This is Nardwuar:

The Nard!

Nardwuar The Human Serviette - possibly the most important pseudo-celebrity coming straight out of Vancouver BC - has made a name for himself in the journalism world by asking the kinds of questions that nobody would dare to, or think to ask.

For instance, in an interview with Crispin Glover, he purportedly asked “Do you sleep in a coffin full of tar?” That’s pretty much the best question ever asked of ANYONE.

Nardwuar recently released a 3-disc DVD set of his interviews on Alternative Tentacles , and to commemorate the auspicious occasion, I interviewed him for Synthesis Magazine. We’ve had sporadic e-mail exchanges since then. Today he gave me a pleasant surprise by sending Synthesis his 2006 Punk Rock calendar…

…along with a totally sweet handwritten note:

He highlighted it himself, for emphasis. I count seven excalmation marks in this note, which is pretty much indicative of the way he speaks, so it’s legit. (I blacked out his contact info. Sorry folks.)

Of course, when he picked up the phone for our interview earlier this year, he beat me to the punch - before I had a chance to begin, he started interviewing ME about my interview with Ravi Shankar. He’d already done his research on me. I was a bit taken aback (in a good way). That’s just how Nardwuar rolls.
I just think Nardwuar is a blessing to humanity. And can homeboy tell a story!

Check out his radical interview with Snoop Dogg, featuring the Gangsta Rap Coloring Book on his site:

It’s well worth it.
