Nardwuar vs. The Mars Volta pt 2 of 2

[@colinkurtz7839]

This is indisputably one of my favorite Nardwuar interviews.

[@MaddestMousse]

It is indisputably one of his best? Or at the very least, the mars volta's best?

[@gumbilicious1]

this is by far the most natural Mars Volta interview i have seen. they usually look quite miserable during interviews, but they look like they are genuinely enjoying themselves here.

[@lylechippah858]

gumbilicious1 its the nardwuar effect

[@emmdeee]

They're so high

[@seang6264]

I genuinely enjoy myself when I am on acid too

[@gizzyandthelizzy]

Omar’s laugh is so cute and innocent I just love them both

[@pjwettel33]

Every Nardwuar interview is a fucking history lesson. So many layers on this one.

[@darrenryan1161]

Yes Pedro the kids cud learn mountain of know how from nardwuar interviews alone, wonder did he ever leave BC to do one not that in maters lol

Nardwuar not knowing Peter Christopherson's nickname was 'Sleazy' is the only instance I've seen of his knowledge failing him

[@seekah1]

The chemistry really hit home with this one. Well done!

[@brandonday2494]

They're so giggly here it's ridiculous. I love it.

We had good weed back then.

[@iamwe7035]

I have been a fan of Atdi for ever. I met Cedric at the Mars Volta album released party in SF back in 04. I bought a ticked at the door from a blond cheerleader type of girl. She won the ticket and a free backstage pass from a phone-call she made to a radio show. Girl had no idea who the Mars Volta were. Sold it to me for twenty bucks . I went backstage, met the band, talked to Cedric. He happens to be born in Redwood city CA . City I moved out to back in December 01 from South America. We spoke Spanish the whole time and shared our music taste with each other.I remember talking about a specific movie called El Topo. Awesome experience.

[@leomack665]

nice dude, what else he told you?, I'm mexican btw but been to Peru last year, I really liked it

[@darrenryan1161]

Thanks you for sharing ur experience for fan that just loved atdi before they went on to other endeavors

[@ro55reel5]

Cool story man, El Topo, Yes!!

[@iamwe7035]

@@leomack665 I remember talking about his voice that night. There was a blender on the table and lots of oranges and lemons around it. He mentioned his voice was meh that night. They did not play Concertina. I asked him about that. He went back to his voice. Really cool guy. This was back before iphones though man. otherwise I would have a photo with him.

"shut up, cedric!" lmao. Omar freakin banged Wynonna Ryder!!!! LMAO

[@fugamantew]

Legendary stories from a legendary life. People on the west-coast really got an intense liking to this band and the one prior-thus the stories began, and got epic thereafter.

[@obediahabisua2962]

'Yeah thats me! Im the little guy!' Gets me everytime 😂

[@DarlingPhenylethylamine]

Observations. 1) Likely Nardwuar's best interview. 2) Cedric and Omar take their craft seriously and it seems they've occasionally come across as being pretentious, but really I think they're an alright bunch, particularly here in a somewhat natural setting as opposed to the corporate day-in-day-out interviews. 3) Think this was the most comfortable anyone has been around Nard, easy-going. 4) Foreign people are generally nicer people. 5) Winona Ryder, hm.

[@dillonskye3236]

Darling Phenylethylamine 6) Acid... so much acid...

[@DarlingPhenylethylamine]

Ha, yeah possibly so. Brings their true selves out though.

[@DNAhiphopper]

for sure

[@DarlingPhenylethylamine]

nard wuar

[@MaddestMousse]

@Dillon Skye I reaalllly don't think they're on acid here, like I would highly doubt that. Why do you say that even? Cause they're in a good mood? Doesn't really make sense, what makes you think they're tripping? If they're high on anything they're probably just baked or maybe on some sort of upper, does not seem like they're on acid at all really.

[@FallingInLine]

Nice to see a band as successful as these guys stay grounded. Caught myself giggling along with them the whole time.

[@Liface]

Haha, I love Cedric's analysis of what the fans notice, "everything but the music!"

[@defyvoxpopuli]

Holy shit. This is the best interview I've ever seen of Cedric and Omar. Possibly the best interview ever. Finally, someone who doesn't suck. You rule, dude.

[@samfoot7554]

honestly some of the best videos on youtube . the human serviette is unmatched.

[@matthewbeach2952]

Dude I did not expect this to be so good. Seems like it’s not only the best Mars Volta interview, but one of the best nardwuar interviews as wel

[@Benend1991]

Wow, this is such a crazy time capsule. Love this.

[@ryanwoods1220]

This is probably my favorite interview you have done, one of my favorite bands, highly entertaining

[@TropicalCaterpillar]

8:09 such an unnecessarily long laugh from both of them after that whole ordeal, I love it.

[@DeadeyesX311]

best nardwuar interview

[@paulmccafffery5231]

Nard's finest hour. Funny interesting and very very entertaining.

