My Take
Nardwuar is one of my favorite eccentrics in all of media. A UBC-trained journalist who also fronts the garage rock band the Evaporators, he is plainly multitalented, but his interviews are where genius lives. He unearths obscure details that his own subjects have forgotten, then hands them back with gleeful precision. That research is equal parts love and obsession. Charging at musicians worldwide in loud tartan gear, he has built a persona nobody can imitate. Every time I watch him dig, I come away in awe of the sheer devotion behind his craft.
