Looks like another optimal day.

Tue. 6/7/16 10:08am People Like Us:

Tue. 6/7/16 11:22am Ken From Hyde Park:

Yay, more optimizationment!

Tue. 6/7/16 11:35am Milk::

Optimistic already!

Tue. 6/7/16 11:37am Milk::

But better open 2 windows if you want to post here, because it interrupts the stream otherwise

Tue. 6/7/16 11:56am vince:

Good hello, people!

Tue. 6/7/16 11:57am Michael:

Tue. 6/7/16 11:58am People Like Us:

Tue. 6/7/16 12:01pm People Like Us:

hello hello hello

Tue. 6/7/16 12:02pm Cliff:

Awww Jim, I think you left out a number or two

Tue. 6/7/16 12:02pm People Like Us:

so if you get fed up with commenting and the left hand video stops, just watch the stream from wfmu.org front page as a separate tab

Tue. 6/7/16 12:03pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Jim Price on WFMU for forty years...quite impressive!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:03pm Cliff:

FORTY?! *falls over*

Tue. 6/7/16 12:04pm Cliff:

I've only been listening for sixteen

Tue. 6/7/16 12:10pm Charlie:

yay, Porest

Tue. 6/7/16 12:11pm People Like Us:

amazing eh

Tue. 6/7/16 12:11pm People Like Us:

this bit reminds me of "ready... suckers..." - vito acconci?

Tue. 6/7/16 12:12pm Cliff:

I'm moving abroad to become a TEFL teacher, this is so funny

Tue. 6/7/16 12:13pm People Like Us:

Mark (Porest) lives in Hanoi

Tue. 6/7/16 12:13pm cory:

i moved abroad once. she bought us beer and pizza

Tue. 6/7/16 12:13pm Michael:

Long profile of Vito in the NY Times on Sunday: www.nytimes.com...

Tue. 6/7/16 12:14pm Charlie:

I'd like to learn Englsih as a foreign language.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:14pm Cliff:

Andy Breckman had a cross-dressing roommate in college, he says he spent a semester abroad

Tue. 6/7/16 12:14pm People Like Us:

you speak English as a foreign language, Charlie :)

Tue. 6/7/16 12:16pm Cliff:

WOW

Tue. 6/7/16 12:16pm Kat in Chicago:

OMG this NPR stuff

Tue. 6/7/16 12:16pm People Like Us:

this is the voice that replaced Andy Breckman on 7SD, remember?

Tue. 6/7/16 12:17pm People Like Us:

I played this bit to Ken and he laughed a lot

Tue. 6/7/16 12:17pm Kat in Chicago:

haha that's right

Tue. 6/7/16 12:17pm Porest:

DOWN WITH CULTURE!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:18pm People Like Us:

oh THERE YOU ARE!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:18pm People Like Us:

there's Porest :)

Tue. 6/7/16 12:18pm People Like Us:

ok I'm going to make some tea - speak to Mark Porest, people

Tue. 6/7/16 12:19pm Kat in Chicago:

Porest, this is brilliant

Tue. 6/7/16 12:20pm Porest:

Hi Kat in Chicago. We should be there having cultural tea time with Vicki...

Tue. 6/7/16 12:20pm Ken From Hyde Park:

No stinkyflute today. That was yesterday.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:20pm Cliff:

I, uhh, yeah

Tue. 6/7/16 12:21pm cory:

Porest, that was great. Thanks

Tue. 6/7/16 12:21pm Xxx:

That was fantastic.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:21pm Cliff:

Porest, I like SW radio too

Tue. 6/7/16 12:22pm Charlie:

Wonderful as always, Mark, thanks.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:23pm Cliff:

I thought she was saying "My Veg" at first (as in Vegetable)

Tue. 6/7/16 12:24pm Charlie:

This Awkwafina is brilliant.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:24pm Porest:

Thanks everyone -- more Porest to come next month

Tue. 6/7/16 12:24pm People Like Us:

oh next next Bodega Pop!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:24pm Kat in Chicago:

I would love to have tea with Vicki some day. but I won't be in NYC this month till after she's gone. Wow this vag song!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:25pm Cliff:

I was wondering when Optimized would take advantage of the lack of FCC regulations

Tue. 6/7/16 12:25pm Porest:

Cliff, have you noticed the decline in programming on SW radio in general?

