig. You assume the worst, which makes the intelligence and effort put forward all the more impressive.
-
Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore were big bullies. Uncool. :'(
And is anyone surprised Henry Rollins was an aggro douchebag, drinking his Venti Starbucks latte?
-
I too have now caught up with tons of Nardwuar YouTube clips. Almost ruined my entire workday, I was glued for hours. But I'm not complaining, as now I've come around - I GET IT. I do stand by my first impression, but there's no denying his ability to get to his interview subjects. Really entertaining, especially his interviews with people from the hiphop community. You can tell how impressed these jaded guys are when someone comes along and actually has done his homework. Some of the shtick is a bit annoying though, and I can see how that can be off-putting if you don't know the context - there's so many sub-MTV shows out there with whacky hosts and shady intentions that you're bound to be on the defensive when a guy like Nardwuar comes along. Still, that doesn't excuse the absolute assholish behaviour on display in the interviews with Sonic Youth ('91) or Blur ('03!).
And it's almost spooky how much he sounds (not looks, as we know that's rule #1) like JW. I mean really, the pitch of his voice, not to mention the insane pop trivia and everything. Minus the Canadian accent of course.

Well said, Martin. Welcome to Nardville.
-
Sonic Youth (1991) seemed like snobs, but that's also by far the most annoying Nardwuar performance. Bad questions, interrupting, tangential, just a mess all around.
-
I don't think you can fault people for being dicks when ambushed like that. There's a weird aggression to doing this sort of prank-interviewing that puts me off. I know you can spin it a hundred different ways ("He just knows a lot about them, how is that bad!?"), but the fact that it confuses people and makes them feel like they're the butt of a joke? That's just bullying.
It reminds me of Improv Everywhere, where if you don't immediately start clapping and singing along to their food court musical, you are a humorless asshole.
-

2000? Or 2004? Or maybe 1980?
-
I think it's the opposite of bullying in the Sonic Youth video. He's so in the flesh that it makes it profoundly easy for people who are so inclined to knock him down and kick sand in his face. Regardless of how he was asking questions, they, completely unprovoked, broke his rare record and physically assaulted him. How is that defensible?
Of course, compare that to his more recent interview with Sean Lennon where he's badgering a son about whether his mom was writing songs about masturbation and what he thought about her nude photos, and it's easy to see that it definitely comes full circle.

I haven't seen the Sonic Youth one - just a couple where people seem either agitated or tell him to fuck off (I think it was Courtney Love?). I'll check the Sonic Youth one out, but from the way you describe it, you're absolutely right. I didn't know they actually broke his shit - thats awful.

About a year ago I submitted a project to this book called Yarnbombing, published through Arsenal Press. I recently checked out their website and they had a photo series from the Vancouver event Word on the Street. The project I submitted is in photo #2 (the orange collage piece) and Nardwaur is holding the book in photo #4.
Here's the link: http://yarnbombing.com/mixing-it-up
(http://yarnbombing.com/mixing-it-up)
One of those creepy/exhilarating "The Best Show has invaded my life" moments.
p.s. One of the book's editors, Leanne Prain, left a comment at the bottom of the Nardwaur pic that gives a kind of hilarious insight into what it's like to be interviewed by him.
-
Three or four years ago when I lived in Vancouver I had the good luck to attend a screening of Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains hosted by Nardwuar. As you would expect, he introduced the movie with an insanely digressive and detailed series of anecdotes about the making of the movie, which was filmed in Vancouver around 1980. More impressively he also distributed a little pamphlet he had created for the occasion which I've now lost, but which I think was a collection of hardcore/punk show photos from that era taken by a woman who had a small part in the movie (my memory's a bit foggy on that part); she was in attendance and said a few words about being on set. That was a really fun night.
(And to anyone who hasn't seen that film, rent it as soon as you can.)
-
Also, my girlfriend just told me that she was interviewed by Nardwuar in the early 90s when she was on tour with her very-young-at-the-time indie pop band. He asked her what it was like to attend the same church as Chris Murphy from Sloan.
-
I am reminded how awful Jay-Z is by watching his interview.
that guy has always given me the douche chills

It was an art thing. Like Nam June Paik cutting John Cage's tie. ART!

More so than Philly Boy Roy, the Mr. Loophole/Matthew Lesko character sounds EXACTLY like Nardwuar. I guess Lesko sounds a lot like Nardwuar to begin with though.

Sloan's first interview with Narduar (which I think is audio-only) is a great treat - they really don't get it. Granted, it was sometime in the early 90s - I think they've come around since then. When Chris and Jay had a show on the CBC, I seem to remember Chris talking about how he went from being Narduar's enemy to his friend...
Does anyone know if Tom will be getting around to interviewing Rick the Temp at any point?
-
I'm listening to Nardwuar's first WFMU show now. It's good.

Invest in free dough with Matthew Lesko.

by the way, I saw the Evaporators at this big garagepunk fest in las vegas. and the dude from the smugglers whose name escapes me introduced nardwuar s the greatest frontman in the world. i knew who nardwuar was but had never seen the evaporators before so I was very skeptical. Then he came out and proved it. Now, i can hear some of you whining about Jimmy (James Ostergerg, you know him as Iggy Pop) being the greatest alive today, but I've never seen iggy get a big ole room full of rock'n'roll dudes to participate in a giant ring around the rosey. It was one of the best shows I've seen, but also one of the grossest as he likes to body surf a lot and he's very sweaty and very hairy.

The guy from the Smugglers was probably Grant Lawrence, who hosts a radio show and a pretty good weekly podcast rundown of Canadian indie music for CBC Radio 3 (and is not so shabby as a frontman himself). It's worth checking out.

yea, Grant. Yea, I love the smugglers. Grant's pretty hilarious, too. I remember reading his wrapup of the Lookout! 25th anniversary weekend and laughing out loud. I remember during the smugglers set the blonde guitar player did a somersault mid solo. it was incredible. thanks for the link, i'll check it out.

It's on.

I have found my new favorite way to spend 7-8pm Wednesday night. I listened to the Ian MacKaye/Henry Rollins interviews (ie two of the most serious, and sometimes humorless, men in music), and I love how Rollins is like, "You have one question left - make it good", and Narduwar offers to give him his six remaining questions and let Henry pick which one he wants to answer, and somehow Henry ends up answering like eight questions. It's insane.
-
For two D.C. anti-establishment types, Rollins and MacKaye really sounded like politicians at a press conference with all their "Why do you ask?" and "Who told you that?" defensiveness with Nardwuar.
-
So weird. I grew up watching this guy on TV. His interviews were always SO AWAKWARD. Entertaining, but Awkward.
Ah, Much Music.

Perhaps, but I've read plenty of interviews with other folks who probably do that and more without coming across as badly as MacKaye does in the Nardwuar interview. And, of course, we do need to keep in mind that the interview is entirely in step with MacKaye's public persona.

He's a really sweet, genuine dude, and I'm sure he gets tired of answering ANYONE'S questions, much less a coked out Canadian's idea of a joke. I've got the Narduwar DVD, and I like it a lot, but I can only last about 10 min. each time. He's got a rhythm I enjoy, but in very short bursts.
RE: Mackaye, there's just some context that needs to be discussed.
RE: Pecking order for FOT's, I've yet to meet one of you personally, but I'll assume you're good, discourse-driven people, and as long as no attacking/overt personal stuff is brought up, things are fine. Hiearchies. Even on the internet. That's really great!
