This kind of traditional market is fast disappearing in parts of the UK, being replaced with "shops outdoors". I found the woman calling "Come on help yourself where you like - you can't do that everywhere" intriguing. She was referring to customers selecting their own fruit and vegetables from the stall, rather than being given what they were given. This market is a mix of more traditional produce stalls (fruit, vegetables, herbs, meat, etc) and guys selling mobile phones, software, CDs and so on.	* ***	1:47:29 (MP3 \| )

Hello Kenzo and listenerz

Wed. 7/31/13 2:03pm Bliss:

Hello.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:03pm Uncle Michael:

I feel like I'm hovering an inch and a half above the seat of my office chair.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

all there here hear?

Wed. 7/31/13 2:04pm Bliss:

I hear it perfectly. WFMU

Wed. 7/31/13 2:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

good, i hear it too

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...is this when LindaBlair in Exorcist takes a nap?

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I remember during 1st Bush 1st GulfWar having nightmares of track ATVs treading thru thick petroleum fire purgatories - pure Mordor...

Wed. 7/31/13 2:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

this time you call

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- because Ganja is Prohibited in U.S. it can't be researched - but in Israel they have found that it has chemicals like the natural ones in the brain that help us forget. Big surprise, sure - but some people can't forget - a disorder - every ugly face on the subway...PTSD is a sort-of inability to Forget. It also struck me as key to the nature of the Psychedelic Experience: Not best for memorizing something new - but good for a clean slate creatively - & for stepping right out of yourself - forgetting yourSelf - & seeing things from two feet to one side, as it were...
- But yes - how do we remember not to forget what we know everyone should really remember...& then you die (?)...

Wed. 7/31/13 2:20pm Bliss:

lyrics of a new song:
Everyone ages.
All changes.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:24pm kat330:

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- I got that lowdown about pot from the great Michael Pollan's 'Botany of Desire' :
www.pbs.org...
video.pbs.org...

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:30pm listener james from westwood:

stuck on conf call but listening in background! howdy kenzo!

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:34pm listener james from westwood:

whoo! call done, can now listen full blast!

Wed. 7/31/13 2:34pm kat330:

Anyone else had a natural mystical experience—no ganja, no LSD, no drugs of any sort?

Wed. 7/31/13 2:36pm Bliss:

@kat330
Yes.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:37pm kat330:

Ah, that would explain your name then.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:38pm listener james from westwood:

ah, alan watts, long an fmu fave.
thanks, by the way, for the subdivisions on the wfmu recent program page that now list the programs by the stream they aired on!

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:41pm Ike:

@kat330, yes, while listening to FMU. Rarely, something seriously cosmic will materialize and send me on a crazy trip.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:43pm kat330:

@Ike: I'd think you might have had such while hiking, too. I had some wonderful, mystical experiences in Yosemite, for e.g.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- sure, Meditation - but only after taking LSD. Prob. got close to it in remote youth - just from reading about it & contemplation. For example - read Huxley (& say, Jung) before taking Psychedelics - 'Cosmic Consciousness' by Richard M. Bucke I think
...but all of this - drugs included - so very long ago. (Bucke makes correlation w/ Youthfulness in most cases.)
- Now - in mid-life in 21st Century - it's just what Huxley laid out in 'Heaven & Hell'. I just wanna be HomerSimpson - work (well, I must - Stimulants), come home, get naked, Forget/ - anaesthetize...

Wed. 7/31/13 2:44pm Bliss:

393-6101 (Great grandma elliott?)

Wed. 7/31/13 2:45pm Bliss:

Everyone in the city had the same area code.
We never dialed that, or thought about it.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:45pm Ike:

Kat, maybe once or twice while hiking, but not recently. It's great but not usually transcendent.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:46pm kat330:

867-5309 (Jenny)

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- then from Mysticism
- to Metaphysics & later Magick...

Wed. 7/31/13 2:47pm kat330:

We were camped right at the edge of the Merced River, and I happened to be reading Philip Jose Farmer's "River" series. Cosmic.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- sure - Nature. Getting Out of one's Trap correlates to getting Out of one's Mind.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:50pm kat330:

Heh, yeah, that other SF Philip is pretty cosmic, too. Michael Bishop called him the cosmic beefsteak tomato orbiting the Earth.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

i don't remember

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:50pm Doug Schulkind:

I dismember.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:52pm kat330:

Whatever kind of satellite Dick is, he's responsible for Philo and me meeting one another.

Wed. 7/31/13 2:52pm Bliss:

Don't dis the ember.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 2:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- Ritual & Ceremonial Magick seem to be mostly about changing one's Consciousness thru Focus & *something* like Trance
- by which I do not mean to negate it: I just refer to Jung saying Archetypes are Living as well as Archaic, & leave it @ that...
- Watts had to Work & Drank as well...

Wed. 7/31/13 2:55pm kat330:

And then there's the blissful moment when it washes over you, unbidden and beautiful. "Have you ever been experienced?" "Beautiful."