Tue. 6/7/16 12:25pm People Like Us:

oh so actually this is NSFW (sorry)

Tue. 6/7/16 12:25pm People Like Us:

Gary Sullivan just took that advantage, yes

Tue. 6/7/16 12:25pm vince:

Since it's almost 100 degrees here, I'm gonna have some Iced Tea!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:25pm Kat in Chicago:

Your NSFW secrets are safe within my headphones

Tue. 6/7/16 12:27pm Cliff:

Porest, I just got out my radio and listened the other night, and was very sad to hear mostly static & nonsense. Did catch some NHK, and Radio Havana Cuba still going strong on 6000kHz though!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:28pm steve:

always great stuff from Gary. Gary you out there?

Tue. 6/7/16 12:28pm hearingthings:

@Porest: I'm looking forward to another science report from Bill White.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:30pm Porest:

Sad but true, Cliff - though the US wasn't ever the "optimal" in receiving at least there was more...it's a global problem though. I'll tell you. Down at least 50% worldwide. Enjoy while we can!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:31pm Porest:

@hearingthings: If Bill is still with us, he will return.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:31pm People Like Us:

Perhaps we can summon Gary Sullivan (I'm not sure what his work situation is)... everyone HUMMMMMM

Tue. 6/7/16 12:32pm Cliff:

I'm moving to Prague at the end of this month, but not hopeful that the radioscape will be any better there...everyone's expected to just listen on the internet nowadays! :/

Tue. 6/7/16 12:32pm Porest:

GARY says "YEAH"

Tue. 6/7/16 12:32pm Cliff:

HUMMMMMMM
and flap your wings

Tue. 6/7/16 12:33pm Porest:

Sorry, Gary from Down With Culture thought you were talking about him when you mentioned Gary Sullivan. This is the problem with democracy rock stars.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:33pm Porest:

@cliff: too true

Tue. 6/7/16 12:34pm People Like Us:

ha ha

Tue. 6/7/16 12:34pm People Like Us:

Gary Sullivan just told me from facebook: "I'm in the office today and am trying to get online but internet kicked me out -- trying again now!"

Tue. 6/7/16 12:34pm Gary:

Hi everyone! I'm actually in the office today (I go in once a week), and was having internet troubles, but am here now for a bit!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:35pm People Like Us:

there you are!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:35pm Cliff:

Hi Gary!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:36pm steve:

great mix Gary!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:36pm Gary:

Hi everyone! Damn, I missed "My Vag" :( ... one of my favorites!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:36pm Cliff:

I sure didn't miss that one, haha!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:37pm Gary:

I don't think of myself as a purveyor of NSFW material ... but, then again, I typically work from home ....

Tue. 6/7/16 12:37pm Cliff:

If you look on my profile page, you can see the avatar I used to use which everyone kept telling me looked like a vagina on mescaline.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:38pm Charlie:

Hi Gary -- great mix here, loving it.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:38pm People Like Us:

yes it sort of depends where you work!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:39pm Gary:

Hi Charlie! ... sad about this girl singing right now ("I'm Number 1"), very young Zimbabwean rapper who died not too awfully long after releasing this rather popular track

Tue. 6/7/16 12:39pm People Like Us:

I work in my own head normally, where it is reasonably safe

Tue. 6/7/16 12:40pm Gary:

Wait ... POREST is Mark Gergis?!? Shoot, I gotta hear what he played

Tue. 6/7/16 12:40pm People Like Us:

yes, Mark Gergis

Tue. 6/7/16 12:41pm People Like Us:

it will be archived at 3pm

Tue. 6/7/16 12:41pm Cliff:

Porest, if you're still here, where is the original of your jpg? I'm a language nerd and would love to study that chart :D

Tue. 6/7/16 12:41pm Gary:

Awesome! I have a work meeting at 1 that will go to 2 but then I can leave for home and possibly make it back shortly after 3

