The iconic interviewer Nardwuar the Human Serviette hosts Nardwuar’s Video Vault at The Broadside on October 26. But first, Associate Editor William Archambeault turns Canada’s greatest interviewer into an interviewee (including a few gifts).
Willie vs. Nardwuar
Nardwuar the Human Serviette is an odd one. Beginning with a humble Friday slot at the University of British Columbia’s radio station CiTR in 1987, Nardwuar has grown to become one of Canada’s most…

"...As a weirdo rocker in New Orleans, I think it’s worth the cost of admission just to see Paul McCartney next to an Eyehategod poster."

My @antigravitymag.bsky.social interview with @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social is online now! It was lots of fun to dig into some odd topics with Canada's most notorious interviewer and even present him with a few gifts.

It is an absolute honor (and quite surreal!) to announce that I got to interview the one and only @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social for @antigravitymag.bsky.social ! It was a privilege to turn the tables on him and come up with all kinds of odd questions for Canada's most notorious interviewer. (1/3)

T.A.C.K. are a ramshackle punk duo from New Orleans who smash trash can lids, model themselves after dads who hang out in front of Tractor Supply, and found each other through a mutual love of the Gories and Country Teasers.

Now on see/saw, a conversation in NOLA with Willie Archambeault.
t.a.c.k., the new orleans trash can punks who love fishing dads
The trash can punk duo from New Orleans discuss their aesthetic, mutual love of the Gories, and what the name (maybe) stands for.

I caught the second Acid Bath reunion gig last night. It's surreal that a local metal band sold out The Fillmore for two nights during Jazz Fest season!

Yesterday: Bo Dolis Jr, Kermit Ruffins, and James Andrews played at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Afterwards, anthropologist Helen Regis talked about Jazz Fest map making at the Jazz and Heritage Center. Check out Alex McMurray's map!

Hey y'all! I recently returned to New Orleans after three years in Osaka, Japan! Last month, Osaka University awarded me a master's degree in musicology for my research on musical connections between New Orleans and Japan! Here is a picture of me with my advisor Yusuke Wajima after my grad ceremony.
