Avatar 2:01pm
→ Bliss : No problem.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:02pm

Avatar ♥ 2:03pm
→ Carmichael : Guy from Blazing Saddles: "What in the hell is that shit?!"

Avatar 2:04pm
→ kat330 : Too much fun-size candy, Kenzo?

Avatar ♥ 2:05pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : almost

Avatar 2:06pm
→ kat330 : I like the "fun size" of most anything.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:10pm
→ listener james from westwood : i can't be the only one who has bought candy for leftover potential as much as for kid appeal, if not more.

Avatar ♥ 2:11pm
→ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 : ...here's a small handful of chords that mean an awful lot right now...

Avatar 2:11pm
→ kat330 : Cowboy Junkies....ahmagahd....

We're having two nights locally for trick or treating, so I'm hopeful we'll have no leftovers this year.

Avatar ♥ 2:18pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : Is it ok?

Avatar 2:19pm
→ Bliss : Yes.

Avatar 2:19pm
→ kat330 : Yes!

Avatar 2:27pm
→ kat330 : Palin's my favorite Python.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:28pm
→ listener james from westwood : i first watched "brazil" on a videotape my parents recorded from hbo, while i was home w/ the flu. the tape cut off 4 minutes from the end. maddening.

Avatar 2:30pm
→ kat330 : Our last movies at home: The Conjuring, Salem's Lot (uncut) and Fragile. Not a serious scare in any. :,

Kenzo, you still sound ill. Hope nothing more than allergies.

Avatar 2:31pm
→ Bliss : If you donate, you may get WFMU food stickers, like I did.

Avatar 2:33pm
→ kat330 : Say, give me a little elbow room.

Avatar ♥ 2:44pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : do i sound better now, kat? i went for a checkup

Avatar 2:44pm
→ kat330 : I love my computer. Computers are 100% responsible for how my life unfolded.

Avatar 2:44pm
→ Bliss : My uncle's 1975ish cassette deck had a square light source right behind the tape window of the cassette, so you could look into the deck and easily see where the tape was and how fast it was moving.
Of course, there was a counter as well.

Avatar 2:44pm
→ kat330 : You still sound a bit stopped up. But if the doc gave you a thumbs-up, that's all that matters!

Avatar 2:46pm
→ Bliss : His cassette deck had wood siding.

Avatar ♥ 2:46pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : ok, i'm in the waiting room now for my followup visit

Avatar 2:48pm
→ kat330 : @Bliss: Is that a serious Bliss or George Harrison?

I remember 78 RPM vinyl. The walls of WSLM were line with 'em.

Avatar 2:49pm
→ Bliss : @kat330
The avatar?

Avatar 2:51pm
→ kat330 : Yes, your closeup.

Avatar 2:51pm
→ Bliss : It's me.

Avatar 2:52pm
→ kat330 : Aha.

Avatar 2:53pm
→ Bliss : Hah.

2:53pm
→ David: I love the broadcasting of telephone ringing sounds: it has the two-fold effect of enabling me to feel popular and missing any calls that I might actually receive.

Avatar 2:53pm
→ kat330 : Anyone else get the email going around that contained Russell Brand's tract about politics?

Avatar 2:54pm
→ Bliss : No.
I searched and found it on my own.

Avatar ♥ 2:55pm
→ Timeshift Droll : Why are your callers so confused by the delay? Are you fluxing the timeshifter live?

Are the listeners who are not one your list before on your list now? HOLY SHIT! You *DID* mention my name on your list at 1:18, even though I am timeshifting by nearly a week. You amaze me, sir.

Avatar 2:58pm
→ kat330 : Ahh. And thus ends the anagram portion of our program.

Avatar 2:59pm
→ Bliss : Saw a link in an article, possibly.
No big lengthy search.

Avatar ♥ 3:00pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : but then where do you get your nudes

Avatar 3:01pm
→ kat330 : I've a friend who serves as my own news compendium. Saves the fingers. And any inadvertent running into nudes.

Avatar 3:03pm
→ kat330 : With a stuffy nose, I suppose "news" would be "nudes."

Avatar ♥ 3:08pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : machines never surprise to fail

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:15pm
→ listener james from westwood : hah, still have this album somewhere on vinyl. i know i still have the CAR BOMB bumper sticker that came with it; alas, i stuck it on an ammo box back in college, so i can never leave the house with it any more.

Avatar ♥ 3:15pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : Re-beaut

Avatar 3:17pm
→ kat330 : James, could HST be a role model of yours? ;)

Avatar ♥ 3:18pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : yes all your noam chomsky and fruit bumper stickers

Avatar 3:23pm
→ kat330 : Awwwww, so want to visit Hawaii one of these years...

Avatar 3:25pm
→ Bliss : to the oceans, white with styrofoam

Avatar 3:26pm
→ kat330 : At the risk of continuing to talk to myself, anyone else wonder if James Taylor started the nat'l anthem with "America the Beautiful" on purpose?

Avatar 3:27pm
→ Bliss : Not up on that.
Last I heard he was singing Handy Man.

Avatar ♥ 3:27pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : your reply is eagerly awaited

Avatar ♥ 3:27pm
→ northguineahills : Dig the Negativland bits...

Avatar 3:28pm
→ kat330 : I didn't see it in real time, but I saw it replayed ad nauseum on the nudes, I mean news.

Avatar 3:29pm
→ Bliss : Not having TV must be better than I thought.

Avatar 3:32pm
→ kat330 : Well, my radio to tv ratio is still far and away tilted to the former. I was radio-active in the womb, quite literally.

Avatar 3:33pm
→ Bliss : I see.

Avatar 3:33pm
→ kat330 : I hear ya.

Avatar 3:37pm
→ kat330 : So nice to have a name that would be seen in constant crossword circulation, like Elam or Alda...

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:39pm
→ cklequ : @Kat: or Oona?

Avatar 3:42pm
→ kat330 : Oh, yes, that's a popular one. Can't think of a better character face than Jack Elam's. [Kenzo, your show forces a S.O.C. style of commenting from me.]

Avatar 3:43pm
→ kat330 : Hello to my Radio Flyer! And my Chatty Cathy!

3:48pm
→ john: Kenzo, do you do the collages for the Best Show, by chance?

Avatar ♥ 3:49pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : john: Not that I know of!

Avatar ♥ 3:49pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : But I do them at the same time as The Best Show (every other Tuesday night)

3:52pm
→ john: Last night's Lou Reed sound collage was just lovely..thought it was your handiwork. Oh, wait...here we go....

Avatar ♥ 3:54pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : would've been funny if I'd done it last night as originally planned (today was gonna be yesterday...hard to explain...)

Avatar 3:54pm
→ kat330 : Yes, this section works especially well. Happy Hallowe'en and e'en's eve, too to y'all! Kiitos and kauniita unia, Kenzo!

Avatar 3:55pm
→ Bliss : Early Thanks, Kenzo.

Avatar ♥ 3:56pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : Any requests for an end time?

Avatar ♥ 3:56pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : I don't know if I'm quite done.

Avatar 3:57pm
→ kat330 : Keep going!

Avatar ♥ 3:58pm
→ northguineahills : Awesome! Thanks Ken!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:59pm
→ cklequ : I'm here at work until 4:30.
I wouldn't shut it off........

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:59pm
→ listener james from westwood : thanks for the sonic tapestry, kenzo!

Avatar 4:06pm
→ Bliss : What a fool.

Avatar 4:11pm
→ kat330 : Yet he thrives while those on either side of him are gone. This world's a fool's game indeed.

Avatar 4:16pm
→ kat330 : Building to a ghostly climax ...

Avatar ♥ 4:17pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : ghastly

Avatar 4:20pm
→ kat330 : Thanks again, bye, and have a booootiful + bootyfull Hallowe'en people!

Avatar ♥ 4:22pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : love to all past present future and some others

Avatar ♥ 4:25pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : i send you rice grain cupcakes

Avatar ♥ 8:36pm
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : I forgot to say "hello" to "my broker" and "my driver!"

Avatar 12:07pm
→ Droll : I hope one of the new features cross references player-time with comment-time. I noticed I'm less interested in reading archived comments when I know nobody is there to respond if I joined in. If someone types on an archive, and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a comment? Maybe that's one of the new features? I finished listening to the show yesterday, but am posting all my comments together now. There are dependencies, but the exact timing is indeterminate.

Hey! How did I comment on a show I haven't heard yet? Thankfully nobody responded because I wasn't there. Especially good luck I didn't comment on the computer related samples. I wonder how many times Hollywood tried (and failed) to remake War Games? Seems overdue. Shall we play a game?

Timezones was my gateway Negativland song. This was a formative record for me, I tried to emulate this aesthetic in my Tullis & Clark stuff. To me, Timezones is timeless (no pun intended), it holds up so well.

It's an odd term, but a person who breaks things is a "broker", and hello (goodbye) to you too. Happy Standard Time!

Avatar ♥ 11:16am
→ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) : Droll, I've been wanting to do that for a long, long time. And my concept for how to make it happen is quite exciting.
Hello to my idea guy and my housekeeper, and "thanks to my whole team!"

P.S. I'm pretty sure Hollywood is right now or has just recently made an actual remake of War Games. Your sad wish has come true. I think the whole cast just stays home and texts each other.

The Negativland record was a request from a listener, oh, two weeks ago? In a different timeslot than this one, no less.
