C/D: Nardwuar

yeah!

somehow ended up watching a Henry Rollins interview w/a friend and the suggested videos had both of Nardwuar's interviews

it's beautiful, he completely reveals the insecurities and cracks in Rollins's shtick! love you Nardwuar

Nardwuar fucking rules.

so glad he recovered, love this guy

seeing him do a video exhibition thing in December, stoked!!

I see Slow have reformed to do something.

Thread bump made me nervous

He's pretty prolific on instagram. Most recently, reposting all the people who dressed as him for Halloween; fun stuff.

missed out on the option to DOOT DOODLE OOT DOOT HEREBY PROCLAIM

Nard's mom was apparently in the ICU for most of 2021, he did an amazing remote interview with the medical team as a benefit for the hospital

just an absolute marker beacon for how to be a good human

he's recently back with some very good interviews with Flo Milli, jpegmafia, J Cole.

I only just learned that the Doot Doodle Oot Doot bit is called "Shave and a Haircut."

HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?????

good on nardwuar. exemplary.

HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?????

Not since I was a kid. I know what I'm doing this weekend, thanks!

lol I've never seen (and tbh still haven't watched) his Ted talk!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkSUazeI2nM

(don't want to spoil for those that haven't seen it, but wfrr? is where i first learned the "shave and a haircut" bit)

his ted talk roolz.

I've always known shave and a haircut, from Looney Tunes cues on down/up. The wiki informs me that, among other facts:

The tune has been used innumerable times as a coda or ending in musical pieces. It is strongly associated with the stringed instruments of bluegrass music, particularly the 5-string banjo. Earl Scruggs often ended a song with this phrase or a variation of it. On the television show The Beverly Hillbillies, musical cues signifying the coming of a commercial break (cues which were in bluegrass style) frequently ended with "Shave and a Haircut". It is the most popular bluegrass run, after the G run.

Johnny's Theme, the music that opened The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, famously ended with the "shave and a haircut" flourish every weeknight for 30 years and 4,531 episodes.

Les Paul and Mary Ford's Capitol recording of "Magic Melody" concluded with the phrase minus the last two notes ("two bits"). Responding to complaints from disc jockeys, Capitol in 1955 released "Magic Melody Part 2"—consisting solely of the missing notes—on a 45, said to be the shortest tune on record/

The original version of "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra (recorded for Capitol Records in 1955) ends with the tune.

lol, this is fantastic, A+++ response

actual lol

nardwuar's GOAT record.

Daniel Kaluuya! was finally wondering which celeb would call nardwuar out.

What are you referring to?

I had to Google it myself. I guess the actor was on Hot Ones, and compared the host to Nardwar, positively.

sorry, yeah the hot ones show. nardwuar on that program would be amazing.

was v anxious for a minute there that narduwar did something terrible

Yeah tbh it was a very cryptic and misleading post...

"Magic Melody - Part II" even has a discogs entry:
https://www.discogs.com/release/22510415-Les-Paul-Mary-Ford-Magic-Melody-Part-II

The label lists the time as "one second". There's a bit of debate as to whether it's shorter than a split 7" with Napalm Death's "You Suffer" on the first side and Electro Hippies "Mega Armageddon Death Part 3" on the B-side:
https://www.45cat.com/record/pro234

But that was a commercial release whereas the Les Paul single was a promo only. As one of the posters points out one second is shorter than a single rotation of a 45rpm 7", so the songs have to be padded out with silence. Unless the groove didn't cover the whole circumference of the record, which would probably be murder on styluses. Stylii?

the Lizzo interview feels like one of the rare times where it's pretty clear who supplied some of the question material.
