WFMU: Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza: Playlist from January 8, 2014

Listener comments!
	2:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Great, internet trouble already
	2:02pm pacific standard simon: Plugged in.
	2:03pm listener james from westwood: hey hey kenzo & all!!
	2:03pm Rich in Washington: Dropped out
	2:03pm Bliss: Hi.
	2:04pm Rich in Washington: I always thought Gnossienne sounded like a French chicken/potato dish.
	2:04pm pacific standard simon: Buzz-buzz, a-diddle-it.
	2:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wow, this is annoying
	2:06pm Rich in Washington: I think it's alternating between the GTDR auto-stream and KLERE. I hope I didn't jinx it with my stupid entry comment.
	2:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This is enough to make me, uh...
	2:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Well, this isn't getting any better.
	2:07pm pacific standard simon: ...plotz?
	2:08pm Bliss: Don't, uh.
	2:08pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I'm gonna reset something. Back in 1 minute.
	2:08pm kat330: Yep, streaming in and out here, too. Hey, hi, Kenzo and HNY!
	2:09pm kat330: [Good timing still intact for 2014 I see]
	2:09pm Bliss: In thre meantime, the gang can converse. :) Rodman in N.K.---wierd.
	2:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK, time to take up religion so I can pray
	2:10pm Bliss: or, you can pray to no thing.
	2:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I do want more no thing.
	2:12pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: shuffling cats moths brooms and watery candlelight lanterns and street glowings : )
	2:12pm kat330: After 30 hrs.+ w/ no streaming water in da house (frozen pipes despite leaving the drizzle and all), guess only makes sense for no stream here.
	2:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh no, kathouse freeze!
	2:12pm Carmichael: Speaking of streams, pardon me for a few minutes.
	2:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I left the audio stream on drizzle.
	2:14pm Timeshift Kenzo: prrrrrrrr
	2:14pm Bliss: If anyone here is hiring, I'll consider moving.
	2:14pm kat330: Again, HNY (I wasn't here last week -- or was that next week?)! Just 40 mins. ago our stream returned to the pipes, but seem to transfer to the GTDR stream, for a bit anyway.
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: @kat330: That sucks! Hope your plumbing is OK!
	2:16pm kat330: Thanks, Rich, and HNY to you! Yeah, well, the verdict is out on that because it is certainly not up to ordinary pressure. Our landlord said he'd check it out tonight if the pressure remains as low as it is now. But having ANY running water is cause for celebration!
	2:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Helllllloooooooooooo pacific standard simon, listener james from westwood, Rich in Washington, Bliss, kat330, streaming Carmichael, and quiet and future friends!
	2:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This is mighty frustrating. Frozen internet wires.
	2:18pm kat330: Ahh, just on the word "stop" the stream stopped!
	2:19pm earrie: Oh I sent to kenzo@.. Hm. Hey Carmicheal: The Ondioline photo. Greatness.
	2:19pm Bliss: Frozen wires will be frozen wires.
	2:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Well, I'm not sure how much of this any of us can stand
	2:21pm kat330: @Bliss: Philo and I also will consider moving -- been considering that seriously for 3 years now.
	2:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh I forgot to reply to earrie@.. !
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: that clip was my incoming message tape on my phone for many years in the early 90s/
	2:22pm Timeshift everywhere: happening, flappening, flaps and flips...
	2:22pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: Yes, the bass cycle feels like a root vegetable : ) watching one grow underground somehow
	2:23pm Timeshift Bliss: It justgets bigger and bigger under the surface of the Earth....then......it's done.
	2:23pm earrie: Pff and no bother. Glad to know it wasn't a dead-end send.
	2:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): earrie, thanks for your private expression of great, greatness!
	2:26pm nanantatee: i must notve been very careful
	2:26pm kat330: At least we didn't lose electricity or heat. OTOH, water is our only utility where we pay for using more than we ever do anyway -- a "minimum" is imposed disincentivizing the city to conserve -- so we'll see no silver lining with a lower bill next time.
	2:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): To remind me or perhaps yourself later about coming back for more of these live collages, you can click the star in the very far left upper corner of this page!
	2:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): But dagnab that internet connection today. I will not stream the show using this method again. Too unreliable.
	2:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): When I post the archive (tomorrow?) it will be free and clear of this trouble.
	2:29pm kat330: If I do that, it will unclick you, You want that?
	2:30pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We are full of stars.
	2:30pm Timeshifted in Richington: Me, I unclick from you. #futureGaryNumansongtitles
	2:31pm kat330: OK then.
	2:31pm Bliss: Jeez, for a dog walkign job you need a smartphone and you must be willing to do a lot of texting. I feel like giving up. Can't you walk a dog without owning a smartphone?
	2:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK you don't have to UNCLICK. It already gloweth.
	2:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): earrie's presence was nearly foretold by possibilityshifts
	2:32pm Bliss: I am glad I don't need a smartphone to listen to the show.
	2:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): So, I'm tempted to call this airing!
	2:33pm Bliss: Screw it, Ken. It's still cool, even with the cutouts.
	2:33pm Richshifted Wash Isington: There are stars on either side of the main heading. One giveth, the other taketh away
	2:33pm earrie: Possibility and/or probability.
	2:33pm Bliss: Kenzo, I mean.
	2:33pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: it is eerie the connectivity between sounds of silence and the mini-screen "revolution"
	2:35pm RichKenzoed Starington: Click every star in your sky.
	2:36pm Bliss: In the future, will you have to own and carry a "BrilliantPhone TM" in order to apply for any job?
	2:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I always hang out at a bank of payphones waiting for gigs.
	2:37pm Rich shifted a ton, didn't he?: I don't like to look at my my screen when I'm outside. I can't see the stars.
