Listener comments!

11:49am rbrt:

♡ this picture!

11:59am Mayuko:

@rbrt I like that you ♡ this not very ♡able picture, haha! or maybe it is?

♥ 12:00pm listener james from westwood:

Afternoon, Mayuko and all!!

12:01pm rbrt:

haha I know probably not the best way to express it but...I still like it :DD

12:01pm rbrt:

hey james how are you

12:02pm P-90:

Konichiwa Mayuko-DJ

12:05pm rbrt:

"all of them are your own..." !!!!

12:05pm ike:

Afternoon!

12:06pm Mayuko:

Welcome, james, P-90, and Ike! Thanks for tuning in.

12:07pm P-90:

Whoa, that Bodhisattva is a heavy dude

12:07pm Rickwaukee:

"Dude, That's your skulls!" -Spicoli bodhisattva

♥ 12:10pm tmoyo:

Hi Mayuko and listeners!

12:12pm rbrt:

hey tmoyo how are you?

12:14pm Mayuko:

@Rickwaukee Spicoli only sounded like a kind of pasta to me, I had to look it up now.

♥ 12:14pm tmoyo:

Doing ok, thanks rbrt! It has cooled down considerably in Tokyo for the last couple of days, it feels almost like autumn.

12:15pm Mayuko:

tmoyo! Thanks for tuning in! Glad to hear that Tokyo is becoming somewhat manageable.

♥ 12:15pm listener james from westwood:

Dig the Boratto. Just sent a friend a Spotify mix of early synthpop (she was new-ish to the genre) and this pleasantly reminds me of much of it.

12:16pm rbrt:

that's good sounds like it has been crazy hot there

♥ 12:17pm Dropof Goldensun:

Hey Mayuko and listeners!

12:19pm P-90:

“Spicoli” is a famous surfer-stoner-hipster type of character from the 1970s. He’s kind of a bodhisattva of American teenager-tude himself...

12:19pm P-90:

... but maybe he SHOULD have a kind of pasta named for him

12:20pm rbrt:

Just think if that movie was now, all the brand possibilities, he could of had his own pasta for sale

♥ 12:20pm Dropof Goldensun:

Like Fusilli Jerry?

12:21pm fred:

Good afternoon Mayuko and all

12:21pm rbrt:

LOL love fusilli Jerry

12:21pm rbrt:

hey fred

12:22pm still b/p:

Spicoli's Famous Pasta di Gnarli and Righteous Sauce.

12:23pm Mayuko:

@james Boratto track sounded like a glory temple made in a 8-bit (or whatever-bit) world!

So that was why you were listening buncha synth-pop last week. Hope she enjoys it!

12:23pm Mayuko:

Hallos, Dropof! Thanks for tuning in!

12:27pm rbrt:

very cinematic

12:28pm Mayuko:

@P-90 ah I see, thank you for explaining the reference for me. I keep forgetting that in the US buddhism is often connected to hippy stuff! It's kind of interesting.

12:28pm Mayuko:

Good afternoon! My radio family fred.

12:29pm Mayuko:

& still b/p! Thank you for tuning in!!

12:29pm Rickwaukee:

♥ 12:30pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Mayuko and vertigo listeners. The picture is similar to the bison skulls as they were extinguished from the plains. www.thenewinquiry.com...

12:30pm Rickwaukee:

*NSFW

12:32pm Rickwaukee:

I like this sort of wandering Driftmachine

♥ 12:34pm Webhamster Henry:

Hi Mayuko! nice beepy- blorp going on here!

12:38pm Mayuko:

Hi Ken! Yeah it does remind you of mass killing. No wonder why the climber was horrified.

12:40pm rbrt:

then they find out the skulls are theirs!

12:40pm Mayuko:

Hello Henry! Thanks for tuning in!

12:43pm rw:

Good morning! Been drifting along this morning eating some waffles in the back yard while being eaten by mosquitos.

♥ 12:43pm chresti:

Hello!

12:44pm rw:

Love this Cluster and Eno track. Takes me back to my young adulthood!

12:47pm fred:

I know this is wrong but this picture makes me think of Agrajag climbing to Arthur Dent

12:49pm rw:

I'm with rbrt on the image. And fred, speaking of young adulthood (or late childhood) I read all those books but it's been a long time. I don't remember Agrajag.

12:50pm Mayuko:

@rw Nothing if permanent, you an eater becomes the one to be eaten the next moment!!!!! Buddha speaking!!!!! Also thanks for tuning in!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:51pm Mayuko:

Hi chresti! Thank you for tuning in!!