Tue. 6/7/16 12:42pm People Like Us:

I will timestamp each "show" start later in the week when I have more headspace, so you'll be able to listen from the beginning of each segment. I am also archiving the animated gifs, and the video specific shows (Clay Pigeon, Heather Phillipson, maybe Ken tomorrow)

Tue. 6/7/16 12:43pm Gary:

Great -- thanks, Vicki. And thanks so much for putting together this whole thing!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:43pm Porest:

Gary, - it's been fantastic listening. Thank you.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:44pm Cliff:

Vicki, if you could refrain Ken from having Richard Nixon blinky-blink at us again, that would be great

Tue. 6/7/16 12:45pm People Like Us:

well thanks for making the content :)

Tue. 6/7/16 12:46pm People Like Us:

so that jpg - apparently I pointed Porest to it

Tue. 6/7/16 12:46pm Cliff:

Ah ok

Tue. 6/7/16 12:47pm Torbjørn:

@Cliff, in case you didn't find it, here's a version of that langauge graph. http://blogs.opentext.com/wp-content/uploads/languageshqscmp.png. Looking forward to Let's Paint today, didn't catch it yesterday.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:48pm Porest:

@Cliff: Vicki and I were discussing an image, then she pointed me to that jpg after she heard the program. Then, I made every country in the world speak English in about 3 minutes. Vicki, do you remember the source?

Tue. 6/7/16 12:48pm Cliff:

I have to miss Let's Paint TV today, unfortunately it costs $100 to reschedule a therapy session last-minute!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:48pm Gary:

Thanks, MG -- you're a big hero of mine!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:48pm People Like Us:

oh well done
I have NO idea where that jpg came from but I passed it to Mark Porest

Tue. 6/7/16 12:49pm Cliff:

Thank you Torbjørn! I will download and study it furiously

Tue. 6/7/16 12:49pm People Like Us:

Thanks all for finding that

Tue. 6/7/16 12:49pm Gary:

I didn't list this in the track list, but it's a Cambodian version of Girls Like to Have Fun

Tue. 6/7/16 12:49pm People Like Us:

Steinski's next!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:50pm People Like Us:

not sure if we can summon him

Tue. 6/7/16 12:50pm Gary:

Yay, Steinski!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:50pm Webhamster Henry:

Hi Vicki & Steinski

Tue. 6/7/16 12:50pm Porest:

@Gary: Thanks Gary! This Khmer "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", too! Thanks for Bodega pop and all of your work.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:51pm People Like Us:

hello!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:51pm asm1582:

Hate to be dense, but where is the animated GIF/video, etc.?

Tue. 6/7/16 12:52pm Gary:

Based on this so far, Steinski apparently works where I work

Tue. 6/7/16 12:52pm Charlie:

Yes, Steinski!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:54pm asm1582:

Is it the frame with the space capsule, kayaker, flooded car, etc.?

Tue. 6/7/16 12:54pm People Like Us:

asm - one video feed is to the left of this panel and anohter at wfmu.org - if you can't see it then maybe you have an adblocker or flashblocker on?

Tue. 6/7/16 12:55pm People Like Us:

yes yes, it's that, asm!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:55pm asm1582:

thank you

Tue. 6/7/16 12:56pm Webhamster Henry:

And the motorcade optimized on!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:58pm Cliff:

Yes, the gifs aren't meant to be too distracting, this is radio after all!

Tue. 6/7/16 12:58pm Gary:

Okay, I've got to go to a meeting, but am soooo looking forward to hearing this when it resurfaces at 3

Tue. 6/7/16 12:58pm People Like Us:

basically, we have animated gifs running by Dina Kelberman (specially made), and then there are video idents, text and video-specific shows - for instance Heather Phillipson is video and audio that she's provided. Clay Pigeon on Friday is video and audio (he's interviewing people in Manhattan). Tomorrow Station Manager Ken is doing a live animated gif show

Tue. 6/7/16 12:58pm Lewis:

so how I am going to get more coffee now that steinski is on?....