	2:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Today is mutated pianos.
	2:38pm Bliss: Between midnight and 5am you may be able to see lights in the sky. I don't know the details. The phone thing is crazy. I can't even type about it for fear of it being read and hurting my chances of earning a living.
	2:38pm pacific shifted simon: I might be here.
	2:39pm Mike Noble: The Drummer keeps demanding tribute.
	2:39pm Wash Rich in Ington: I have opted out of the smartphone thing entirely. It is possible. Probably even necessary.
	2:41pm Rich in Washington: I'd rather be a mutated piano than a member of homo-smartphonicus, slouching towards oblivion.
	2:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I've got almost no phone at all except the old one with the bell
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: the body will wither, with only nerves connected to genitals and two texting thumbs.
	2:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): genitals, yeah, right, we'll still have those
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: But who makes your bell ring, Kenzo? You can't LIKE anything with a rotary dial.
	2:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): then, also overall the mysterious ways that our holding back can be from nature, waiting until the needed times to bloom or shelter
	2:44pm Bliss: More and more people are asking for their employees to own one....I guess. I have had no phone, even woth a bell, fo ten years. Just a voice mail service. Now I use google to call out---which is gross, of couse. Needing a smartphone and having to be willing to send "tons" of texts is ......... I fell speechless.
	2:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Alas I don't use a rotary phone, but it's from 1981 and the very first touch tone phone we ever had. Long cord.
	2:45pm Rich in Washington: Jack Creley was in Dr. Strangelove. I just read it. But never in another Cronenberg movie. He was THAT good!
	2:46pm Bliss: "WITH TERRIBLE INTERNET DROPOUTS" Informative. :)
	2:46pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Stream dropout #25 and #26 back to back.
	2:46pm Rich in Washington: I still have a really old, pre-modular rotary phone but I only use it on special occasions. Like power-outages.
	2:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Dropout #27 the longest yet.
	2:47pm Doug Schulkind: I think my vacuum cleaner was screwing up your connection, Kenzo. Vacuum off, stream on. No problem! (I love double u words like vacuum. "continuum" "residuum" etc.) OK, before I could send the above, the stream connection screwed up again. So much for my vacuum's extra powers. On the other hand, this electro chop-up could potentially pass for a Ken's Last Ever... (in a good way)
	2:47pm Bliss: Rich, how hard would it be for a guy that's nver texted or woned a cellphone to learn the ins and outs of a "smartphone"?
	2:48pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It sounds like Ken's Last Ever circa 2000.
	2:48pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: !! some of the wind chimes here are under a nighttime lantern... i didn't realize that it could be a gentle homage to sounds of silence : )
	2:48pm Bliss: How hard it would be for a guy that's never proofread his comments?
	2:49pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Bliss, I am having trouble imagining why you need a computer phone for most jobs.
	2:50pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: ``with you standing here, i can tell the world what it means to love`` today is a special song : ) (any meaning that can take)
	2:50pm Bliss: would it be, not it would be Unbelievable.
	2:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wow, the sound of silence in triple rounds segment got completely clobbered.
	2:50pm Doug Schulkind: @Kenzo I blame the NSA.
	2:50pm Carmichael: 128 stream keeps dropping out on me. Talk about sounds of silence ...
	2:51pm Rich in Washington: Bliss: Really hard! Me texting is like watching a cat with a piece of tape stuck to its paw. It's only cute for a while.
	2:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes, I am painfully aware of each and every dropout. Sorry all. The archive will be free of this technical exhaust.
	2:51pm Bliss: I just got talked to about some possible dog walking jobs for good pay. smartphone required, "tons" of texting a given. I guess the masses are getting more and more accustomed to cancelling or changing plans on a moments notice. Who cares? There's art going on here.
	2:51pm Timeshift Kenzo: thank you for your night paintings
	2:52pm Doug Schulkind: @Kenzo I was listening via the pop-up player and got caught in one of those hiccup episodes when the connection is lost. Listeners are still required to stop and re-start the pop-up player whenever the stream switches from one source to another (or, as in the current situation, when the connection is lost and reconnected).
	2:52pm Timeshift David: On this cold night, not knowing who or what is responsible for this degree of degrees, not knowing how much wood to leave in the woodstove before retiring, I know that I am glad that we are all here.
	2:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh that infernal pop-up player.
	2:53pm Timeshift Bliss: Not many woodstoves in NYC.
	2:54pm Bliss: Wonder what Hawking thought of the guy that read his words.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: The more freelance and/or mobile the occupation, the quicker you must adjust to mobile communication.
	2:54pm Rich in Washington: I noticed last night that the WFMU app was stalling, quitting, required lots of buffering, etc. I assumed it was weather related.
	2:54pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This backing music is in reference to Rewrite Your Agreement With Reality, over 9 years old, sampled later in this show, and hearable here: lastever.org...
	2:55pm Timeshift David: That makes the ones that are there all the more precious.
	2:56pm pacific standard simon: How about a mash-up of Stephen Hawking & Alan Watts?
	2:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Briefly in the background is The Chill Room, a radio show which from time to time samples this show. I didn't succeed at finding my bit; gave up, too scratchy.
	2:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh wait, I just recognized it for 4 seconds!
	2:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): "Oh, OK, pacific standard simon!"
	2:57pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: Ken thank you most deeply for your night paintings also!! i'm realising that what you share is one of the most friendly and approachable concerts/live artwork fullness. most concerts include needed but present separations! only a few other artists (known to me) help ease this boundary and you know them too! : ) :)
	2:58pm pacific standard simon: Whose birthday was two days ago.
	2:58pm pacific standard simon: I am a black hole.
