I’m so glad people are catching on to how great Nardwuar is. He makes me proud to be Canadian. If you’ve never watched/heard Nardwuar do his thing, you’re in for a treat.

I particularly recommend any of his interviews with Snoop Dogg. Nardwuar has interviewed Snoop 4 times now and the two have a wonderful rapport together. You can check out all their interviews here. Oh, and naturally there’s a picture of Snoop, Nardwuar and Bishop Don Juan on the page. Snoop has a habit of stealing any records Nardwuar brings to an interview.

Here’s Nardwuar’s 2nd interview with Snoop, from 2002:

The video for Korn’s “Twisted Transistor”with Lil’ Jon, David Banner, Xzibit and Snoop subbing in for members of the band, amusingly enough, features a Nardwuar look-a-like getting punched out after asking Snoop (as Munky) if he has an anger management problen. Fast forward to 3:45.

He did an amazing interview with ?uestlove around the time Game Theory came out. I’ve embedded the first part of the four-part interview.

Also: If you’re a fellow Canuck, come see Nardwuar on tour with his band, the Evaporators. If you’re not familiar with their stuff, the Evaporators play goofy, energetic garage-rock. Great stuff. Tour dates below:
