Listener comments!

♥ 5:00pm listener james from westwood:

Heya, Kenzo and all!!

5:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Found and lost, james!

♥ 5:02pm fred:

Hello Ken and time-shifters

5:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

17 years the different.

♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145:

one day in May

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

Michael, fred and james, handshakes all around

♥ 5:04pm chresti:

Hey mommys! Kenzo!

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

chresti, meet mommie dearest

♥ 5:07pm Webhamster Henry:

This is pretty relaxing, Mommy.

♥ 5:08pm fred:

I only have 3 shows left from last year's premium. I save these for when I think my walk home will be the longest. But if I run out I'll fish out the previous one

♥ 5:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

Is a handshake like a milkshake?

♥ 5:10pm chresti:

At first, I thought the stray cat was caterwauling outside

♥ 5:13pm chresti:

damn right @GST

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

Milkshakes for Granny, relaxshakes for Webhamster

♥ 5:20pm Ike:

Sounds like he's saying "roadie."

5:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

That's why I don't like playlist details or lyrics sheets. Forces a way of hearing.

♥ 5:26pm fred:

@Ike: You can count Mary Wing as a member of the antiFe. She expressed dismay at our foe's clicky-star count and ruled out a Heavy Metal cover segment earlier today

♥ 5:26pm chresti:

Now I have the song "Milkshake" playing in my head..

5:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@fred Hopefully they ship the new DVD soon! I can't wait to see whether the cover came out at all. Last-minute decision to do a color photo instead of the usual sparse text on barely imperceptible fuzz.

5:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I wish I remembered what I was filtering through. Something on a borrowed couple of laptops.

♥ 5:32pm fred:

@Kenzo: I don't expect anything until August at least, the downside of getting a lot of stuff

5:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Mmm, waiting for the last thing.

5:35pm Ian!:

Hello USA.

5:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

It's Ian! !

♥ 5:36pm Ike:

@fred, oh good! I was too swamped with work to hit the comments, but I was listening to a good chunk of her show.

5:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Oh I recognize this sample. Not gonna give it away unless asked

5:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The car's on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel.

5:44pm Ian!:

Two days ago on my bicycle I got doored by a parked car, not on fire, with a driver at the wheel.

5:44pm Ian!:

I am bent but not broken.

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

'The bicyclist struck the car" as the New York Times likes to say

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

Ian!, you might be disappointed: my voice appears (almost) nowhere in this episode. For some others, perhaps some relief.

♥ 5:48pm fred:

I often miss the show because I'm often out, but I really enjoy listening to these old shows when I walk back home at night. I usually even ignore a bus that would get me home faster so that I can listen to more of it

5:49pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I probably did not ever speak on mic at a stage show until Jan. 8, 2008 in Denver, Colorado.

♥ 5:58pm Carmichael:

Aloha Kenzington and people of every ilk.

♥ 5:59pm chresti:

I hear your voice in my head, with your comments

6:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Carmichael, you did it all

♥ 6:01pm Michael 98145:

@chresti, could be due to Neurogenesis

6:01pm Ian!:

I do miss your voice. Yes I do.

♥ 6:01pm fred:

Any plans to come back to Paris?

♥ 6:02pm chresti:

That's your 3 year old niece, has she listened to this?

6:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@fred, you've been added to lastever.org...

♥ 6:02pm Carmichael:

Your now 20 year old niece.

6:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@chresti In fact I'm in the process of letting her know about it.

6:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Maaaaaaaybe she's ready

♥ 6:04pm chresti:

Hey niece, you're on the radio!

♥ 6:05pm fred:

My claim to fame! Or relevance. Or something

♥ 6:07pm chresti:

This is outtasight!

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

@fred If I could get there by train, I'd be there presently.

♥ 6:09pm chresti:

How's the yellow vest situation? @fred

6:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Gosh I wish I could remember what I used for this one episode only (but maybe also for some of the 2001 stage shows). SoundMulch for Windows 95?

6:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

This episode is the last one that sounds anything like this. Starting with my next show (on stage too but also on radio), I moved out of this electronic-y phase. I did 3 shows, took a year off, and then got back into a weekly radio show after 4 years without one.

♥ 6:14pm Ike:

The sound is so all-enveloping that at the beginning of this track, I thought somebody had brought their kid into the office. And then just now, I thought the janitorial staff at the office had turned on a vacuum cleaner for a second there... oh no wait, that *was* the janitorial staff.

♥ 6:15pm fred:

@chresti: Annoying. And worrying in that they're turning into our own Tea Party. Except they won't bring a fake fascist clown to power, it's going to be the real thing. Good thing my health isn't that good

6:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I've lowered the volume a couple of times nervously to see what's really here in this room.

♥ 6:19pm Michael 98145:

i suspect our fake fascist clown is just an agent of twitter

♥ 6:20pm chresti:

It has a nice. spacey dub feeling to it@Kenzo
@fred more and more fascist clowns hovering around, bad scene.
Sorry to hear about bad health!

♥ 6:21pm chresti:

my earbuds are charged, hear goes nothing...

♥ 6:28pm fred:

@chresti: What I hate the most is the "left" around here turning into a nationalist and racist movement. Black block and yellow vests merge into brown shirts. Violence their only creed

6:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Kenzo. Kubrick. 'Kay ?

6:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah. UhOh. Libertarians suckered into opening the back door for the FarRight. When the Left abandons the Poor - we get this.

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

free sound

6:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

love on a real train

♥ 6:34pm fred:

This reminds me of Steve Reich

♥ 6:34pm Carmichael:

There is no more reasonable middle of the road thought any more. Nazis or Anarchists, the choice is yours.

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

@fred So said Steve in 2002

6:39pm Martinibomb:

Hi Kenzo

6:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hello to 17-year timeshifters Brian, Eliz, Shannon (who said he'd "buy this in a store"), Chairman Tubeamp, Liz, Adam, Stefano, Maha, Barbara, Jeff, and Mendy!

6:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

And 17-second timeshifter Martinibomb.

♥ 6:40pm fred:

@Carmichael: That would be an easy choice for me. But now anarchists join nazis, so it's not even a choice anymore. To be fair, anarchists who join nazis are cast out, but splitting away is an anarchist art form

6:42pm Martinibomb:

enjoying this desktop screenshot: lastever.org...

6:46pm Martinibomb:

is there a pile of screenshots of your work space somewhere on your website?

♥ 6:48pm chresti:

Ah! Behind the curtain...

♥ 6:50pm Michael 98145:

this has been quite enjoyable

6:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

You can't spell Kenzo w/out Oz.

♥ 6:51pm fred:

Was that screenshot from the Diane Cluck tour when you did a show in Paris?

♥ 6:52pm fred:

Again, this reminds me of music for 18 musicians

♥ 6:53pm chresti:

What Michael98145 said...
Thanks Kenzo!

6:55pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Now that I'm listening to it, I can hear how this show was already transitioning back into the phase that began right afterwards. Drifty.

6:55pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@martinibomb Someday, a live videocast of the screen during a show. I record them all.

6:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Glad you were all here to hear. Evocative visit to a transitional moment of transitional moments. Let's see what my niece thinks, or will she wait 17 more years...
