NARDWUAR = "Master of the Interview"
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 11:17 am
I saw a thread about Nardwuar love on another forum and I was wondering if anyone over at ILF has checked him out?
Dude is hilarious, does incredibly DEEP research on his subjects, asks some crazy questions, creates many awkward moments, and squeezes some "Canadian Connections" into every interview. Most bands actually learn something from the guy, and he's blown several a mind during his tenure talking to bands. It's nice to see a guy that actually loves music getting to do interviews and avoiding the generic, mindless questions usually answered a million times over.
Here's a few clips to get you started if you haven't seen him. The Josh Homme interview is the first one I stumbled upon years ago, listen to the first words out of Josh's mouth, classic Homme! These two seem to get along great now day in newer clips and if Nardwuar can win over Homme, he can infiltrate anybody!

Here's another gem. He actually calls Jack out on his groupie conquests, producing evidence from a website and presents it in front of Meg. The look on Meg's face is priceless!