♥ 12:51pm melinda:

hi all

♥ 12:52pm coelacanth∅:

greetings Mayuko & All

12:52pm rw:

Mayuko, does Buddha have anything to say about killing off those mosquitos? They're getting pretty annoying.

12:52pm fred:

@rw: Agrajag is the character being endlessly reincarnated seemingly for the sole purpose of being killed by Arthur Dent

12:55pm Rickwaukee:

Get rich the Buddha way!

12:56pm rbrt:

I'm suspect of a Buddha who sells art for millions? guess everyone has to eat though

12:57pm Rickwaukee:

Buddha Howell III

12:57pm rbrt:

this is a fascinating story lol

12:57pm rw:

Rickwaukee! Nice.

♥ 12:57pm coelacanth∅:

it sounds like there's been nothing he's done that shouldn't arouse distrust.

12:58pm rbrt:

Mayuko you should be cashing in! lol

♥ 12:59pm coelacanth∅:

i've never heard of any connection between buddhism and "hippie" stuff.

♥ 12:59pm Franco Twinkie:

Okay now! Give me his address in Pasadena and I'll go to his house and give you a full report. This is just to good, and right around the block from us!

1:01pm Rickwaukee:

Hippie and "Eastern" mysticism connections for sure via Beatnik heritage

♥ 1:02pm Andrew Waterloo:

Hippies became connected to eastern spiritualism because it provided a platform for relating to and legitimising the psychedelic experience.

♥ 1:02pm coelacanth∅:

Franco do it! be a mole; pretend to be one of the weak of mind that believes in this kind of scoundrel and tell us what happens.

1:02pm Rickwaukee:

if not straight up Buddhism

♥ 1:03pm Dropof Goldensun:

I really liked the Synth Sisters! I'm a synth guy and we need many more synth women!

1:04pm chresti:

Rich people seeking enlightenment
From yogis, gurus, masters, a time honored tradition for ages

♥ 1:04pm coelacanth∅:

oh right, Andrew. Ravi Shankar had to come to terms with people thinking his music is great for recreational drug use.

♥ 1:05pm Franco Twinkie:

Having been a resident of Pasadena for about 30 years i can tell you for sure the place is just brimming with nut burgers and screwballs of the mystic persuasion.

♥ 1:06pm Andrew Waterloo:

Yah, the need to escape the trappings of western protestant Christianity

♥ 1:09pm Webhamster Henry:

I'm hoping Ridgewood Radio can do a James Tenney special some time.

1:10pm Mayuko:

Hi melinda and coelacanth∅!!

1:10pm rw:

Pilgrimage to Pasadena!

1:11pm Rickwaukee:

@Franko: I lived in Pas 88-91 - worked in Old Town at the old Wood & Jones printers. Studio apt off Walnut was $800 when I moved back here.

1:11pm fred:

@Henry: I'd love that!

♥ 1:12pm Franco Twinkie:

Maybe this can be my activity for the day. I was going to go to Echo Park Rising and listen to youngsters mangle guitars out in the sun, but this guru with a bad wig sounds much better.

♥ 1:13pm coelacanth∅:

true chresti. my sister is kind of a sucker for bullshitters

1:14pm Mayuko:

@Franco!!! PLEASE go check out his "museum" if you're near! The negative reviews are hilarious! www.yelp.com...

♥ 1:14pm melinda:

Go for the guru in the bad wig!

1:15pm Ivan:

Hi Mayuko! Tuning in late from southern NJ

♥ 1:15pm coelacanth∅:

selfish losers making buddhism look bad (to other weak people) to prey on the vulnerable.
oh well, maybe when he dies he'll do the first righteous thing of his life and send his wealth toward people who need it. (though i doubt it. he'll probably designate it for a giant monument to himself)

1:18pm Rickwaukee:

Descriptions . . . . don't dwell on the fact that many of them are actually prints, but instead highlight the artists superior skills. These artworks are 'unprecedented in history' and a 'treasure given by a Buddha to the world of humans,' -LOL They sound almost as good as the art done by our glorious president.

1:18pm rw:

From Yelp: "Finally! A place that recognizes that sheer genius and artistic beauty that was brought to our earth by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III"

♥ 1:19pm Franco Twinkie:

Yeah, Rick. The good old days. When I moved there in 1978 I had the top floor of craftsman type bungalow in what was once a sanitarium for rich people from the east coast with TB.,,And it was $150 a month!

♥ 1:20pm coelacanth∅:

haha Rickwaukee that's great!

