Usually a twentieth anniversary means you and your spouse head to Bermuda or your company honors you with a gold watch. If it's a birthday, and you live in the States, you get jack shit but another year of waiting before you can legally purchase 40 oz. malt liquor at your favorite corner store. If you're a certain band from a certain coffee-loving city in the Pacific Northwest, it means you get a deluxe, remastered, reissue of your first album, ya know, the one before that dude from Foo Fighters joined. (That dude rules!) The folks at Sub [...]

Nardwuar is insane. How the hell is anyone capable of knowing so much about his/her interviewees? Regardless, he conducts yet another crazy interview, this time with Nas at the Vancouver stop of the Rock The Bells tour. Nas was one of the first handful of artists that got me into hip-hop and he still remains [...]

(The following interview was conducted and transcribed by Rick Vanderveerdonk of 1919 Hemphill ) Nardwuar the Human Serviette is a Canadian radio show host who has been interviewing bands and famous people for over twenty years. The amazing thing about him is he always knows wild obscure facts about whoever he's interviewing which usually shocks and/or over impresses the interviewee. He also brings them presents and incorperates different props with his questions. But not in that bad Carrot Top way. If you do a google search of "Nardwuar vs. [...]
