  • Introduction to Video Content
  • In this video, Nardwuar interviews the indie rock band, The Shins. The conversation starts off with Nardwuar expressing his fascination with the band's love for Glass Tiger, a Canadian band. The members of The Shins explain that they love Glass Tiger because it reminds them of their teen years and brings back precious memories. Nardwuar then shares an interesting fact about Glass Tiger being offered a chance to play Wayne Gretzky's wedding. Moving on, Nardwuar reveals that Alice Cooper does not like The Shins, which surprises and upsets the band. Alice Cooper reportedly compared them to Spinal Tap. The band members express their confusion as to why Alice Cooper would dislike them, as they have no ill feelings towards him. Nardwuar then brings up Jack Black, who is a known fan of The Shins and is often seen wearing their shirts. However, the band members reveal that they have never actually met Jack Black, and the rumors about him wearing their shirts might be false. Nardwuar concludes the interview by teasing that there is something important he wants to discuss with The Shins, but he will take it slowly. Overall, this video provides an interesting and humorous insight into the band's history and interactions with other musicians.