	2:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We're a motley crew of terrible internet dropouts.
	2:59pm Fakeshift pacific standard simon: How about a mashup of Alan Watts and Jack Kornfield?
	3:00pm Bliss: Ram Dass's brother thought he was THE Christ.
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: We are all strings.
	3:00pm Timeshift Kenzo: That makes the ones that are there all the more precious.
	3:00pm Bliss: I don't feel witty enough.
	3:02pm jefferson starship simon: I feel dodgewoody.
	3:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My impression of Hawking's worldview is that it matches typical scientists. Thinks technology is the answer to the world's problems. Doesn't suspect it's the cause.
	3:03pm Timeshift Kenzo: Not many like us on earth.
	3:03pm Carmichael: Is this Jello Biafra?
	3:03pm Bliss: and it IS the cause. Result of a greed mindset, if you ask me.
	3:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Jello at the time hadn't used the internet.
	3:04pm pacific standard simon: When I hear Jello, I reach for my NERF gun.
	3:05pm Bliss: I didn't learn how to use the internet until 2000. "So what, Bliss."
	3:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Scientists tend to think science is the answer, because they're usually particularly shielded from non-tech warmth, and because it's intellectually tempting.
	3:06pm Bliss: I mean, Bliss.
	3:08pm Bliss: "intelectually tempting" is right. One should laugh off that temptation and live life. Of course, Hawking depended on technology to move around, etc.
	3:08pm pacific standard simon: I saw what you did there, Kenzo.
	3:08pm Kurt Gottschalk: i'm not sure it's accurate to say that any day of the week i'm listening to the archives. i mean, truth be told i rarely listen to archives. but it's certainly possible that i could. however it's far from true that any day of the week i might be found listening to the archives. that's just hyperbolic. anyway, good show.
	3:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): And it biased him.
	3:09pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: winter and spring will be very special this year, i'm glad for everything you will do, being able to create and living within creativity in each way : )
	3:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I will remember your words, Kurt.
	3:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): But I will not remember your bearing.
	3:11pm Mike Noble: hey folks, i'm a relatively new listener to the radio extravaganza. is the "i'm quitting soon" thing kenzo's schtick (thus the name of the show)? or is he really thinking about calling it a day?
	3:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): pacificss: I didn't see?!
	3:11pm Bliss: blackbearing
	3:12pm Mike Noble: and any advice for a new listener? should i start old and follow the march of time? travel backwards? hop around?
	3:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Suicide is painless
	3:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): By the way, Suicide is Painless was written by Johnny Mandel, who arranged the piano piece heard at the beginning of the show.
	3:13pm Bliss: What do you have back there on Earth?
	3:13pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: overlaying in... mother stands for comfort!! and it is sounding mysterious... : ) i love the whistling forest wisps
	3:14pm Bliss: A pool?
	3:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike Noble: Follow your march of time. They go in order except they all refer forward and backwards. You can enjoy many paths. But definitely do a few to appreciate the multipath nature.
	3:15pm pacific standard simon: My zoology professor expressed disappointment that so many of us turned in animal observation papers about mammals, demonstrating a mammalian bias.
	3:16pm Kenzo in third person: He is definitely thinking of calling it a day, although he is also aware of his own history. He does remember a few times he really did quit.
	3:16pm Timeshift Kenzo: letting go
	3:17pm Timeshift Kenzo: allowing the past to carry me
	3:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): mmm 128k + 128k = swishy
	3:18pm Bliss: You can quit and come back if you like. You can change your mind and not quit, then reconsider and quit. You can do whatever you like. Yae!
	3:19pm Kenzo as self-help: He really needs to slow it down to make room for a few other things, like breathing and sleeping.
	3:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I might not give myself a reference.
	3:19pm pacific standard simon: I reject your reality, and substitute my own!
	3:20pm Bliss: You can use me as a reference.
	3:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I have a tendency towards self-reference.
	3:22pm pacific standard simon: I will build a universe from folded paper, or perhaps tortillas filled with delicious beans, rice and meat!
	3:23pm pacific standard simon: God must, by his nature, be self-referential.
	3:23pm Bliss: not to be confused with self-preference. ?
	3:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I have a tendency towards self-deprecance.
	3:24pm Mike Noble: Question for Kenzo or frequent listeners: On a recent program, there was heavy usage of the string part from "Street Hassle." I know Scharpling also used that sample earlier this year (and I'm not asking as some completist FOT, it was literally the only episode of TBS I heard all year--not a fan). Here's the question: coincidence? Or was one of you referencing the other?
	3:25pm Mike Noble: Coincidence seems most likely. It's a pretty evocative part.
	3:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: I did it months before he did, on same station; that's what I know. Of course I was doing sound collage for 19 years at that point.
	3:26pm Mike Noble: I thought TBS's wind-down stories were peculiar; a lot of press sounded as if Scharpling had invented the art of sound collage or something.
	3:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): March 14, 2013: Conduct the Symphony of Your Life: lastever.org...
	3:27pm Pretend Scharpling: He did it months before I did, on same station; that's what I know. Of course he was doing sound collage for 19 years at that point.
	3:28pm Mike Noble: the history of KLERE still confuses me. I heard that show live in October and hadn't realized it was from March. The playlist search doesn't generally help with clarification.
	3:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike Noble: I only knew he did it because you mentioned it on your first time here. I was surprised when I heard it! Very similar sequencing of the Lou Reed piece. I truly don't know why that happened that way.
	3:29pm Mike Noble: An Internet dropout sounds like part of a bicycle frame that is WiFi-enabled.
	3:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes, confusing is Baked In. But a very completist view of KLERE is here: lastever.org
	3:30pm pacific standard simon: I do build models in my head, but the diagrams look like poems.
