Nardwuar is a relatively new character to some. For the past years, the zany Canadian interviewer has reached a whole new audience through the online music community, and he never fails to be entertaining. He also never fails to show up having done some serious research that takes things in some unexpected directions. If nothing else, he takes artists out of their element and exposes a different side of familiar faces. Some find him hilarious, some get obviously agitated, and some seem uncomfortable, as if the script just crumpled itself into a ball, grew wings, and flew out the window.
We’ve seen Nardwuar take on Kreayshawn, Odd Future, Lil Wayne, and Lil B. Even next to the most eccentric characters out there, this guy can hold his own. What you might not have known–he’s been around for a looong time. Hit the jump to watch a young Nardwuar meet Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, and Nirvana. At times, things get a little uncomfortable…
Also, if you’re interested in more Nardwuar, did you know he was in a band? He was. Watch The Evaporators.
Holy shit!
soooo glad he stuck to interviews instead of music
con, you just “nardwuared” nardwuar
LOL that ending was epic. haha
no idea this existed thats awesome! citr is our campus radio station at UBC, and it got a kurt cobain shoutout. nardwuar does a show every week on campus he’s a super nice guy, anyone can stop by and talk with him. i’m gonna go ask him this week about this interview i’d love to hear how it was for him
This video really makes me want a pizza
Kurt changed my life with his insightful and surreal music and lyrics. I only wished he could have stuck around to make more to listen to for future generations. I was compelled to compose a portrait of him In Memoriam recently on the anniversary of his death on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-memoriam-kurt-cobain-and-lane-staley.html Drop in and tell me your memories of his music and how it’s affected you.
Came across this guy a few year back from the buddyhead site. I think he’s great. Good shout!!
I wonder if he needs his friends to tell him who his friends are. On a serious note, that was cool, saw your facebook post and I looked up a bunch of old Nardwuar interviews, some of them are awesome, like this one and the ones with GWAR and Slipknot.
