Nardwuar the Human Serviette
Only Vancouver could produce a media personality like Nardwuar the Human Serviette and allow him to thrive. He's unique: annoying, insightful, relentlessly probing, and, above all, daring. His moniker comes from a complicated afternoon of juvenile goofing around. His fame comes from many things — hosting a radio show on UBC's campus radio station CiTR, his appearances on MuchMusic, writing for Chart, Razorcake, Roctober and Flipside magazines, starting his own record label while in his teens, his endless advocacy for gritty underground garage-rock bands and his devotion to promoting all-ages concerts when no one else in town could be bothered. Oh, yeah, he's a performer too, with The Evaporators and Thee Goblins. He also survived a brain hemorrhage at the age of 30 — you have to give him points for that.