	3:30pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: Yes : ) it is surprising that a package will be connected to something that i didn't know about a long time ago!
	3:31pm Mike Noble: Ken, even if you quit, some day I want to talk to you about coming up to DC to do a one-off on pirate radio.
	3:33pm Bliss: Kenzo, definitely stay open to doing one offs at least. That'd be cool.
	3:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: I do a live show live to an audience nearly every week. But I air multiple times in some weeks due to multi-station, and so some weeks I replay the same content after the live happening. But then other weeks, I can't physically be near a radio studio, and so I dig up recordings of past shows I especially liked. Nothing about the shows is ever pre-made. Has to be live, at least the first time.
	3:33pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: Yes, knowing the customs are where i fall short. : (
	3:33pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: but i am as anyone, nature, so it is where i'm lifted up and helped as well
	3:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: DC is in my travel future.
	3:34pm Timeshift Bliss: My friend Timmy had model of a skeleton hand coming out of the grave.
	3:35pm Mike Noble: if you have a current booking in DC, can you mention it on your mailing list? or is it just a social visit?
	3:35pm pacific standard simon: You're starting to sound like my therapist, man.
	3:35pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: !! somehow the show gaps feel very connected to the show each time they happen. this one is most surprising
	3:36pm Bliss: I loved the old movie "monsters". They always got a raw deal.
	3:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Having time to keep up with mailing list about show is an example of something I will do when I stop doing the show.
	3:36pm pacific standard simon: I've SEEN my grave; it's in a beautiful place.
	3:37pm Timeshift Bliss: Will we get the show back?
	3:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): pss: We're almost out of time
	3:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh, here's the part everyone was talking about. Bad internet last night, too.
	3:38pm Bliss: You can't try to be cool and enjoy yourself in the comments section at the same time.
	3:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We are just one thing at a time.
	3:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): without time
	3:39pm Rich in Washington: that time hasn't happened here yet. It's not even one o'clock on my side.
	3:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): You're in Hinterland.
	3:40pm Rich in Washington: I wonder if we'll ever adopt UMT time, due to all this silly internet interconnectedness?
	3:41pm Rich in Washington: it's far far, far far far, far far far away
	3:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Show's gonna end at 4:03pm ET today. 1:03 for Rich.
	3:43pm pacific standard simon: If I started a show, would you comment?
	3:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: I haven't scheduled a DC show but I will let you know. Scheduled shows are always posted at lastever.org. Sometimes emailed.
	3:43pm simonshift Kenzo: I already have
	3:45pm Rich in Washington: Bringing people to things and things to people is good. Transformative, even.
	3:45pm pacific standard simon: You can hand a phone to a horse, but you can't make him speak. Unless his name is Ed.
	3:47pm Rich in Washington: Why might you not make it to your 20 year anniversary? Can't you drive a couple of extra miles to make the odometer kick over?
	3:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): crawling towards distant mirages
	3:48pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: these ideas feel very helpful... beyond what i can express! identity can be perplexing when it is given stasis / but some stasis seems to come naturally as stones holding together a riverbed
	3:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): In 1985 I played creative video games. In 2014 I wrote programs to automatically shuffle process priorities around on my computer based on my activities.
	3:52pm Mike Noble: do you ever do special radio studio shows in other cities? does the illegality of pirate radio scare people? i'm pretty sure the #1 problem with my idea is our technical squalor as dealbreaker.
	3:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): In 2043 I will be living in a floating community with Rich in Washington without any electronics.
	3:53pm earrie: Accounting for n-dimensions is more than a little tricky, eh?
	3:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Everything anyone does violates at least one law.
	3:53pm Bliss: Pirate radio "hijacks" frequencies certified stations are not using?
	3:54pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): They're already there, they can't be hijacked. It's like land ownership but even moreso.
	3:54pm Rich in Washington: We will self-photosynthesize for food and radiate radio with our brains.
	3:55pm Bliss: that's why I put it in quotation marks
	3:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Gotta be licensed. This show is licensed in 52 states.
	3:58pm Rich in Washington: In some states, you have to take this show in the presence of your doctor.
	3:58pm Bliss: Licenses are weird.
	3:58pm Timeshift Bliss: Thanks. Which show will be #500? Nevermind. I see a total.
	3:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Fortunately the doctor will be staring at a screen (ooh viral video)
	3:59pm Present Moment Bliss: Take care, everyone.
	4:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Next week will be a special from the vault, resurrected and restored in some helpful way.
	4:00pm Timeshift Bliss: Nice show. I needed that.
	4:00pm Timeshift Kenzo: me too, maybe
	4:00pm Mike Noble: Kenzo: to return to "Street Hassle" one more time... did you ever consider going deeper into the track for another sampling? I think after the first song section the strings return but with a different stereo mix. Could be some interesting isolates.
	4:01pm earrie: Thanks for the good listening, Kenzo.
	4:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: I've used that piece a few times in 2013, and did different things with it.
	4:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks everyone for being here and there.
	4:02pm Rich in Washington: thanks, Kenzo!
	4:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): And thanks to Jack Creley.
	4:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I'll post the archive by tomorrow, no skipping!
	4:02pm Bliss: Here we are, still.
	4:02pm pacific standard simon: Me too, buddy, me too.
	4:02pm Mike Noble: I'll have to listen back some more times.
	4:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): shhhhhhhh gonna have some silence
	4:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): exhale inhale exhale
	4:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (I meant silence on the stream. A customary 10 seconds)
	4:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OH MY GOD WHAT IF NOBODY EVER SPEAKS EVER AGAIN

Listener comments!
