Chances are if you’ve ever channel surfed across random stations during odd hours of the night you’ve probably caught interviews from Nardwuar, the massive mess of walking plaid and cat scratch vocal chords who has been interviewing bands since the mid-‘80s. He’s from Canada (Vancouver, BC to be exact) and will accost most musicians/bands he interviews with startling facts relevant to each specific artist. He’ll then present gifts that correlate with said startling fact. It’s gimmicky yes, but it’s an angle that’s worked for the last twenty plus years. (Here’s one from ’02 in which Nardwuar talks with Snoop Dogg.) Nardwuar caught up with maybe-new-Juggalo-leader Tyler the Creator down in Austin last week and talked about possible merch ideas (urinal cakes and souvenir shit bags), Jason Dill, James Pants, and presented the young rapper with bacon soap. Hodgy Beats was there (along with a few other Odd Future-ers) And if the amount of expletives that left Tyler’s mouth were any indication, he was actually pretty shocked by the depth of info that Nardwuar threw at him.
