just thought I'd drop this only semi related gem here

i can't believe i thought that shit was normal when i was a kid

I don't know what the fuck a Nardwuar is but it reminds me of Al Kaprielian, the pride of New Hampshire

Nardwuar is one of the few things in Canadian culture that isn't some wholesome "aw shucks"-y bullshit.

havent read this thread yet, but I love Narduwar. Being interviewed by him has to be the peak of musicianship. He's just so knowledgeable and lovable.

I think some people just take him too seriously, he's goofy as fuck. I find it entertaining how many artists have the "how the fuck do you know that?" moments during his interviews. Seriously, occasionally some of the facts he pulls out it;s like how the fuck does he know that?

I take it Nardwuar is a bit of a character? Skrillex seems like a really nice bloke yeah :)

his knowledge is crazy, but he seems clueless a lot of time. like he got down the facts but is not that much into whoever he's talking to. plus his mannerism is fairly annoying.

He has to be one of the most annoying people I've ever heard in my life.

If I was Sonny boy, I'd have to restrain myself from punching him is his face, no matter how much swag he loaded on me.

I found that video to be unbearable, because of him.

I was surprised that skrillex seemed really nice, tho.

it baffles me how popular this guy has become. crazy. non vocal compressed to hell fruityloops music. hes as rich as Will Smith for it. wat?!

oh, and gawdy, and gimmicky. Musical equivalent of those stores in the mall with the black light posters.

No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public

Nardwuar is a legend! Also, Skrillex seems like a really nice guy, and yet the h8ers continues to h8...

The haters continue to hate because he's essentially one of us, but popular.

Skrillex seems like a decent dude. He also makes better music than most people on this forum, myself included.

 

lol! It's fast said!

 

No i prefer Chris Moss Acid, Sharee, Gravecell band (Gravecell EP is excellent!!!), Face Culler & Acidburp than Skrillex...

I never thought I'd ever say this, but Skrillex actually comes across (there anyway) as a really sound guy. I mean don't get me wrong, I can't stand his music but he does appear to have an optimistic friendly persona (maybe it's just because the other guy has a voice that would annoy the deaf - the voice sounds really familiar, is it Louis CKs take on the over-the-top sarcastic voice ?)

 

EDIT: (thread merged'd'ded)

there's a pitchfork interview with skrillex from earlier this year. after reading that i've totally jumped from hating and laughing at the guy, to just hating and laughing at his music. it's true, he seems "a really sound guy".

I'm sure Skrillex had a hearty LOL at that...

Skrillex on meeting Richard the first time:

  Quote

Pitchfork: What was it like meeting him?

SM: Well, the first time we met was when I played Lowlands Festival last year near Amsterdam. It was him and then me right after on the same stage. He had this full laser show, and I watched the whole thing in the front of the house. I'd always hear about him never playing songs anyone knows-- just doing white noise for two hours or whatever-- but halfway through his set, he started bringing out tracks from The Richard D. James Albumand I Care Because You Do, even some old Caustic Window stuff. Just going for it. He played

, which is like a really short song that just goes, [sings] "doo-doo-doo, meow-meow-meow-meow." It's the weirdest song. [laughs] But you could tell he was actually trying to please the crowd. Anyway, after my set, I walked offstage and saw him sitting down with a beer. I'm like, "Fuck, if there was any time to just say hi..." So I go up to him: "Hey, I just wanted to say you had a great show." He doesn't even look at me and then walks off. My heart breaks.

If that is true, RDJ is an ASSHOLE

I love RDJ 4 that! Skrillex is a clown! Sorry! lol

The next paragraph

  Quote

After that, we were heading to Australia for the Future Music Festival and, the first day I'm there, I feel this arm on me. I turn around and it's Richard. He's like, "Hey man, good to see you!" He was so nice. He told me he had gotten in a little bit of an argument with his tour manager the day I went up to him. Anyway, we hung out and it was really awesome.

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy

lol

its funny because nardwaur blows and skrillex is great