	2:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Great, internet trouble already
	2:02pm pacific standard simon: Plugged in.
	2:03pm listener james from westwood: hey hey kenzo & all!!
	2:03pm Rich in Washington: Dropped out
	2:03pm Bliss: Hi.
	2:04pm Rich in Washington: I always thought Gnossienne sounded like a French chicken/potato dish.
	2:04pm pacific standard simon: Buzz-buzz, a-diddle-it.
	2:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wow, this is annoying
	2:06pm Rich in Washington: I think it's alternating between the GTDR auto-stream and KLERE. I hope I didn't jinx it with my stupid entry comment.
	2:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This is enough to make me, uh...
	2:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Well, this isn't getting any better.
	2:07pm pacific standard simon: ...plotz?
	2:08pm Bliss: Don't, uh.
	2:08pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I'm gonna reset something. Back in 1 minute.
	2:08pm kat330: Yep, streaming in and out here, too. Hey, hi, Kenzo and HNY!
	2:09pm kat330: [Good timing still intact for 2014 I see]
	2:09pm Bliss: In thre meantime, the gang can converse. :) Rodman in N.K.---wierd.
	2:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK, time to take up religion so I can pray
	2:10pm Bliss: or, you can pray to no thing.
	2:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I do want more no thing.
	2:12pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: shuffling cats moths brooms and watery candlelight lanterns and street glowings : )
	2:12pm kat330: After 30 hrs.+ w/ no streaming water in da house (frozen pipes despite leaving the drizzle and all), guess only makes sense for no stream here.
	2:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh no, kathouse freeze!
	2:12pm Carmichael: Speaking of streams, pardon me for a few minutes.
	2:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I left the audio stream on drizzle.
	2:14pm Timeshift Kenzo: prrrrrrrr
	2:14pm Bliss: If anyone here is hiring, I'll consider moving.
	2:14pm kat330: Again, HNY (I wasn't here last week -- or was that next week?)! Just 40 mins. ago our stream returned to the pipes, but seem to transfer to the GTDR stream, for a bit anyway.
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: @kat330: That sucks! Hope your plumbing is OK!
	2:16pm kat330: Thanks, Rich, and HNY to you! Yeah, well, the verdict is out on that because it is certainly not up to ordinary pressure. Our landlord said he'd check it out tonight if the pressure remains as low as it is now. But having ANY running water is cause for celebration!
	2:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Helllllloooooooooooo pacific standard simon, listener james from westwood, Rich in Washington, Bliss, kat330, streaming Carmichael, and quiet and future friends!
	2:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This is mighty frustrating. Frozen internet wires.
	2:18pm kat330: Ahh, just on the word "stop" the stream stopped!
	2:19pm earrie: Oh I sent to kenzo@.. Hm. Hey Carmicheal: The Ondioline photo. Greatness.
	2:19pm Bliss: Frozen wires will be frozen wires.
	2:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Well, I'm not sure how much of this any of us can stand
	2:21pm kat330: @Bliss: Philo and I also will consider moving -- been considering that seriously for 3 years now.
	2:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh I forgot to reply to earrie@.. !
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: that clip was my incoming message tape on my phone for many years in the early 90s/
	2:22pm Timeshift everywhere: happening, flappening, flaps and flips...
	2:22pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: Yes, the bass cycle feels like a root vegetable : ) watching one grow underground somehow
	2:23pm Timeshift Bliss: It justgets bigger and bigger under the surface of the Earth....then......it's done.
	2:23pm earrie: Pff and no bother. Glad to know it wasn't a dead-end send.
	2:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): earrie, thanks for your private expression of great, greatness!
	2:26pm nanantatee: i must notve been very careful
	2:26pm kat330: At least we didn't lose electricity or heat. OTOH, water is our only utility where we pay for using more than we ever do anyway -- a "minimum" is imposed disincentivizing the city to conserve -- so we'll see no silver lining with a lower bill next time.
	2:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): To remind me or perhaps yourself later about coming back for more of these live collages, you can click the star in the very far left upper corner of this page!
	2:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): But dagnab that internet connection today. I will not stream the show using this method again. Too unreliable.
	2:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): When I post the archive (tomorrow?) it will be free and clear of this trouble.
	2:29pm kat330: If I do that, it will unclick you, You want that?
	2:30pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We are full of stars.
	2:30pm Timeshifted in Richington: Me, I unclick from you. #futureGaryNumansongtitles
	2:31pm kat330: OK then.
	2:31pm Bliss: Jeez, for a dog walkign job you need a smartphone and you must be willing to do a lot of texting. I feel like giving up. Can't you walk a dog without owning a smartphone?
	2:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK you don't have to UNCLICK. It already gloweth.
	2:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): earrie's presence was nearly foretold by possibilityshifts
	2:32pm Bliss: I am glad I don't need a smartphone to listen to the show.
	2:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): So, I'm tempted to call this airing!
	2:33pm Bliss: Screw it, Ken. It's still cool, even with the cutouts.
	2:33pm Richshifted Wash Isington: There are stars on either side of the main heading. One giveth, the other taketh away
	2:33pm earrie: Possibility and/or probability.
	2:33pm Bliss: Kenzo, I mean.
	2:33pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: it is eerie the connectivity between sounds of silence and the mini-screen "revolution"
	2:35pm RichKenzoed Starington: Click every star in your sky.
	2:36pm Bliss: In the future, will you have to own and carry a "BrilliantPhone TM" in order to apply for any job?
	2:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I always hang out at a bank of payphones waiting for gigs.
	2:37pm Rich shifted a ton, didn't he?: I don't like to look at my my screen when I'm outside. I can't see the stars.
	2:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Today is mutated pianos.