Tue. 6/7/16 12:59pm People Like Us:

this is challenging what radio is, or should be. Remember radio isn't about the medium that it's on or you could say it died with the transistor

Tue. 6/7/16 12:59pm Porest:

@Steinski: Porest listened to Stenski & Mass Media on loop when he was 16. Thank you.

Tue. 6/7/16 12:59pm vince:

Trans-Sister!

Tue. 6/7/16 1:00pm Porest:

Steinski

Tue. 6/7/16 1:00pm People Like Us:

of course I meant this to happen, all of this that I don't know about

Tue. 6/7/16 1:00pm Cliff:

Of course, of course

Tue. 6/7/16 1:01pm People Like Us:

ideally I'd like this to be all specifically made audio and visual content but it's a LOT to sort out if you want really good quality

Tue. 6/7/16 1:01pm People Like Us:

if I'd thought about it earlier I would have asked Hearty White to make visual (video) too

Tue. 6/7/16 1:03pm Cliff:

What's the dividing line between TV and Radio with how much video you use?

Tue. 6/7/16 1:04pm Lewis:

One of the things I am noticing about my music collection and modern players is that my brain is tagging music with visuals (e.g. album covers or images specific to playlists). This is coming out because a lot of my music is not yet so tagged and I have a much harder time remembering or tracking those bits... (for what it is worth...)

Tue. 6/7/16 1:04pm People Like Us:

well it depends what you want because it's all maluable, don't you think? I think TV is more passive

Tue. 6/7/16 1:04pm People Like Us:

if we were watching TV we would not be discussing this

Tue. 6/7/16 1:04pm MrFab:

used to tape Steinski mixes off the radio back in the pre-internet day. Great to hear this fantastic new mix.

I don't think I was familiar with the word 'optimize' before today, and I'm still not certain what it actually means. But sounds good sampled.

Tue. 6/7/16 1:05pm Ike:

Wait, is the live event at Monty Hall on Thursday at 8 p.m., or at 7? The Monty Hall site won't open right now. It's 8:00, right?

Tue. 6/7/16 1:05pm People Like Us:

hello Mr Fab!

Tue. 6/7/16 1:06pm People Like Us:

doors 8pm, Ike. www.facebook.com...

Tue. 6/7/16 1:06pm Cliff:

Wish I could stay, but gotta see my psychologist! And a thunderstorm is starting outside, great!

Tue. 6/7/16 1:07pm People Like Us:

thank you

Tue. 6/7/16 1:08pm Torbjørn:

My standard mode of consuming audio is having it like a stream in the semi-background, where I partly pay attention to it. Often done while on the computer, reading or talking with other people. Somtimes I do more active listening, but that is the standard mode. I consume this video stream in much the same way. I have the video stream in fullscreen on a TV, while working on this computer. Sometimes I look up and concentrate on the video, especially in the transitions, but for the most part it's a stream in the semi-background state.

Tue. 6/7/16 1:09pm Charlie:

Catching up with Steinski's picture: "Goddamit I love being scissors" could be his motto.

Tue. 6/7/16 1:10pm People Like Us:

expanding what radio means, how it's perceived, could be what saves radio, it could be what keeps WFMU going

Tue. 6/7/16 1:17pm People Like Us:

So at the top of the hour when John Kilduff is on, we are setting up a computer in Monty Hall so he can read the comments here. So please talk to him :)

Tue. 6/7/16 1:21pm Kat in Chicago:

Irene Moon! <3

Tue. 6/7/16 1:24pm Webhamster Henry:

That's better - calling via Skype meant getting the contact accepted or something. So I couldn't call in yesterday. I'm in an office today , maybe I'll call tomorrow!

Tue. 6/7/16 1:25pm People Like Us:

we are opening skype at 10 mins before starting (so at 1.50pm) - if we open before there's too much going on at once, potentially

Tue. 6/7/16 1:26pm People Like Us:

he would really appreciate your calls/comments - he's in Monty Hall on his own, and we are all gawping at him from another room/building etc

Tue. 6/7/16 1:28pm Lori 16mm Varga:

oh! I hear O kostev, russian culture jamming mashup music playing, this must be the genius of Vicki here...

