Lead lively sound-collage-inspired conversations, have profound revelations, spark a revolution, and send love.

Yay! I've never been to Austin.
After this show I expect my tolerence for super hot chilis to be vastly amped up.

Heya Kenzo and all! Sounds like "Lawyers in Love" is poking its way through there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6/28/17 5:08pm fred:

Lively conversation, profound revelation, revolution, and love? Uh, sorry, I just blundered here after hearing Please Call Stella (accent.gmu.edu). Thought it was Kenny G. I'll show myself out

I grew up in Austin and moved away permanently around '91. If KOOP was around in the 80s I didn't know about it.

This era is the one by i was introduced to the show five years ago, choosing one from the archives! it does often bring a speechlessness! Aspects of its depth (in this era and of course others!) provide a lozenge of tremendous truth!

@Revo Well, I varied. I did a number of "cleaner" shows in the same period. This was an unusually long one, and I had just done a long late-night fill-in on a different station the night before, so I got to some bigger build up and letitout.
  11/20/19 6:40pm Kenzo:

Happen again, Carmichael!

I wish I had a playlist for this one. I have all my paper playlists in a folder, but I'm pretty sure I didn't keep one for this one. But I've forgotten to go digging for it. I actually don't quite remember how I kept track in the Austin years.

Looks like I did the KVRX show Friday night 11:30pm-3am, had a little sleep, and then came in for the KOOP show (same frequency, different station) Saturday 6-8pm. I always like these shows that come later in a close series of long shows.

I don't really remember this show happening...unusual chaos for that station.
Avatar ♥ 4:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I guess this is the live RealAudio stream delay-looping, but I'm surprised there's so little degeneration. I also think I hear the radio behind me, but that's totally live, so it only adds whistle feedback.
Avatar ♥ 4:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I keep wishing this were going to come back around to something musical/soothing. I have a hunch it's just going to explode out with more phone noise.
