WFMU: Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza: Playlist from April 5, 2021

Listener comments!
	3:02pm Webhamster Henry: A spoonful of sugar makes the Alan Watts go down.
	3:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This first 17 minutes may be familiar. The rest will be entirely unfamiliar.
	3:03pm Webhamster Henry: It's always familiar, I'm posting from 2024 today.
	3:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Diet Philosopher
	3:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Henry, thank you for your optimism about our rate of future memory decay
	3:06pm Webhamster Henry: WFMU's Give the Robot Some stream has been autogenerated for years now.
	3:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Nano nano
	3:07pm fred: There's a Cage quote in front of a theater where I used to go that goes "I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I'm doing"
	3:08pm Bas NL: Hi Kenzo, all! Are we all here and now?
	3:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Bas not yet
	3:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): fred Relatable
	3:26pm jimbrux: Hey there Ken and Extravaganders. Enjoying the end-of-world vibes here this evening (both photo and sounds).
	3:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): jimbrux It's all over
	3:29pm jimbrux: it always is
	3:30pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Welcome, all, and everyone else
	3:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This is probably an early demo of "there are no mistakes." I do remember what it felt like to be there that day, during the show, and I even remember choosing these bathroom sounds. But I don't quite remember how this odd noise came about.
	3:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): In fact I remember the bathroom visit we're hearing. Odd that I remember more and more about this moment as I listen. Many shows I simply don't remember what it was like to make. Perhaps because this was a non-repeating location.
	3:42pm Rich in Washington: Uh.
	3:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ah, I see the connection to the show from 9 months later (on stage at Siberia, NYC), nothing but these answering machine tapes
	3:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Rich, uh, whatever
	3:44pm Rich in Washington: um
	3:46pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I wonder why I wasn't using Winamp yet, even though I'd been using it at home for 3 years by this time
	3:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Scratch that, this is probably Winamp. But I couldn't play more than one sound at once with it, due to sound driver limitations of Windows 95. Two laptops doubled things, plus I was running...I wish I remembered what...some sort of delay/processing software on one of them. I wonder if it was AudioMulch, but I don't think so.
	3:49pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I borrowed one of the laptops, and borrowed this gigantic mixing board, which someone generously also brought to me for a few other shows. Buying a little board would've been easier, but deliberate sharing culture and the resultant politics and aesthetics have always appealed to me.
	3:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Mixing board from Corey, Secret Agent Gel, who himself carried it down from upstate NY where my radio show life had begun
	3:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Huh, it's this guy secretagentgel.com...
	3:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Presumably he was among the entourage on stage right now, but I don't remember. There were a lot of people crammed up there.
	3:55pm fred: A different kind of time warping today, as memories emerge
	3:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I wish for others to read from their calendars from the show dates. Jan. 27, 2004, where were you?
	3:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Whooops, I did have a more creative name for the Knitting Factory sets...
	4:01pm fred: Probably nowhere interesting. But three days later I went to Instants Chavirés for the first time, a life-changing event (Charlemagne Palestine was playing)
	4:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ahh
	4:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I went to a SXSW volunteer call, was horrified, and subsequently always left down while that was happening. I miss the scrappy and really-volunteer CinemaTexas
	4:11pm Corey (Secret Agent Gel): Ah, the memories! :-)
	4:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Welcome back, Corey!
	4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: This works out well since I'm usually lost. Hi, everyone.
	4:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): KFHP: Where
	4:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I would be happy to reunite all the people who I ever encountered in the midst of this radio project
	4:31pm geoff: Better late than never
	4:34pm jimbrux: OK I'm stuck in a 1987 family holiday, nice.
	4:35pm jimbrux: Was this when I was happiest, or do I only imagine it that way? Is there a difference?
	4:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): geoff better neve than later
	4:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): jimbrux, you are happiest right now, as per your imagination
	4:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Splashing, screaming: Field recording by Ben Dixon, 2002: "Ku-Ring-Gai Chase, Australia"
	4:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ahhhh the stereo connection is finally made
	4:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine - 15th loop, reversed
	4:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ohh we're wrapping up the past-present and we'll momentarily experiment with visiting a new present-present in 3 minutes
	4:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Requests?
	4:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I'll playlist this after I'm done. Love to all
	4:54pm jimbrux: Woozy and wonderful as ever. Thanks Ken.
	4:55pm Bas NL: Timeless, Kenzo! Thanks!
	4:55pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Kenzo! This was wonderfully hypnotic and I dare say healing.
	4:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): health, real health, please, please