Tue. 6/7/16 1:31pm Bogdan Popov:

Just in case some people like me wants to listen to the stream while walk around town with their phone, they can use this file : http://iphone-streaming.ustream.tv/uhls/663537/streams/live/iphone/playlist.m3u8 !

Tue. 6/7/16 1:34pm Charlie:

Yay Irene Moon :)
luv this Hair piece

Everything's giant in America.

Tue. 6/7/16 1:47pm Charlie:

Optimized.

Tue. 6/7/16 1:48pm MrFab:

Tue. 6/7/16 1:49pm MrFab:

Love the mix Irene, despite the lack of insect lectures.

Tue. 6/7/16 1:50pm People Like Us:

some NSFW language here, just a bit

Tue. 6/7/16 1:51pm Ken From Hyde Park:

What lurks beneath those waves?

Tue. 6/7/16 1:53pm People Like Us:

Mr Let's Paint is set up and waiting downstairs
Can you see this playlist yet, John?

Tue. 6/7/16 1:53pm People Like Us:

time to start sending some messages to Let's Paint TV - questions about life, art, cooking, falling over

Tue. 6/7/16 1:55pm People Like Us:

Actually Jim Price next!!!

Tue. 6/7/16 1:55pm muwa:

this is so beautiful comparing to what's outside (Union Sq)

Tue. 6/7/16 1:56pm Ken From Hyde Park:

What is your favorite color?

Tue. 6/7/16 1:56pm ?:

Tue. 6/7/16 1:58pm hearingthings:

Are shoehorns irrelevant?

Tue. 6/7/16 1:59pm People Like Us:

sorry, no Jim Price! John Kilduff at the top of the hour (it's a bit confusing here at times)

Tue. 6/7/16 1:59pm People Like Us:

we will turn on skype once someone has a spare pair of hands here

Tue. 6/7/16 2:00pm Lori16mm:

yesterday was great, Vicki is doing a great job- love the content! The music / videos are/ is making my ears pop off my head.

Tue. 6/7/16 2:01pm Lori16mm:

today, so far has also been wild ...so far... I wish I had some spare hands to hand you.

Tue. 6/7/16 2:04pm People Like Us:

In one minute we will switch to John Kilduff

Tue. 6/7/16 2:05pm People Like Us:

Tue. 6/7/16 2:10pm People Like Us:

come on people :)

Tue. 6/7/16 2:11pm Ken From Hyde Park:

How would you like to paint Donald Trump? What style would you use?

Tue. 6/7/16 2:11pm steev:

This is cool. Definitely the most optimum radio I've seen in a while.

Tue. 6/7/16 2:13pm Kat in Chicago:

I'm out of breath just watching!

Tue. 6/7/16 2:13pm People Like Us:

hi Steev :)

Tue. 6/7/16 2:14pm People Like Us:

do you ever eat your art, Mr Let's Paint?

Tue. 6/7/16 2:15pm Kat in Chicago:

I'm going to try this egg sandwich method

Tue. 6/7/16 2:15pm People Like Us:

Chickens ARE DAIRY

Tue. 6/7/16 2:17pm micah:

this should be on food network

Tue. 6/7/16 2:18pm Torbjørn:

Mr. Let's Paint, your sandwhich sure looks good. Is your food and painting technique optimized for anything in particular ? Upbeat multitasking ?

Tue. 6/7/16 2:18pm lia:

Hey, do you paint the food you make?

♥ Tue. 6/7/16 2:20pm -Ken:

Mr. Paint, how do you describe the difference between people in Los Angeles and people in New York City?

♥ Tue. 6/7/16 2:21pm -Ken:

Wow Alex on skype sounds amazing!

Tue. 6/7/16 2:24pm geezerette:

I'm worried this guy is going to have a heart attack!

Tue. 6/7/16 2:25pm hearingthings:

Art attack is the name of the game.

♥ Tue. 6/7/16 2:25pm -Ken:

Dont worry geezerette. Mr Paint is a professional treadmill painter.