	2:38pm Bliss: Between midnight and 5am you may be able to see lights in the sky. I don't know the details. The phone thing is crazy. I can't even type about it for fear of it being read and hurting my chances of earning a living.
	2:38pm pacific shifted simon: I might be here.
	2:39pm Mike Noble: The Drummer keeps demanding tribute.
	2:39pm Wash Rich in Ington: I have opted out of the smartphone thing entirely. It is possible. Probably even necessary.
	2:41pm Rich in Washington: I'd rather be a mutated piano than a member of homo-smartphonicus, slouching towards oblivion.
	2:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I've got almost no phone at all except the old one with the bell
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: the body will wither, with only nerves connected to genitals and two texting thumbs.
	2:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): genitals, yeah, right, we'll still have those
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: But who makes your bell ring, Kenzo? You can't LIKE anything with a rotary dial.
	2:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): then, also overall the mysterious ways that our holding back can be from nature, waiting until the needed times to bloom or shelter
	2:44pm Bliss: More and more people are asking for their employees to own one....I guess. I have had no phone, even woth a bell, fo ten years. Just a voice mail service. Now I use google to call out---which is gross, of couse. Needing a smartphone and having to be willing to send "tons" of texts is ......... I fell speechless.
	2:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Alas I don't use a rotary phone, but it's from 1981 and the very first touch tone phone we ever had. Long cord.
	2:45pm Rich in Washington: Jack Creley was in Dr. Strangelove. I just read it. But never in another Cronenberg movie. He was THAT good!
	2:46pm Bliss: "WITH TERRIBLE INTERNET DROPOUTS" Informative. :)
	2:46pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Stream dropout #25 and #26 back to back.
	2:46pm Rich in Washington: I still have a really old, pre-modular rotary phone but I only use it on special occasions. Like power-outages.
	2:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Dropout #27 the longest yet.
	2:47pm Doug Schulkind: I think my vacuum cleaner was screwing up your connection, Kenzo. Vacuum off, stream on. No problem! (I love double u words like vacuum. "continuum" "residuum" etc.) OK, before I could send the above, the stream connection screwed up again. So much for my vacuum's extra powers. On the other hand, this electro chop-up could potentially pass for a Ken's Last Ever... (in a good way)
	2:47pm Bliss: Rich, how hard would it be for a guy that's nver texted or woned a cellphone to learn the ins and outs of a "smartphone"?
	2:48pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It sounds like Ken's Last Ever circa 2000.
	2:48pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: !! some of the wind chimes here are under a nighttime lantern... i didn't realize that it could be a gentle homage to sounds of silence : )
	2:48pm Bliss: How hard it would be for a guy that's never proofread his comments?
	2:49pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Bliss, I am having trouble imagining why you need a computer phone for most jobs.
	2:50pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: ``with you standing here, i can tell the world what it means to love`` today is a special song : ) (any meaning that can take)
	2:50pm Bliss: would it be, not it would be Unbelievable.
	2:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wow, the sound of silence in triple rounds segment got completely clobbered.
	2:50pm Doug Schulkind: @Kenzo I blame the NSA.
	2:50pm Carmichael: 128 stream keeps dropping out on me. Talk about sounds of silence ...
	2:51pm Rich in Washington: Bliss: Really hard! Me texting is like watching a cat with a piece of tape stuck to its paw. It's only cute for a while.
	2:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes, I am painfully aware of each and every dropout. Sorry all. The archive will be free of this technical exhaust.
	2:51pm Bliss: I just got talked to about some possible dog walking jobs for good pay. smartphone required, "tons" of texting a given. I guess the masses are getting more and more accustomed to cancelling or changing plans on a moments notice. Who cares? There's art going on here.
	2:51pm Timeshift Kenzo: thank you for your night paintings
	2:52pm Doug Schulkind: @Kenzo I was listening via the pop-up player and got caught in one of those hiccup episodes when the connection is lost. Listeners are still required to stop and re-start the pop-up player whenever the stream switches from one source to another (or, as in the current situation, when the connection is lost and reconnected).
	2:52pm Timeshift David: On this cold night, not knowing who or what is responsible for this degree of degrees, not knowing how much wood to leave in the woodstove before retiring, I know that I am glad that we are all here.
	2:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh that infernal pop-up player.
	2:53pm Timeshift Bliss: Not many woodstoves in NYC.
	2:54pm Bliss: Wonder what Hawking thought of the guy that read his words.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: The more freelance and/or mobile the occupation, the quicker you must adjust to mobile communication.
	2:54pm Rich in Washington: I noticed last night that the WFMU app was stalling, quitting, required lots of buffering, etc. I assumed it was weather related.
	2:54pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This backing music is in reference to Rewrite Your Agreement With Reality, over 9 years old, sampled later in this show, and hearable here: lastever.org...
	2:55pm Timeshift David: That makes the ones that are there all the more precious.
	2:56pm pacific standard simon: How about a mash-up of Stephen Hawking & Alan Watts?
	2:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Briefly in the background is The Chill Room, a radio show which from time to time samples this show. I didn't succeed at finding my bit; gave up, too scratchy.
	2:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh wait, I just recognized it for 4 seconds!
	2:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): "Oh, OK, pacific standard simon!"
	2:57pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: Ken thank you most deeply for your night paintings also!! i'm realising that what you share is one of the most friendly and approachable concerts/live artwork fullness. most concerts include needed but present separations! only a few other artists (known to me) help ease this boundary and you know them too! : ) :)
	2:58pm pacific standard simon: Whose birthday was two days ago.
	2:58pm pacific standard simon: I am a black hole.
	2:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We're a motley crew of terrible internet dropouts.
