Listener comments!

8/8/18 5:02pm Rich in Washington:

Hi Kenzo!

8/8/18 5:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hi, Rich! You are here.

8/8/18 5:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Webhamster Henry said: "I always appreciate your overproduced and always everlasting last-ever shows!"

8/8/18 5:11pm fred:

A new show? I guess that means there's a great show tonight that I didn't notice

8/8/18 5:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

fred, I did it just to let you know to look for local great shows tonight

8/8/18 5:12pm Mefan5:

here. ready to leave.

8/8/18 5:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

You should exit as soon as you hear the exit music

8/8/18 5:15pm Bas NL:

Hi Kenzo & fellow stream dwellers!

8/8/18 5:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Welcome, Bas! When are you leaving?

8/8/18 5:17pm fred:

I have an health issue today that would make a bad idea to know where beer is available and glass might get broken, so I'd better stay here

8/8/18 5:19pm Rich in Washington:

I love KRob's OTE shows. I love Wobbly's, too, but they're both distinctively different, each one a different direction of where Don Joyce was headed.

8/8/18 5:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@Rich Agreed, really different and really great

8/8/18 5:20pm Bas NL:

Leaving is such a beautiful thing on trees. Perpetual future and timber.

8/8/18 5:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I like the Star Trek samples better in here though than where they were on Over the Edge

8/8/18 5:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@Bas Oh it's like you already heard the end of this show when I'll leave your tree

8/8/18 5:29pm possibilitywaves:

I feel that I am close to starting to explore Negativland; it has been hard to wait!

8/8/18 5:30pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The Beatles are awfully scary right now

8/8/18 5:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

It's not really Negativland, it's Over the Edge, and Over the Edge isn't really Over the Edge anymore. So!

8/8/18 5:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

(Welcome back, possibilitywaves! You will leave)

8/8/18 5:33pm Rich in Washington:

It's Over the Edge Presents...
I can't believe the didn't name it Over The Edge and Friends, like when the Carol Burnett show went into syndication.

8/8/18 5:35pm Rich in Washington:

I also noticed in the post-Don rejiggering of the show that they lost the bonus five hour show when there was a fifth Thursday. Not sure how they split it now. Maybe Puzzling Evidence is every week now.

8/8/18 5:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

A Very Special Over the Edge

8/8/18 5:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I love when I find myself getting lost remixing The Beatles. It is very child-like for me.

8/8/18 5:43pm possibilitywaves:

Ok! Looking at some of the many Negativland recordings I have noticed on archive.org; some of them seem to be Over the Edge versions, and others are from the main era. Hopefully it will turn out to provide a balanced mix of both!

8/8/18 5:45pm fred:

I guess I should only listen to The Beatles this way

8/8/18 5:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I think that I listened to the Beatles exactly like this as a kid tells me something about how I've always seen music (parts to be taken and moved around)

8/8/18 5:46pm Rich in Washington:

There are several hundred Over The Edge shows on Archive.org, uploaded by volunteers within months of Don Joyce's passing. They're in their own collection. It's fun to listen to a random show. Over the Edge shows are much more chaotic compared to Negativland studio recordings.

8/8/18 5:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yes, conceptually Over the Edge (before Don Joyce's passing) are more in the family of this radio show (and likely something of an inspiration to me). Negativland studio recordings are a different universe from me.

8/8/18 5:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm always worried this kind of playing is going to offend someone (the original artists or any fans). But it's the only way I hear things. It's how I always read books (in pieces, out of order, interleaved with other books). I realize there are many many many of us (interleaven)

8/8/18 5:51pm Rich in Washington:

I think when all the Negativlads lived with or near each other, and were participating in the show weekly, they were using the show as a sketchbook for studio material. Sort of like how you can hear embryonic Firesign Theatre bits that would later appear on studio albums on Firesign's KPFA/KPFK radio programs (Dear Friends, Let's Eat, et al).

8/8/18 5:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Oh wow where did I send the Beatles

8/8/18 5:52pm possibilitywaves:

I had interpreted Over the Edge to be what Negativland was, by hearing pieces in many Last Evers over the years. So that is what I am most considering to begin with listening! Thank you Rich and Kenzo for your insight!!

8/8/18 5:57pm Rich in Washington:

For years, living outside of KPFA's broadcast area and before streaming audio, I was only familiar with OTE through the edited cassettes released by SST records. The actual program is really chaotic, sometimes shambolic, and probably best suited to people who aren't averse to sitting and listening somewhat attentively, desk-bound, iron lung, etc.

8/8/18 5:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Oh btw, today's show was made significantly of tracks I used for a group dance mix on Friday. The dance is the choosing ground, and the show is the playing ground

8/8/18 5:58pm Rich in Washington:

We are all A kid.

8/8/18 5:58pm Rich in Washington:

That sounds like fun, Kenzo!

8/8/18 5:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Radiohead's A Kid

8/8/18 5:59pm Rich in Washington:

That's who he is! Yes!

8/8/18 6:03pm possibilitywaves:

I have only heard this show when standing up, it is surprising! In autumn 2011 i read about sitting being somewhat unnatural for humans. Since then, I stand up all day until going to sleep. I can't recommend it to anyone else per se, but it does feel unusually good and natural!

8/8/18 6:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm rocking and sweating

8/8/18 6:06pm Rand al'Thor:

Rand here, checking in.

8/8/18 6:07pm Rich in Washington:

I am a walking, er... sitting testament regarding the longterm effects of sitting. I had a horrendously blown out disc and had to stand for about six months. I now use one of those fancy sit or stand desks and I love it. I try to spend as much time working while standing. Some of it is difficult due to the dexterity needed to illustrate or manipulate fine graphic elements, but it's better than sitting most of the work day.

