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
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
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.
God, I worried for her teeth the whole way through this interview, like at any moment he's gonna smack her straight in the mouth with that mic! Joanna...you are wonderful.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
nooooo00000. nardwuar :( joanna??? bitch is a swear word, love hearing the way you sing it too :p. also i was so sure you there was a f*** in a song, but can't find it so guess you are pretty pg sweet :p
+socialist-future I think that's because Joanna doesn't listen to any music but her own for a really long time so he didn't have any influence records to give her.
I think Nardwuar realized it as the interview went on, which is why he broke character at the end so quickly. Must've felt bad for making her feel uncomfortable.
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"
im disappointed with my fellow joanna fans who didnt enjoy nardwuar. anyone whos intelligent enough to get joanna should also be able to understand the genius of nardwuar.
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.
I think this might have been the laziest Nardwuar interview I've seen. Usually he does a stand-up job but he didn't dig deep with Joanna. He just threw two random harp records at her (hoping she'd known one of them) then asked her basic harp questions. There was no deep insight (besides the Paula Abdul tidbit).
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.
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.
@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.
I think you better look up the meaning of "condescending" - btw the guy's been at this so long and knows so much about music & digs up so much cool (& rare!) shit to gift ! to his interviewees I'd say he's waaaaaaay past schtick at this point. But yeah he's fucking weird. And that's a good thing.
Not a fan of nardwuar... He tends to make the artists he's interviewing very uncomfortable. The show turns the spotlight onto him instead of the interviewee which is what it should be about. I get he's trying to be bubbly and interesting or whatever but I think it takes away from the opportunity to learn about the artist. Just my opinion