	2:59pm Fakeshift pacific standard simon: How about a mashup of Alan Watts and Jack Kornfield?
	3:00pm Bliss: Ram Dass's brother thought he was THE Christ.
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: We are all strings.
	3:00pm Timeshift Kenzo: That makes the ones that are there all the more precious.
	3:00pm Bliss: I don't feel witty enough.
	3:02pm jefferson starship simon: I feel dodgewoody.
	3:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My impression of Hawking's worldview is that it matches typical scientists. Thinks technology is the answer to the world's problems. Doesn't suspect it's the cause.
	3:03pm Timeshift Kenzo: Not many like us on earth.
	3:03pm Carmichael: Is this Jello Biafra?
	3:03pm Bliss: and it IS the cause. Result of a greed mindset, if you ask me.
	3:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Jello at the time hadn't used the internet.
	3:04pm pacific standard simon: When I hear Jello, I reach for my NERF gun.
	3:05pm Bliss: I didn't learn how to use the internet until 2000. "So what, Bliss."
	3:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Scientists tend to think science is the answer, because they're usually particularly shielded from non-tech warmth, and because it's intellectually tempting.
	3:06pm Bliss: I mean, Bliss.
	3:08pm Bliss: "intelectually tempting" is right. One should laugh off that temptation and live life. Of course, Hawking depended on technology to move around, etc.
	3:08pm pacific standard simon: I saw what you did there, Kenzo.
	3:08pm Kurt Gottschalk: i'm not sure it's accurate to say that any day of the week i'm listening to the archives. i mean, truth be told i rarely listen to archives. but it's certainly possible that i could. however it's far from true that any day of the week i might be found listening to the archives. that's just hyperbolic. anyway, good show.
	3:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): And it biased him.
	3:09pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: winter and spring will be very special this year, i'm glad for everything you will do, being able to create and living within creativity in each way : )
	3:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I will remember your words, Kurt.
	3:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): But I will not remember your bearing.
	3:11pm Mike Noble: hey folks, i'm a relatively new listener to the radio extravaganza. is the "i'm quitting soon" thing kenzo's schtick (thus the name of the show)? or is he really thinking about calling it a day?
	3:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): pacificss: I didn't see?!
	3:11pm Bliss: blackbearing
	3:12pm Mike Noble: and any advice for a new listener? should i start old and follow the march of time? travel backwards? hop around?
	3:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Suicide is painless
	3:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): By the way, Suicide is Painless was written by Johnny Mandel, who arranged the piano piece heard at the beginning of the show.
	3:13pm Bliss: What do you have back there on Earth?
	3:13pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: overlaying in... mother stands for comfort!! and it is sounding mysterious... : ) i love the whistling forest wisps
	3:14pm Bliss: A pool?
	3:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike Noble: Follow your march of time. They go in order except they all refer forward and backwards. You can enjoy many paths. But definitely do a few to appreciate the multipath nature.
	3:15pm pacific standard simon: My zoology professor expressed disappointment that so many of us turned in animal observation papers about mammals, demonstrating a mammalian bias.
	3:16pm Kenzo in third person: He is definitely thinking of calling it a day, although he is also aware of his own history. He does remember a few times he really did quit.
	3:16pm Timeshift Kenzo: letting go
	3:17pm Timeshift Kenzo: allowing the past to carry me
	3:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): mmm 128k + 128k = swishy
	3:18pm Bliss: You can quit and come back if you like. You can change your mind and not quit, then reconsider and quit. You can do whatever you like. Yae!
	3:19pm Kenzo as self-help: He really needs to slow it down to make room for a few other things, like breathing and sleeping.
	3:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I might not give myself a reference.
	3:19pm pacific standard simon: I reject your reality, and substitute my own!
	3:20pm Bliss: You can use me as a reference.
	3:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I have a tendency towards self-reference.
	3:22pm pacific standard simon: I will build a universe from folded paper, or perhaps tortillas filled with delicious beans, rice and meat!
	3:23pm pacific standard simon: God must, by his nature, be self-referential.
	3:23pm Bliss: not to be confused with self-preference. ?
	3:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I have a tendency towards self-deprecance.
	3:24pm Mike Noble: Question for Kenzo or frequent listeners: On a recent program, there was heavy usage of the string part from "Street Hassle." I know Scharpling also used that sample earlier this year (and I'm not asking as some completist FOT, it was literally the only episode of TBS I heard all year--not a fan). Here's the question: coincidence? Or was one of you referencing the other?
	3:25pm Mike Noble: Coincidence seems most likely. It's a pretty evocative part.
	3:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: I did it months before he did, on same station; that's what I know. Of course I was doing sound collage for 19 years at that point.
	3:26pm Mike Noble: I thought TBS's wind-down stories were peculiar; a lot of press sounded as if Scharpling had invented the art of sound collage or something.
	3:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): March 14, 2013: Conduct the Symphony of Your Life: lastever.org...
	3:27pm Pretend Scharpling: He did it months before I did, on same station; that's what I know. Of course he was doing sound collage for 19 years at that point.
	3:28pm Mike Noble: the history of KLERE still confuses me. I heard that show live in October and hadn't realized it was from March. The playlist search doesn't generally help with clarification.
	3:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike Noble: I only knew he did it because you mentioned it on your first time here. I was surprised when I heard it! Very similar sequencing of the Lou Reed piece. I truly don't know why that happened that way.
	3:29pm Mike Noble: An Internet dropout sounds like part of a bicycle frame that is WiFi-enabled.
	3:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes, confusing is Baked In. But a very completist view of KLERE is here: lastever.org
	3:30pm pacific standard simon: I do build models in my head, but the diagrams look like poems.
