I've seen him be just John. Not in public places, tho.

"check this out little b!!!" *hands him a bunch of records*
"this is great" (lil b has the expression & intonation of someone who really doesnt want to hurt their grandmother's feelings when they get socks for christmas)

It's fun to watch the reactions he elicits on them but really he's not that impressive. Most of the thing that makes up his act is throwing out random and obscure trivia at the artists and watching them struggle to remember it and perhaps appear impressed at someone investing that much time in looking up stuff about them. The reaction is natural and sometimes entertains the artists simply because they're used to people asking the same questions all the time and it feels refreshing to have someone bring out some rare records and ask you about that first band or bad haircut you had.

otm this is also why the jay-z one in partic didnt impress me so much, since the more obscure trivia about him is pretty well known

also why its kind of goofy that he messed up the different Choppa's

yes, sometimes this ^^ but stuff like a groupie's report on Jack White's style in bed, or a totally batshit, off-the-wall string of connections between Slipknot, Ross Robinson, some bass player, Vanilla Ice and Naughty by Nature, is not really designed to "impress" -- more like "provoke," see how much an artist can take before breaking down on camera (Jack White clearly can hang; Slipknot guy w/ long nose, not so much)

if that's what makes up most of your act, you're doing fine.

i have a lesser opinion on sonic youth after seeing their nardwuar innerview.. they keep trying to break his records!

diamonddave85, Friday, 25 March 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link

the mars volta one is pretty fun

diamonddave85, Friday, 25 March 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link

the pulling out records thing is a gimmick but i like to hear the rappers esp because you see what big fanboys they are at heart and just to hear them react to something they love instead of typical music journo questions is really cool and kinda touching to me

Bleeqwot the Chef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 25 March 2011 21:33 (thirteen years ago) link

^ yes

the pharrell interview is so great

yeah, watched this one the other day and had the same reaction. esp when he gets the question about being booed in nyc.

Classic without doubt. Crazy serendipity -- was just reading some old Roctobers on the plane and stumbled upon his genius interview with N.E.R.D. where he blows their minds by pulling out a gatefold Carl Sagan / Cosmos LP: "He was to me what A Tribe Called Quest was to Music. He was just food for the mind. The way he thought and the way he articulated."

Big Krit interview is so damn great it makes me want to run out and buy his records

is there a working version of the Henry Rollins interview online somewhere? the one on youtube is totally fucked (no audio, choppy video — I don't think it's just my computer being weird...?) which was v.disappointing

bernard snowy, Sunday, 27 March 2011 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link

just watched the david cross one, love how genuinely disconcerted he seemed by nardy being so clued into details of cross' life - i could've watched an hour of that

ℳℴℯ ❤\(◕‿◕✿ (Princess TamTam), Sunday, 27 March 2011 14:39 (thirteen years ago) link

okay I watched rollins — kinda killed the posi vibe for me tbh — gonna listen to that dirty projjies cover of "rise above" in a sec to cheer up

bernard snowy, Sunday, 27 March 2011 16:27 (thirteen years ago) link

i just wrote nard to invite him out to $ummer$tage shows and got a response like twenty minutes later with the subject line of "Incoming Nard Message!"

I now love Nardwuar for turning me onto this track:

Basically the blueprint for that 90s Cash Money sound.

uh wow that drag rap cut

Was just listening to Drag Rap again and recognized that "alright, alright" vocal part. Burn One used it to build that Starlito song 'Alright' around.