1:21pm Mayuko:

Hi Andrew! Thanks for tuning in!! And Ivan!!!! Hope you're enjoying your summer here!!

1:21pm fred:

@Mayuko: I got an email from Joe McGasko saying one of my swag picks was no longer available. But your water bottle was! I can't wait to get it!

♥ 1:21pm listener james from westwood:

Tuva! Toova! Tüva!

♥ 1:22pm Andrew Waterloo:

this Tyva Kyzy is fascinating.

1:22pm rw:

Franco, The Echo Park festival looks out of control. But I can't tell if out of control is good or not.

1:22pm Mayuko:

This is his holiness static.xuanfa.net... I just could not trust a man with this wig, despite the people at his Brooklyn location being friendly and gave me cookies (and I did eat em).

♥ 1:23pm Dropof Goldensun:

Throat singing always blows me away.

1:23pm Mayuko:

@Dropof I agree re: synth women! We definitely need more of em!!!

♥ 1:24pm melinda:

@dropof me too

1:24pm rw:

Mayuko!! Don't eat the cookies!!!

1:25pm JakeGould:

Hey Mayuko!

♥ 1:25pm Sem:

Looks like a long-haired monkey jacket I saw at a thrift shop one time. His holiness is some kind of trend setter, maybe?

Hiya, Mayuko, and all.

1:25pm fred:

I hope for his sake that it's a wig. I shudder to think what kind of horrible disease would make that thing grow on one's head

♥ 1:26pm Andrew Waterloo:

He's in the Trump club for men for sure.

1:26pm rbrt:

this wig wtf lol

♥ 1:26pm Andrew Waterloo:

if hair like that was the price of magical powers....

1:27pm fred:

I really like this Chikuzan Takahashi track

♥ 1:27pm Dropof Goldensun:

I've always encouraged my daughters to play around with all my synths but nothing yet! I'll keep working on it.

1:27pm rbrt:

is that his disguise maybe so the chinese govt doesn't kill him? lol

1:27pm Mayuko:

@Rickwaukee "They sound almost as good as the art done by our glorious president" Yes cos that's a "president", and his holiness is "Buddha" both in "", they're def the same tribe! haha!

♥ 1:28pm coelacanth:

haha that looks like part of a halloween witch costume from a toy store

♥ 1:28pm melinda:

I was thinking it would be fun to check out that museum next time I visit my sister-in-law in Altadena but after seeing the photos I think I'll pass. There must be other cult-related sites to visit.

♥ 1:28pm Franco Twinkie:

...And if that wasn't enough, right down the street from my place was the Pacific Asia Museum that had the most amazing collection...AND just down the street from that is the Norton Simon Museum which has a ginormus collection of ancient Buddas, Shivas,ect,ect. I think I'm starting to get why this bozo wound up in Pasadena.

1:29pm rbrt:

I would still totally go to check it out though :/ lol

1:30pm Joe:

Hello all! Unfortunately for us LA people, it looks like his holiness's museum is up in San Francisco, not Pasadena.

1:30pm JakeGould:

@rw: Regarding mosquitos, the way I understand it is if a living creature causes you physical harm for no reason, you can go ahead and fight back. It’s just people who see animals and decide, “Wow! I will try to kill them!” that it becomes wrong.

1:31pm Mayuko:

@Sem His holiness is definitely a trend setter, and a real winner. THAT's how you play the game of the art world!

♥ 1:31pm Franco Twinkie:

Hey Melinda! My sister lies in Altadena. Next time you're in town, let's get together and go get a lobster!

1:32pm Rickwaukee:

My favorite 'museum' in Pasadena was Loch Ness Monster Pub

1:32pm Mayuko:

@fred oh! I'm glad you're getting the bottle!!! Thank you!

1:32pm Mayuko:

Hey Jake!!

1:32pm rbrt:

I have to get in the art game..I can win this lol

1:33pm chresti:

That proves that he is special! Wig and makeup!

1:34pm rw:

Franco, have you been to the Buddhist temple in Hacienda Heights? Off Hacienda near Colima a little south of the 60. Haven't been there in a while but I remember it being cool. Traditional Chinese architecture in tract-home stucco with a pretty cool little museum of it's own.

1:35pm fred:

@Mayuko: I've been thinking of ordering it from the store for a while, but hoped it would be available as swag. Seriously, I've been taking notes about which venues let me in with a bottle and which don't (no way I'm letting them take that one away)

1:35pm chresti:

Wait...Franco , look at his picture, he kind of looks like Jimmy the coffee roaster!