	3:30pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: Yes : ) it is surprising that a package will be connected to something that i didn't know about a long time ago!
	3:31pm Mike Noble: Ken, even if you quit, some day I want to talk to you about coming up to DC to do a one-off on pirate radio.
	3:33pm Bliss: Kenzo, definitely stay open to doing one offs at least. That'd be cool.
	3:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: I do a live show live to an audience nearly every week. But I air multiple times in some weeks due to multi-station, and so some weeks I replay the same content after the live happening. But then other weeks, I can't physically be near a radio studio, and so I dig up recordings of past shows I especially liked. Nothing about the shows is ever pre-made. Has to be live, at least the first time.
	3:33pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: Yes, knowing the customs are where i fall short. : (
	3:33pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: but i am as anyone, nature, so it is where i'm lifted up and helped as well
	3:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: DC is in my travel future.
	3:34pm Timeshift Bliss: My friend Timmy had model of a skeleton hand coming out of the grave.
	3:35pm Mike Noble: if you have a current booking in DC, can you mention it on your mailing list? or is it just a social visit?
	3:35pm pacific standard simon: You're starting to sound like my therapist, man.
	3:35pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: !! somehow the show gaps feel very connected to the show each time they happen. this one is most surprising
	3:36pm Bliss: I loved the old movie "monsters". They always got a raw deal.
	3:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Having time to keep up with mailing list about show is an example of something I will do when I stop doing the show.
	3:36pm pacific standard simon: I've SEEN my grave; it's in a beautiful place.
	3:37pm Timeshift Bliss: Will we get the show back?
	3:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): pss: We're almost out of time
	3:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh, here's the part everyone was talking about. Bad internet last night, too.
	3:38pm Bliss: You can't try to be cool and enjoy yourself in the comments section at the same time.
	3:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We are just one thing at a time.
	3:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): without time
	3:39pm Rich in Washington: that time hasn't happened here yet. It's not even one o'clock on my side.
	3:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): You're in Hinterland.
	3:40pm Rich in Washington: I wonder if we'll ever adopt UMT time, due to all this silly internet interconnectedness?
	3:41pm Rich in Washington: it's far far, far far far, far far far away
	3:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Show's gonna end at 4:03pm ET today. 1:03 for Rich.
	3:43pm pacific standard simon: If I started a show, would you comment?
	3:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: I haven't scheduled a DC show but I will let you know. Scheduled shows are always posted at lastever.org. Sometimes emailed.
	3:43pm simonshift Kenzo: I already have
	3:45pm Rich in Washington: Bringing people to things and things to people is good. Transformative, even.
	3:45pm pacific standard simon: You can hand a phone to a horse, but you can't make him speak. Unless his name is Ed.
	3:47pm Rich in Washington: Why might you not make it to your 20 year anniversary? Can't you drive a couple of extra miles to make the odometer kick over?
	3:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): crawling towards distant mirages
	3:48pm Timeshift possibilitywaves: these ideas feel very helpful... beyond what i can express! identity can be perplexing when it is given stasis / but some stasis seems to come naturally as stones holding together a riverbed
	3:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): In 1985 I played creative video games. In 2014 I wrote programs to automatically shuffle process priorities around on my computer based on my activities.
	3:52pm Mike Noble: do you ever do special radio studio shows in other cities? does the illegality of pirate radio scare people? i'm pretty sure the #1 problem with my idea is our technical squalor as dealbreaker.
	3:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): In 2043 I will be living in a floating community with Rich in Washington without any electronics.
	3:53pm earrie: Accounting for n-dimensions is more than a little tricky, eh?
	3:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Everything anyone does violates at least one law.
	3:53pm Bliss: Pirate radio "hijacks" frequencies certified stations are not using?
	3:54pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): They're already there, they can't be hijacked. It's like land ownership but even moreso.
	3:54pm Rich in Washington: We will self-photosynthesize for food and radiate radio with our brains.
	3:55pm Bliss: that's why I put it in quotation marks
	3:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Gotta be licensed. This show is licensed in 52 states.
	3:58pm Rich in Washington: In some states, you have to take this show in the presence of your doctor.
	3:58pm Bliss: Licenses are weird.
	3:58pm Timeshift Bliss: Thanks. Which show will be #500? Nevermind. I see a total.
	3:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Fortunately the doctor will be staring at a screen (ooh viral video)
	3:59pm Present Moment Bliss: Take care, everyone.
	4:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Next week will be a special from the vault, resurrected and restored in some helpful way.
	4:00pm Timeshift Bliss: Nice show. I needed that.
	4:00pm Timeshift Kenzo: me too, maybe
	4:00pm Mike Noble: Kenzo: to return to "Street Hassle" one more time... did you ever consider going deeper into the track for another sampling? I think after the first song section the strings return but with a different stereo mix. Could be some interesting isolates.
	4:01pm earrie: Thanks for the good listening, Kenzo.
	4:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mike: I've used that piece a few times in 2013, and did different things with it.
	4:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks everyone for being here and there.
	4:02pm Rich in Washington: thanks, Kenzo!
	4:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): And thanks to Jack Creley.
	4:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I'll post the archive by tomorrow, no skipping!
	4:02pm Bliss: Here we are, still.
	4:02pm pacific standard simon: Me too, buddy, me too.
	4:02pm Mike Noble: I'll have to listen back some more times.
	4:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): shhhhhhhh gonna have some silence
	4:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): exhale inhale exhale
	4:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (I meant silence on the stream. A customary 10 seconds)
	4:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OH MY GOD WHAT IF NOBODY EVER SPEAKS EVER AGAIN
	4:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Rich in Washington shares relevant Jack Creley video: www.dailymotion.com...
