Nardwuar vs. Joanna Newsom

[@deoilers]

Joanna Newsom is known to be extremely private, so I can't blame Nardwuar for not being able to find out too much about her tbh

[@frogery]

she has the power to unfreeze narduar

[@mornincorp.2116]

Lmao! I came down here to the comments as soon as she said it and sure enough...

[@ohmygoditscrapman9631]

I'm a classy guy..

[@patrickbrogan3655]

Maybe Nardwuar set her up for that on purpose, he's a class guy too...

[@payau123]

Woah, she sounds so different when she's talking compared to singing.

[@xsadsappysuckr6710]

[@ThePuddleJumpr]

how is he at all condescending? Every single nardwuar interview he shows great interest and great respect for the artist

[@ZaikuChainsaw]

I actually love Narduar, his interview style really gets a lot out of the musicians and frankly the guy just knows his shit, he is a fucking musical encyclopedia

[@iluvugoldenblue]

not only did we get a rare nardwaur move, but we also got a rare nardwaur canadian "eh?" 7:24

[@ozgesolmaz752]

i have literally seen no one as lovable and cute as she is

[@JessJArt]

Nardwar is well loved in Vancouver BC. He's practically a national treasure. Love his interviews.

I was surprised how sarcastic she was at times. I guess Nardwuar isn't an easy guy to be graceful around.

[@billy4747]

Thank you Nardwuar for introducing me to this AMAZING artist.

[@Clickie13]

she really is perfect

[@DubiousDrewski]

She's a brilliant songwriter. If you don't understand why she's brilliant, it's only because you haven't listened to one of her albums.

[@leonthethird7494]

Which one?

[@DubiousDrewski]

@@leonthethird7494 Oh wow. 10 years later I have to defend my random opinion. I would never talk like this now about any artist, but to answer your question: 2010 'Have One on Me' and 2015 'Divers'. The two best albums I've heard in my life. Even now in 2023.

[@redmondartwork]

SHES SO LOVELY. i cant take it.

[@soj22]

that ending was actually hilarious!! glad it got progressively more funny

[@Subparanon]

Well this settles my question of if Joanna Newsom was a Harpo fan. Let me just say this once. Harpo is a fucking GOD of harp playing. He was my favorite Marx brother. My favorite parts of all the movies were the moments when Harpo was able to do a solo piece, he played with such joy and beauty it brought tears to my eyes. His wife and he were unable to have children so they adopted MANY and he was such a kind and loving, happy soul. Thumbs up if you love Harpo Marx.

[@JordanGordon-Naish]

OMG NARDWUAR MOVED!!

[@ljc71]

Wow this is amazing 😂 Owen Pallet playing peach plum pear is actually my first taste of her music. Once I found that it was a cover I immediately looked into more of her music; I’ve been in love with it since. As a writer I love how she says she wants to convey the emotion instead of using swear words as a cheap out. I have so much respect for her. This was a great interview

[@t.c.bramblett617]

haha "Blood ever?" that should be the main question asked to every performer in every interview.

[@ekowbartjnr]

She's so charming!

[@tvtitlechampion3238]

Isn't she, though?

[@thenoiseking]

I fucking love Nardwuar, but I would never be able to do an interview with him because I'd probably burst into laughter every five seconds.

[@plemgrubern]

they're both adorable

[@Gnarwar11]

Wow she's pretty

[@soj22]

she's humouring him forsure. the endings always kill me

[@cheese671]

When it works its so good. When he gets details that the celebrity remembers well and he surprises them with things, it's really good.

[@ObscuraHailOfficial]

She is smoooooth

[@ilikespacedinosaurs]

Sparks is Nardwuar's favourite band? That makes a lot of sense.

[@naugles89]

"I bleed sometimes" i was waiting for "like usually once a month"

[@cheesecakelasagna]

This is probably Nardwuar's shortest outro pose wtf.

[@ignatzz1]

Its like watching a popular girl at school talk to the social outcast

[@garys.1415]

The VERY end made it worth it! Adorable girl!

[@ghoulinthegraveyard399]

Hey Charles. Since in the last week that I have viewed Nardwuar and his interviews; I am astounded at the tenacity and research he puts forth towards his interviews. Your example of Rollins is a perfect example. In the 98 interview Rollins gives him a stipulation of two more questions, and ends up getting so much more.

[@Canyon_Lark]

Who’s Charles?

[@RaygunShaun]

Anyone inspiring to be an interviewer should watch and learn from the master, Nardwuar. Most interviews don't know shit about who they're interviewing. Nardwuar takes the time to thoroughly, thoroughly research his subjects. Haters gon' hate.