Wed. 7/31/13 3:00pm Bliss:

By the time you get there, getting there is no longer the goal.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- TheBeatles sure figured that out.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Taoism: When something comes to Fullness - it becomes its' Opposite.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:05pm kat330:

I believe I first heard the Watts' lectures when in Boston in the mid-70's. Never missed a broadcast.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:06pm kat330:

And balances.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:09pm northguineahills:

For the next time, can I just leave my phone open and add office ambiance?

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:09pm Rich in Washington:

KLERE is safe with most medications.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

northguineahills: yes and do it now!

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:13pm fred:

Please call Stella!!! I remember that Kenny G show. I even listened to it again. I was surprised that nobody at work had heard of it (a bunch of them work on voice)

Wed. 7/31/13 3:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I did it before he did I think. lastever.org...

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:18pm fred:

He beat you to it: wfmu.org... Though of course he just played as much of the database as he could for three hours

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:19pm Rich in Washington:

I have never heard of this Stella business.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:22pm kat330:

Well, I was. Then I left. But now I'm back. [I've made brief walk-ons before, but no one noticed. Stealth cabbit.]

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:24pm fred:

@Rich: The sentences contains all English phonemes. It's been recorded by speakers from different places to create a research database used to study accents

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:27pm Rich in Washington:

Yeah, I was just now looking at it. I do hope Stella brings a toy frog for the kids.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

live on air

Wed. 7/31/13 3:28pm kat330:

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:29pm fred:

@Rich: It's there, but I don't have to right plugins to check it's accessible: accent.gmu.edu

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:30pm Rich in Washington:

I played one of them from my region and am horrified by how my accent must sound, now.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:33pm kat330:

Just saw "Warm Bodies" last weekend. Its conceit was that zombies get to have the memories of the brains they eat.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:34pm kat330:

The cicadas are really loud and aggressive where you are.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:46pm Bliss:

G.G. Elliott's phone number was part of a party line--where neighbors shared one phone line.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:46pm Rich in Washington:

I just found a Wally Schirra/Mercury 7 7" record the other day.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:47pm Bliss:

What a dumb speech by "Mr. President".

Wed. 7/31/13 3:53pm kat330:

Adieu.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:54pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

thank you thank you thank you

Wed. 7/31/13 3:55pm Bliss:

Did that seem fast to anyone else?

Wed. 7/31/13 3:56pm Bliss:

Good show, Kenzo.

Wed. 7/31/13 3:56pm northguineahills:

Thanks Ken, I had fun calling in while working.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:57pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks Kenzo.

♥ Wed. 7/31/13 3:59pm Rich in Washington:

Thank you Kenzo!
Amazing!

Thu. 8/1/13 11:34am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Check out last week's archive if you can't wait: lastever.org...
Or the podcast: lastever.org...

♥ Tue. 8/6/13 12:31pm fred:

I'm not sure, but I'm tending toward thinking The Sinking of the Titanic might be the best music ever recorded, in part because of what Kenzo did with it

♥ Tue. 8/6/13 1:22pm fred:

Kenzo, you devil, this is a worthwhile challenge.

Tue. 8/6/13 2:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

What is the challenge?

♥ Tue. 8/6/13 5:39pm fred:

The one-minute vacation clips were even more awesome when put in the context of the full show. I miss seeing you live, it's amazing that you can do *this* without the comfort of an edit.... I saw you do it though, but once isn't enough to believe it

Tue. 8/6/13 6:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Well, that's what I hoped you meant. Yeah, it's kind of impossible what I'm doing. And I keep being reminded that almost nobody believes it. Someone asked to sit in on my show last week and watch. So at least he believes it now.

In fact, I don't believe it. I video the process so I can go back and watch if I ever doubt.

Tue. 3/19/19 11:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Wednesday, 5-7pm ET: You're all in charge. (reminders to do more)

♥ Wed. 3/20/19 5:02pm chresti:

♥ Wed. 3/20/19 5:09pm chresti:

I lost my fuzzy badge

Wed. 3/20/19 5:11pm northguineahills:

about the Chris Owens piece, is it only outside the UK one can pick your own fruit and veggies, be it a farmers market, or supermarket? (I've never had a problem in my travels, never looked for produce in the UK).

Wed. 3/20/19 5:13pm northguineahills:

wait, I saw produce out in the open at a supermarket in London, but I was on a Boy Scouts trip in '93,

♥ Wed. 3/20/19 5:27pm listener james from westwood:

I'm on a conference call?! Oh, yes, we hop thru time here!

♥ Wed. 3/20/19 5:32pm listener james from westwood:

Holy shit, July 2013, I was a goddamn mess then.

♥ Wed. 3/20/19 5:58pm chresti:

Yeah! I can feel it! Especially the noxy part.

That glitchy part went perfectly with the loud thunder that was outside

♥ Wed. 3/20/19 6:46pm chresti:

Somewhere around insect sounds and Telephone sounds

♥ Wed. 3/20/19 6:58pm chresti:

Thanks Kenzo, wherever you are and when!

Thu. 3/21/19 12:13am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Balance beams to all.
