Joanna Newsom is known to be extremely private, so I can't blame Nardwuar for not being able to find out too much about her tbh

she has the power to unfreeze narduar

Hearing Joanna say the word 'cock' has convinced me that life isn't THAT terrible.

She has very strong facial expressions. I love it.

1:08 I love the way she says, "Really?"

Woah, she sounds so different when she's talking compared to singing.

she's so beautiful it hurts

It's really weird to think her and Andy Samberg are married.

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

how is he at all condescending? Every single nardwuar interview he shows great interest and great respect for the artist

whoa a nard break at the end

I had a permanent smile on my face all the way through

everything harpo touches turns to gold

i have literally seen no one as lovable and cute as she is

she really is perfect

OMG NARDWUAR MOVED!!

not only did we get a rare nardwaur move, but we also got a rare nardwaur canadian "eh?" 7:24

Nardwar is well loved in Vancouver BC. He's practically a national treasure. Love his interviews.

Berk: You had, a few months ago, Obama on drums! Joanna: *Sincerely confused* I did?

She's a brilliant songwriter. If you don't understand why she's brilliant, it's only because you haven't listened to one of her albums.

that ending was actually hilarious!! glad it got progressively more funny

I was surprised how sarcastic she was at times. I guess Nardwuar isn't an easy guy to be graceful around.

Thank you Nardwuar for introducing me to this AMAZING artist.

haha "Blood ever?" that should be the main question asked to every performer in every interview.

she's like a musically genius lord of the rings elf

Both Nardwuar and Joanna are incredible people.

She's so charming!

Sparks is Nardwuar's favourite band? That makes a lot of sense.

SHES SO LOVELY. i cant take it.

she's humouring him forsure. the endings always kill me

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

This is probably Nardwuar's shortest outro pose wtf.

"I bleed sometimes" i was waiting for "like usually once a month"

She's literally a goddess

I fucking love Nardwuar, but I would never be able to do an interview with him because I'd probably burst into laughter every five seconds.

they're both adorable

When it works its so good. When he gets details that the celebrity remembers well and he surprises them with things, it's really good.

Everybody go cop 'Divers' on Itunes right now.

First time i've ever seen Nard break the pose before the end!

Every time she smiles.....I melt....She should just smile anytime she wants something.

Wow she's pretty

Wow. Joanna is the only person I've seen break Nard's freeze.

7:22 for "Zachary!"

Man Nard really had to dig deep this interview.

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

HE MOVED AT THE END!!!!

I don't understand how it's possible for anyone to be as beautiful as she is.

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.

i have never seen him unfreeze at the end... ever

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.

She drove a Subaru. How surprising.

oh, but she's a delight!

The VERY end made it worth it! Adorable girl!

Its like watching a popular girl at school talk to the social outcast

I feel like he never sticks the mic that close to himself but makes sure it's in his guest's mouth...

I don't think see knew who Harpo Marx is.

I thought the same after watching my first Nardwuar interview. But, he always gets the best out of the interviewees. Legend

The whole interview being conducted on a SM58 that's absolutely beat to hell is such a vibe and I love it.

This is the first interview that I've ever seen from her, I was expecting her speaking voice to sound like Simpka from taxi.

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.

@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.

She is smoooooth

Trippy seeing nardwuar stop the pose at the end.

I love her voice so much

Now that you bring that up I'm seeing that microphone he sticks in her face in a whole new light.

@doublewuzzy The note is between 7:02 and 7:04 in "Have One On Me" during the line "I remember everything."

i wonder if they got the idea for the Portlanida skit she's in from the "have harp can't travel" record....

She makes medieval folk music

She's wonderful.

She is so delightful. I can't even.

Nardwuar vs Sparks! Seeing how they’re still going after the Edgar Wright doc we gotta see it

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.

hmm, food for thought. I see your point. I guess I don't really put much thought into what makes a good interview/interviewer, but I can totally see that.

people should try to get him to break character at the end while he poses somehow. like making him laugh.

ah mah gad! I love watching Joanna Newsom interviews.

she is so fly.... come to canadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa more

Joanna Newsom cusses in Erin. She says 'Hail now--hail to the bitch'. This is the only time I've ever heard Nardwuar make a mistake in his research.

0:41 Makes sense that Nardwuar's favourite band is Sparks.

god I absolutely love her. She is amazing.

does anyone have any pics of joanna wearing that outfit?

i find it amazing that she doesn't know about Harpo. He's one of the most influential and impressive harpists ever.

But Joanna you swore on The Man Who Ran the Town. And it was awesome hot

5:58 What we all came to hear.

she has such a child like smile its so cute !

I LOVE her eyes, and her smile, wait, I LOVE everything about her! JN

simplemente hermosa¡¡¡ simply beautiful¡¡¡

The ending is the best

i love her

Even Nardwuar was charmed

She is an angel and just lovely.

She is sharp that she played it so straight but she was in on the joke and u coulld see she was enjoying it :)

Agreed, but you never see interviews with Callahan so that would be a rare treat.

was by far not the best nardwar interview, but it is worth every second because of Joanna Newsom

"That. was. awesome." -Tommy Boy

"Blood ever??" hahahahahahah

Great interview! She is so fuckin' adorable!

@Diorama42 Nardwuar vs. N.E.R.D. He found a wee foam thing for the mic at least. Still don't get it. lol Nardwuar MUST be a particularly Canadian thing. The stridency of his technique activates the 'Kill Switch' for me within minutes...

I kind of warmed to him in the end actually. She's even more likeable than I imagined.... and that was already pretty likeable!

He sounds like the scarecrow from the wizard of oz

I love you Nardwuar!