[@scarredsky]

this is my first time watching her interviewed. for some reason i was expecting her to have this really, really, reaaaaaaaaally high pitch voice. i'm kind of surprised. nevertheless, i am sincerely glad her voice isn't high pitched and she is absolutely beautiful and obviously down to earth.

[@minukarodrigo]

She sounds like Kim kardashian for some reason while speaking lol, but still joanna is wayyyy better

[@blahblah24681357]

weak interview for nardwuar - shame he didnt do her justice. he couldve brought out rumours by fleetwood mac - shes said before it was the first pop music album she got into. or he couldve brought out blue by joni mitchell - shes referenced it on her album have one on me, and said in interviews that she loved the piano on that album. he couldve brought out a neutral milk hotel record - shes said before she was obsessed with jeff mangum in high school. even when he asked her if shes ever cursed on a record - on her debut home-made ep, walnut whales, she has a version of en gallop where she repeatedly yells “bitch.” cmon nardwuar lol

[@firvdays7563]

hope I'm not falling for bait, but if she loved or obsessed over these things she would already have them?

Man Nard really had to dig deep this interview.

[@aarossell]

i find it amazing that she doesn't know about Harpo. He's one of the most influential and impressive harpists ever.

[@rumademedoit]

that makes me love her more

[@catlastname8718]

Really late to respond to this but I feel like she just didn't want to get caught in any questions that would imply she knew a lot of his music. So she underplayed her knowledge of him. Just the way I read it.

[@Hamez3000]

I was at a 2003 gig in Leeds and Joanna applied the super glue. Some chap yelled out: "you're so rock n roll Joanna" in a thick West Yorkshire accent. Joanna replied: "why thankyou Sir". Everyone laughed hysterically. Amazing show. She is a true artist. Only Skin is one of the greatest songs I have ever listened to.

oh, but she's a delight!

[@baermtn]

@MrDrSmithJr hehe actually, there's an interview from 2005 where she mentions never really being exposed to Harpo Marx records when she first started playing, so she never had a mainstream view of how the harp was usually percieved.

[@rodriogq]

was by far not the best nardwar interview, but it is worth every second because of Joanna Newsom

[@thegodieinafire]

She's seems pretty intelligent and into the classical harp scene. I feel like Nardwuar doesn't know enough about the classical music scene to be an interesting interview.

[@axonradio8645]

The whole interview being conducted on a SM58 that's absolutely beat to hell is such a vibe and I love it.

hmm, food for thought. I see your point. I guess I don't really put much thought into what makes a good interview/interviewer, but I can totally see that.

[@adolescentdaniel]

Joanna Newsom cusses in Erin. She says 'Hail now--hail to the bitch'. This is the only time I've ever heard Nardwuar make a mistake in his research.

[@griffinslack]

What song? I can't find a song called Erin by her

She is sharp that she played it so straight but she was in on the joke and u coulld see she was enjoying it :)

[@PTS74]

Agreed, but you never see interviews with Callahan so that would be a rare treat.

[@joshuakirkwood666]

Am I living in an alternate universe? I only know Joanna as a pianist, singer, songwriter, comparable to Tori . And if you think I'm wrong, listen to Tori's "putting the damage on"

But Joanna you swore on The Man Who Ran the Town. And it was awesome hot

[@YorVideoSux]

The same could be said about virtually every woman. Very insightful.

[@dondiasco395]

Wow... Are there people seriously considering that Nardwuar the Human Serviette would show disrespect to his guests? That's ridiculous. Do some fucking research. He's been around for decades.

[@Kermode48]

[@ResistingDeath]

She was so boring that it tempted even Nardwuar to unfreeze on camera.

[@Xswaggerificxx]

I love her voice so much

[@Qoontz]

@youngnam the only reason that he's the only one talking is joanna just gave one sentence answers the whole time. Here are some people who thought Nardwuar gave a great interview (some of which even said greatest interview ever): Tom Morello, Snoop Dogg, Nirvana, Michael Moore, Franz Ferdinand, Mars Volta, Josh Homme, Pharell Williams, Drake, Marilyn Manson. Do you honestly believe none of those people are serious about what they do?

[@NOIZ-]

Should be called most graceful lady vs most awkward interviewer..

[@Implosiony]

For someone who worries so much about how she's portrayed in interviews (see the Madonna/Gaga incident), this is honestly the worst style of interview to do. Not that it's his fault, I just think she'd prefer a more mellow, conversational style.
