* Music journalist Nardwuar is famous in Canada (or infamous, depending on who you talk to) for his exhaustive research of his interviewees, and hyperactive interviewing style. A lot of his subjects (probably the most infamous is Creator/HenryRollins) have found themselves completely unable to deal with his level of energy. And then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilKuJOe2goA Nardwuar meets Andrew WK,]] possibly the ''only'' person he ever interviewed whose energy surpassed his own. And Andrew ends it with a keyboard solo.

It would be a lot easier to just put down "his existence," but for the sake of fairness, we'll divvy it up a bit.
