Skookum Chief Powered TEENAGE ZIT ROCK ANGST
-LP (w/ free CD version)
1995 (Nardwuar Records)


Re-Up!


"'Way-north-o-the-border, Nardwuar "The Human Serviette" is well known and , uhh, loved for his acutely Canadian brand of ambush journalism (conjure, if you care, Howard Stern Meets Martin Short). But out here in the civilized world, Nardwuar runs a few bands along with his own label, the latter of who've just released The Compilation Album Of The Decade So Far. Besides a real beauty assortment of garagecore and hardpop, you'll particularly dig the alternative lounge stylings of Harvey Sid Fisher, not to mention Jersey's always beatful Sit'n'Spin. And if you order today, your "SCPTZRA" LP will have a FREE CD enclosed, whereupon you can hear the Human Serviette's very own Goblins combo terrorize a local radio station for 29min 20sec." - Gary The Pig

"Nardwuar the Human Serviette has got that geek mojo working. It's all in that special voice. Gilligan meets nitrous oxide. When he ups the pitch, when he's on, ambush-interviewing a Mikhail Gorbachev or a Mickey Dolenz, he tends to get the goods.



For years Nardwuar has hosted a radio show on CITR 101.9 FM. It's a low-watt campus affair broadcasting from UBC. The affiliation has afforded him access to most anybody willing to play along with media...

When he hooks them, Nardwuar latches right into the flesh. No pat question. He knows his subjects. The arcane details, the very stuff of self-referential pop kultcha he lugs around crammed inside of his head, draw the celebs out, ready or not.

Another good thing about the mischief-maker is the fact that he happens to be a shameless promoter of place. The suffix "Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada" is stuck all over the merchandise -- like the album covers for the vinyl records with the free CDs he puts out on his own label. The skewed vagaries of this great country show up in the odd songs covered by his band or included in a compilation album like 1995's Skookum Chief-Powered (note local eatery reference imbedded in title) Teenage Zit Rock Angst. There you will hear among the not two, 12 or 26, but 19 of the best bands in the world..."
