i don't think it's any mystery why naruwar's interviews with ppl who are a part of the 80s punk scene that he was a part of have a different vibe, more adversarial vibe, than the ones he does w/rappers or newer artists...newer ppl see him as this loveable wacky guy and for the 80s ppl more accustomed to that kinda punk humor bit he plays as being sort of faux naive and dickish under the veil of being an innocent

Said it before but..."Nardwuar" is not a persona. He's a real person who behaves and talks like that all the time.

how could you possibly know this unless you were around him all the time...
i mean it's like dr. sphincter type shit right?
i love nard don't get me wrong...i just think he's way better and comes off more genuine w.artists who are outside of his realm
― farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:14 (eleven years ago) link
and as much as i love his stuff he IS being faux naive and dickish sometimes!
― farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
when nardwuar was doing a radio interview with harlan ellison and he dropped some news that a colleague had died and ellison was dubious at first before having to hang up for a bit to process this, nardwuar wasn't doing a sing-songy voice, but it was still nardwuar foisting a nonstop stream of trivia at a guy. so i imagine nardwuar is never really not "on" but he dials it back maybe 20%?

Many people have wished that Nardwuar avoided being dickish and faux naive off air but that is often not the case.

He is, after all, a punk at heart.

Do you guys think Nardwuar doesn't translate well to other parts of the world?
I showed someone in Los Angeles his videos and he said, "Why does he talk that way?" And had a really confused look. His shtick totally went over his head.
I knew a guy whose friend's room mate was Nardwuar. Apparently, he never got out of character. I believe that, but I've also heard people say that he does go out of character some times. The thing about this last part is that I think people mean he is just less in character, but he seems to have fully embraced it 100% of the time. If you listen to or watch him in the 80s or early 90s, you can see his persona transforming into what would now be his staple character. Just my thoughts.
And Nardwuar has some really classic moments. His knowledge on the Canadian/Vancouver punk/metal scene is incredible.

RA seems genuinely interested in knowing about Nardwuar. I've not seen any other interviewee show so much interest.

R.A. is one of those dudes who I can just hear tell old rap stories forever even if i rarely fuck with dude's records, anyone here remember when he had a column in Vibe back in the early '00s?
