Quantcast
Dinosaur Jr. @ First Avenue
November 20, 2009 – 10:59 am | No Comment

The Amherst trio had towers of amps stacked up all over the stage, including one that was pointed directly towards front man J Mascis, in case his monitors weren’t providing him enough of his own guitar sound. And not having enough sound has never really been a problem for the group, and it certainly wasn’t on this evening as the band tore through a fiery 90 minute set that spanned the band’s entire career.

It was his absolutely distinct interviews with the celebrities, rock stars and even the average schmuck (but for the most part, celebrities and rock stars) with which Nardwuar carved a name for himself within the scene. He’s hosted the likes of Gwar, Snoop Dogg and Jello Biafra. He conducted Nirvana’s last Canadian interview. He is the man, the myth, the…no, he’s just Nardwuar!br /br /This two disc set collects over five hours of Nard’s greatest interviews, moments and mix-ups. The two made-for-TV span style=”font-style: italic;”Nardwars/span episodes, hosted by Sloan’s Chris Murphy, takes care of the “greatest hits” side of things. But that leaves a mere few hours to examine and relive Nardwuar’s ongoing gift giving fiasco with Snoop Dogg, his record collecting one-upmanship with Jello Biafra, his overcoming a brain hemorrhage, and his insanity with Henry Rollins.br /br /Also featured in the set are various pieces of live footage and music videos from Nardwuar’s bands, The Evaporators and Thee Goblins (Thee Dublins, Thee Skablins, Thee Dis-Goblins, and so on and so forth). The Evaporators, a favorite of mine, play a wild, upbeat show that greatly mimics Nard’s insane intensity…oh and the band features members of The New Pornographers and The Smugglers, not bad, huh?br /br /span style=”font-style: italic;”Doot Doola Doot Doot…Doot Doo!/span is a definitive piece of work summing up the tremendous amount of effort the man has put forth in his efforts with Much Music, CiRT FM and various magazines. If only it were a 4 or 5 disc set we would get to relive some of my favorite interviews with the likes of Andrew WK, Ian MacKaye and The White Stripes in their entirety. But I’m definitely not complaining!br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/1600/4.5%20stars.jpg”img style=”cursor: pointer;” src=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/200/4.5%20stars.jpg” alt=”" border=”0″ //abr /br /a href=”http://culturebully.blogspot.com/2006/03/qa-narduwar-from-evaporators.html”Culture Bully QA with Nardwuar/abr /br /a href=”http://nardwuar.com/audio/interviews/real/ian_mackaye.ram”Nardwuar vs. Ian MacKaye (08/03/01)/a span style=”font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(Real Audio)/spana href=”http://www.nardwuar.com/audio/interviews/mp3/media/awk.mp3″br /Nardwuar vs. Andrew WK (09/28/02)/a span style=”font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(mp3)/spanbr /a href=”http://nths.temp.powweb.com/audio/interviews/mp3/media/gwar.mp3″Nardwuar vs. Gwar (10/27/02)/a span style=”font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(mp3)/spanbr /a href=”http://nths.temp.powweb.com/radio_show/nw050708.mp3″Nardwuar vs. David Cross (08/18/05)/a span style=”font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(mp3)/spanbr /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/1600/Nardwuar%20and%20Neil%20Young.jpg”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;” src=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/320/Nardwuar%20and%20Neil%20Young.jpg” alt=”" border=”0″ //a