[@WhiteKnight4171988]

I think what made this interview awesome is the fact that Nardwaur know's so so much about the music world and it makes cedric and omar actually enjoy talking to him. Interviewers do so much better when they know as much or more than their interviewees when it comes to music because they ask the right questions.

[@kinneyclausnitzer2791]

the shrooms are kicking in for the volta

[@checkle1]

it's always an amazing interview when nardwuar's research hits on all points

[@cadgerphilosophic326]

Saw them open for SOAD. One song was like 14 minutes, and I somehow enjoyed every second.

[@FollowersofDamu]

This dude is funny and he obviously knows his shit. Keeps the conversation lighthearted and rollin. Best interview I've seen of TMV.

[@Depuratumba]

this interview is awesome! love to see them having such a great time

[@buenosdiassoyluisdiaz]

The siconization in "cup" is just lovely 4:40

[@jevinday]

So there was a moment in the history of the world where The Mars Volta and Nardwuar's band played music on the same stage? I'm just gonna go sit over here and die happy. Goodbye world, it's been a great time.

[@AndrewDasilvaPLT]

***ATDI and Nardwuar's band

[@Barncore]

Yep, definitely the best interview for mars volta. I think Mars volta appreciate a guy that isn't a generic interviewer. Probably why they're always laughing and enjoying it so much. Cool to watch.

[@Pantano63]

For anyone wondering the Julio Cortazar book is "We Love Glenda So Much and Other Tales"

[@Proosdagel]

wow they mentioned don caballero, fucking amazing. this is probably the best interview I have ever seen of TMV, nardwuar is pretty awesome.

[@esmixiao]

HAHAH THEY ARE SO LIT

I genuinely never thought of a video where Nardwuar would interview Cedric and then bring up 2 girls 1 cup. But here I am

The Mars Volta is the best herpes I could've ever caught!

[@inaudiblefx323]

The Mars Volta is like herpes. fucking genius. best TMV interview so far.

[@LovePH926]

This is hilarious, great interview!

[@RoelHovenga]

I think Nardwuar has the perfect approach to interview them. Humour, he knows what he's talking about and he doesn't say like: I LOVE YOUR MUSIC.

[@JaziB]

Man I hope Nardwuar interviews SOAD one day so he can ask Daron about the little guy pushing the pedal.

[@idonteatcheetos]

"Maybe they're pushing other things but not that" lmfao

[@Reneromero08]

You can tell how smart these guys actually are.

[@ohilikeyou]

I just want to point out how quick Nard is on his toes at 0:53 Nard asks if there's a kettle on stage and Cedric answer's "yes there is, hot water" and Nard, quick and ready with the question of "well what are you drinking though" in which he quickly realizes his question is answered and without missing a beat launches in this rapid fire tollbooth of follow up "would u ever add any tea to that What are your fav teas Would u drink camel mile and fall asleep Have you ever fallen asleep?" Genius^^

[@orgness]

they all sound stoned LOL. " yeah i traded a hit of acid for this tatto " LOL

[@glass12]

like many of his books Octaedro is a compilation of several short stories, in this case 8 stories that's why is called Octaedro. Cortázar plays with many themes in the book from death to dreams. You should read it. The stories are all fill with, how the ordinary becomes something fantastic. Only for readers who are willing to create their own interpretations. In the same as with the Mars Volta music.

[@leonardotheturtle6711]

Oh man, I didn´t know these guys are this awesome! No wonder I love pretty much everything they do (because apparently I also love the talking they do!)!

[@gbrooks2]

[@VeggyZ]

They're pretty funny.

[@philalethes]

This is beautiful

[@HipsterFriend]

@Gliebhard I dunno how much Spanish you speak, but Castilian Spanish and Mexican Spanish can be very different at points, so Cedric might be referring to the idea that the Blade Runner language could take from each. Or maybe they're just way too stoned.

[@JaziB]

If you listen to the interview on the website he showed them other records between Magma's and Throbbing Gristle's but they're edited out in this video. I'm not sure if that was a great idea because it makes it seem like Narduwar considers Gristble to be a prog rock band, when in reality they were an industrial band.

[@dtegg91]

I don't think I have ever seen the two of them laugh so much lol

[@glass12]

OMG! Thats true! I love that book, I hope there's a connection between both. That would be Epic!

[@stabu18]

Not anymore. Not since ages, he's cleeeaaan

[@Computerdisplay]

lol...well your right, but there is more than 600 mexican dialects completely different to spanish with different roots (i am mexican), how curious...cedric is the one who actually HAS mexican ascendance, but he speaks a lot less spanish than omar...(puertorican...i think they speak spanish AND english down there) who talks fluently (with "acento costeño" like he said)

[@samurai641]

I laughed my ass off at the end. Pure gold.

[@mojoandpolly]

Just to point out what maybe Omar, Cedric, and Nardwuar failed to mention is that I Am Spoonbender released on Gold Standard Laboratories (that album too) the same indie The Mars Volta were signed to.
