Interesting. Would have thought the worst interview was where the guys from Blur were going to beat him up.

And finding a long lost VHS tape is the most on-brand thing for Kingsgate Mall.



Sonic Youth were dicks to him too.

Honestly whenever I’ve watched an interview with a musician I like they’re mostly either matching his energy or just pleasantly surprised.

Whenever I’ve heard of a bad interview it was never an artist I particularly enjoyed… or even heard of.


Henry Rollins is another good one - I still enjoy watching the expression change on his face when he realized that Nardwuar actually knew his stuff, but he had gone too far down the path of tough guy to save the interview.


Both of the Henry Rollins interviews. The second one really reveals something about Rollins: he accepted a second interview knowing exactly what to expect and nevertheless couldn't help behaving like a dick.


Narduar changed his style over the years. Today, he’s a lovable goof who’s all about gifts, research and warm fuzzies.

Back in his earlier days, he’d ask intentionally annoying and provocative question as a form of performance art. That some people would react badly seemed to be part of the plan.


Sonic Youth were dicks to him too.

No they weren't. That's just a meme.



Disagree, and from the way the Nard was handling the situation (basically taking it all in stride) I don't think he saw that way either.


Name checks out, reference to Kingsgate Mall checks out, are you a spy!?


Been a fan of Nardwuar since his CiTR days :-)


CITR! There be some 80s memories.