Tue. 6/7/16 2:27pm Torbjørn:

Mr. Let's Paint, I hope the threadmill won't act up while you're using the knife there. How are we coming along the sandwhich ?

Tue. 6/7/16 2:29pm muwa:

will you pulverize it and turn it into paint? Don't throw it away! Recycle! Reuse!

Tue. 6/7/16 2:30pm Michael:

Mr. Let’s Paint – who was the better cook: Pollock or de Kooning?

12.00pm Jim Price - Taking Calls Jim Price makes at least seventeen sounds: tooth-grinding, trills, twitters, tongue taps, hisses, grunts and has different sounds for when he bumps into something or when he’s disturbed or wounded. He’s been a disc jockey at WFMU since 1976 and his band, NEBLUNG PRICE record all their material in an onion drying shed. Without fatal accident, Jim has arrived to see the airbag and steam from the swelling minor. http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/jp (Listen: )

12:02pm Porest - The Parallel Broadcasts (Optimized for WFMU) Porest unveils recordings from the covert sector of his archives. Culled from shortwave and FM broadcasts, these selections were intercepted via prepared radio – finely tuned to receive what is known in certain circles as parallel broadcasting. Content explores the trauma of emerging global consciousness, acute cultural antipology and the urgent placement of democratic music today. Recorded on location in Jan/Feb, 2016 – Featuring contributions from Paul Staufenbiel and Michael Darr POREST Across decades, Porest (aka Mark Gergis) has issued a trail of confounding agitprop sound art, empirical hate pop, diabolical radio dramas and carefully rearranged realities on the Abduction, Seeland and Resipiscent labels. Porest’s blatant embezzlement of human syntax and cultural misunderstanding broadcasts vital mixed messages. Collaborations have included: Aavikko (Finland) Alan Bishop/Sun City Girls (USA), and Negativland (USA) among others. Porest’s forthcoming LP, Modern Journal of Popular Savagery is to be released by Nashazphone (Egypt) in 2016. Gergis was a co-founder of the long-running experimental Bay Area music and performance collective Mono Pause – as well as its offshoot Neung Phak, performing inspired renditions of southeast Asian musics. Since 2003, with the Sublime Frequencies label, an ethnographic music and film collective out of Seattle, Washington – and more recently, with his own record label – Sham Palace, Gergis has shared decades of research and scores of archived international music, film footage and sound recordings acquired during extensive travels in the Middle East, South East Asia and elsewhere. http://porestsound.net/info https://soundcloud.com/porest (Listen: )

1.50pm Heather Phillipson - Commiserations! In COMMISERATIONS!, Heather Phillipson trashes the heart’s stylistic representations and reboots bodily imperatives. Mixing sporting detritus, bedroom intimacies, ideographs, pop lyrics, emotive connections and linguistic clichés, alongside the heart’s own tropes of rhythm, repetition, tonal-shifts and poetic mis-readings, her video proposes a metaphorical-biological hybrid. The heart is asserted as a mass-produced machine, exposed to love, sex, anxiety, stimulants, work-outs and dance music, and as a highly subjective, fatal core. Heather Phillipson works across video, sculpture, drawing, music, text and live events. Solo exhibitions in 2016 include the Whitechapel Gallery, London; Frieze Projects New York; Images Festival Toronto; 32nd São Paolo Biennale; a major new project for the Arts Council Collection's 70th Anniversary Commissions; and a contribution to Borealis Contemporary Music Festival, Norway. Recent solo projects include Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, the 14th Istanbul Biennial, Performa New York, Sheffield Doc/Fest, Opening Times (otdac.org) (all 2015), Bunker259, Dundee Contemporary Arts, Serpentine Galleries (all 2014) and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art (2013). Phillipson is also an award-winning poet and has published three collections of poetry: a pamphlet with Faber & Faber in 2009; NOT AN ESSAY (Penned in the Margins, 2012); and Instant-flex 718 (Bloodaxe, 2013), which was shortlisted for the 2013 Fenton Aldeburgh First Collection Prize and the Michael Murphy Memorial Prize. She was named a Next Generation Poet in 2014. Watch the video again Heather Phillipson website (Listen: )