8/8/18 6:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Rand, time to check out

8/8/18 6:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Thanks for slipping us a disc, Rich

8/8/18 6:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

This scene in Being There is one of the best ever

8/8/18 6:15pm fred:

I'm a fan of standing in meetings. It's supposed to keep them shorter, but at least it helps me stay awake. I had to be nudged hard several time visibly asleep. A couple of times audibly so, I was told

8/8/18 6:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Welcome back, possibilitywaves

8/8/18 6:20pm northguineahills:

Been here. but busy working...

8/8/18 6:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm a fan of collaging in meetings

8/8/18 6:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

northguineahills, I know you'll go

8/8/18 6:23pm fred:

Hard to believe I'd like a show that features The Police, Rolling Stones, Moby, and many Beatles tracks

8/8/18 6:24pm Rich in Washington:

I sketch during meetings. It looks like I'm taking notes.

8/8/18 6:24pm Rich in Washington:

@fred: welcome to the hot dog factory.

8/8/18 6:25pm Rich in Washington:

I'm not sure what that means, but it seemed appropriate.

8/8/18 6:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm just noticing the number of songs and spoken samples about leaving. I didn't intend or plan.

8/8/18 6:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@fred I'm glad I'm doing my job right. Don't forget Nickelback.

8/8/18 6:26pm Rich in Washington:

8/8/18 6:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I am still proud of the show I played at a super avant garde spot on the Lower East Side where I got people to like Britney Spears before I finally made it recognizable enough and they were pisssssed

8/8/18 6:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@Rich Oh but it's a kind grinder. A meat kinder

8/8/18 6:27pm fred:

@Kenzo: I always try to forget Nickelback

8/8/18 6:27pm Rich in Washington:

It is. A thoughtful grinder.

8/8/18 6:28pm Rich in Washington:

I remember when that Paul's Extreme Stretch version of a Justin Bieber song came out and you'd hear these Avant Garde type DJs playing the Bieb. It was pretty funny.

8/8/18 6:29pm northguineahills:

I onced djed a show, and was trying to get people to leave as it was closing time (I was doing slightly experimental club music). I tried John Cage, no one left. I tried Merzbow, no one left. I tried Mariah Carey, everyone fled!

8/8/18 6:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Thumbs up, everybody!

8/8/18 6:29pm fred:

@Kenzo: Is that one in your archives? (I mean the Britney Spears show)

8/8/18 6:31pm fred:

@ngh: I have a Stefan premium called "Clear the Party So You Can Go to Sleep". It wouldn't work with every crowd, though

8/8/18 6:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@fred Checking lastever.org... , it appears to be "Short Stories" from Feb. 11, 2001. Not online. On a tape of some sort in a box.

8/8/18 6:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Back to the tracks used in Friday's dance after a brief revisit to some 2004 samples

8/8/18 6:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Major lightning thunder storm where I am during these transitions

8/8/18 6:40pm Rich in Washington:

I only ever did soundscaping for dancing once but I was in this kind of treehouse-like loft and couldn't really see what the participants were doing, but it was still fun.

8/8/18 6:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I am subtle with my soundscaping for the dance group but I massively enjoy building the transitions between songs. I drop some other things in but it's never more than 2 1/2 things at once

8/8/18 6:49pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Harlan Ellison says radio is wonderful

8/8/18 6:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Thank you all for not having left until you were ready

8/8/18 6:50pm Rich in Washington:

I wish I could stick to my standard of not eating in restaurants that have a TV on, but it's getting rarer and rarer these days.

8/8/18 6:51pm Rich in Washington:

I'll leave when I'm good and ready.

8/8/18 6:51pm Rich in Washington:

I'm finishing my coffee

8/8/18 6:53pm fred:

@Rich: I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think I've been to a restaurant this century. Unless you accept that Guinness is indeed food and a pub counts

8/8/18 6:53pm Rich in Washington:

Alex Jones is Walter Sobchak in the 'family restaurant' scene of Big Lebowski.

8/8/18 6:54pm Rich in Washington:

Really? Not a one restaurant? For 18 years? That's amazing!

8/8/18 6:55pm david w:

I'm beleaving. Adieu!

8/8/18 6:55pm fred:

You're right, I was wrong, I went to a Vietnamese restaurant about 10 years ago

8/8/18 6:57pm fred:

Thanks Kenzo

8/8/18 6:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I left you

8/8/18 6:58pm northguineahills:

danks Ken!

8/8/18 6:59pm Rich in Washington:

I'm leaving! Thanks Kenzo!
It's Gary Sullivan time, I think, so not really LEAVING..

8/8/18 7:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Thanks thanks thanks I forgive you goodbye

8/8/18 7:03pm possibilitywaves:

A group of thunderstorms moved through here also! It appears to be the same pathway from here to there where some were forming. Thank you again for this show and everything in between and surrounding!!

5:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Now(ish).

5:01pm chresti:

Hello, it's time for you know what

5:02pm fred:

Looks like I just left, but I'm back here again

5:08pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

5:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Check box

5:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Thanks a lot for your pledges, fred+chresti!

5:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

New thanks to pledges from Geoff from Scotland, and Nicole from Canada! It's the year-end fundraiser thing click there donate if you like.

5:25pm Franco Twinkie:

Ken,I just got home so I don't know what kind of psychic horror you've been dishing up so far, but I would wager it's nothing, NOTHING compared to going outside today in Southern California.

5:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Only good horror, my friends.

5:27pm Franco Twinkie:

Okay, a chill kind of horror. I'm down with that.