♥ 1:36pm Franco Twinkie:

Rw, I have driven by a million times, but never gone in.

♥ 1:36pm melinda:

@Franco ok!

1:36pm JakeGould:

“Beware of the gift shop. I was enticed by a sign that said the items in one area were on sale for 20% off the prices as marked.”

1:36pm Rickwaukee:

This kills it: "I actually enjoyed the lobby more than the actual museum itself!"

1:39pm rw:

Jake, I'm working on it. They're breeding in my flower pot fish pond. Normally the goldfish (singular) keeps them in check but there are lily pads now and I think the fish can't get to them. I covered it with a scrap of window screen this morning. We'll see if that takes care of the problem.

1:41pm Rickwaukee:

LOL, Why even go on trying, Mayuko? -
"Blind yourself as you leave for you have seen the most magnificent beauty on Earth and all future sights will only disappoint."

♥ 1:43pm paul b:

A few weeks ago I was suddenly seized by a desire to read the Wikipedia article on Tamerlane, a person known for leaving pyramids or towers of skulls where ever he went.
In June of 1941 the Russian anthropologist Gerasimov exhumed his bones and skull to do a reconstruction of his face and create a portrait bust of him. It is said by some that this released a curse on the world that was responsible for the kerfuffle between the Soviet Union and Germany in the early 1940's.

1:43pm rw:

Okay, I need to check out now but will be listening from the road. Thanks Mayuko! Have a great weekend everyone!

Wow. Rick, that's a great quote! I've got to get me to that museum...

♥ 1:44pm Franco Twinkie:

Yes indeed, Chresti. Crazy man looks like Jimmy.

1:44pm Mayuko:

Hello Joe! That's unfortunate fortune that you're keeping good distance from his holiness! Seems like himself lives in Pasadena, though like you said the museum is in San Francisco. Is Pasadena much closer to LA?

♥ 1:44pm coelacanth:

rw if you disturb the water once or twice a day they might not breed there. maybe you could rig something up to channel drainage or clean waste water to it, in trickles just enough to create ripples occasionally.

1:45pm Mayuko:

@rw Thanks, you too!!!

♥ 1:49pm melinda:

Pasadena is right next to LA.

1:49pm fred:

I really should find a Tsugaru-jamisen concert nearby, it's been way too long since I saw one

1:49pm Rickwaukee:

I had a vivid dream when I was small, not of a pyramid of skulls, but of a pillar of people/humanity -stacked atop one another, clawing their way up. It has stuck with me all these years.

1:49pm Joe:

@Mayuko Unfortunate fortune or maybe fortunate misfortune? And yes, Pasadena is in LA county.

♥ 1:51pm Franco Twinkie:

I just walked past that place last week when I went to see the Magritte show at SFMOMA. BTW that block of Market Street has more mentally disturbed people spinning around than any other part of the city...except the Tenderloin, which is seriously off the meter.

1:53pm Rickwaukee:

San Gabriel valley is not inexpensive, but it's a lot less expensive than The Bay. That's why Buddha Boy got stacks.

1:55pm Mayuko:

@paul b Leaving pyramid or mountain of skulls sound like a LOT of killing! I wonder if that is the reference of the music. Carlos Casas wrote that he had been inspired by the people of Pamir in Tajikistan making this album.

1:56pm Mayuko:

@Joe ah! You still have to be careful then!!!! Don't eat their cookies it'd make it more difficult for you to leave apparently!

1:56pm fred:

The start of that track reminded me of Keiji Haino, who I haven't see this year. This is not a good thing

1:57pm P-90:

Don’t want to get so deep into “ego-loss” that I forget to say thank you for this excellent show today! It made my skull very happy...

1:58pm Joe:

@fred Just saw Keiji Haino in LA with Peter Brotzmann... awesome show!

♥ 1:59pm Franco Twinkie:

That's right, Rick. There's plenty of people like us,but when I go to the gas station around the corner there will often be a youngster gassing up a Lambougini.

1:59pm fred:

@Joe: I'm jealous!

2:00pm chresti:

Thank you for the soothing and grounding music!

2:00pm Rickwaukee:

Someone from San Marino slumming it

♥ 2:00pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks, Mayuko. Great show today. I received another P.V. water bottle for swag. Stylish and useful.

♥ 2:01pm Dropof Goldensun:

Great show Mayuko! Have a great week everyone.

2:01pm Rickwaukee:

Buddha Jackson casts light on the real deal in sharp relief. So not so bad. I would not hear any of this if not for you, Mayuko. Thank you once more.
