Stopping in for a bit. How do I get to hear it? No links.

It will be a gradual climb to a dense peak
  5:08pm Bliss:

I saw a poster from far away, It pulled my attention to it, though I could not tell what it was about. I rode my bike over there to see it. It was a Tori Amos poster. I'd never heard of her. Bought the album with Cornflake girl on it. Amazed at first listen.
Avatar 5:09pm mossy lightouse:

Hello!! I am already quite astonished! Music, and sound overall, still expand beyond familiarity and explanation for how they become what and how they are!
Avatar 5:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I was a concert photographer. Her arrangement was that the photographers would show up before the show to a special room where she writhed around at a piano silently for 5 minutes. So, yes, image conscious person.
  5:12pm Bliss:

Strange.

What made me think that your previous show was your final one?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:16pm fred:

A guy I know did a series taking picture of performers before and after shows. If they looked the same, something was wrong
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:16pm Rich in Washington:

when Jerry passed away, I watched both Hardly Working and Slapstick of Another Kind, more or less at the same time.
Avatar 5:17pm northguineahills:

The Saint-Saëns they play at the France movie at Epcot (well, at least in the 80s).
Avatar 5:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Carmichael, very perceptive. Last week I played an actual last-ever (from 2005). It was really the end.
Avatar 5:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Primer, amazing $7000 DIY movie
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:19pm Rich in Washington:

The makers of Primer also made the amazing Upstream Color.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:20pm Rich in Washington:

I need to see Primer again. I enjoyed it, but it made my head hurt.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:20pm Parq:

Huh huh. He said "Irwin's thingy".
Avatar 5:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Upstream Color, amazing amazing. After it was over I just sat in the dark room for two hours thinking and feeling about it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:20pm Rich in Washington:

This is lovely, Kenzo.
Avatar 5:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm going to try to start a conversation about each sample today. Blade Runner! I'm seeing a 4k restoration in a theater tomorrow!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:21pm Rich in Washington:

I came into the middle of Upstream - my wife was already watching it - so she wanted to watch it over with me. It was like a loop. I think I need to see that one again too.
Avatar 5:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Jerry Lewis! Umm yeah he's gone. His self-direction skills were impressive.
Avatar 5:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Stone Roses, umm that was a really fun documentary even if they can't get their aspect ratios straight
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:22pm Rich in Washington:

I am hoping it plays in my town. I have only seen Blade Runner in the theater once, the Final Cut run.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:23pm Stanley:

Just switched over. Hello.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:23pm Rich in Washington:

I meant Ridley's restored directors cut. Whatever that was called.
Avatar 5:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Well so much for that goal. I can't even type the samples fast enough

EVIL ice cream truck is EVIL and must be catapulted into the sun
Avatar 5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

But the Microsoft loop, that's from the Regurgitation show from around 2002, borrowed a laptop and used the built-in sounds and maybe Media Player 6.4
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:25pm fred:

Was that the famous Mr Softee music? I've never heard it, but it seems to fit the description
Avatar 5:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Oh yeah, I think I heard Mr. Softee in there
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:26pm listener james from westwood:

Hypnotic blend. Watts is coming in like a spell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:27pm Dave in Vermont:

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

Oh I like playing with volume sliders
Avatar 5:29pm northguineahills:

I still don't miss the Mr. Softee jingle, give it another year and I'll wax nostalgic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:29pm Ike:

Yep, that was it. But you can't get the full effect until you listen to it blaring out of a speaker on every street in your neighborhood on a loop 634,928 times with no other sounds except traffic and maybe a few dumb screaming children while your own sweaty hands desperately grasp to jam the earbuds in deeper... deeper... to blot out the wretched, wretched repetition. And maybe the men in the white coats coming to drag you away.
Avatar 5:30pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hi, Carmichael, northguineahills, Parq, Ike, Stanley, and Dave!
Avatar 5:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Ike, next week I'll give you more Mr. Softee
Avatar 5:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

We're in a long moment with Other Shapes Are Possible from a year ago, with Primer added in...

All the Crichton stories are ridiculous and full of holes but have great premises about the failure of technology

Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:52pm Rich in Washington:

He made one of them. I cannot remember which. Robert Fripp did sessions for another one, but I don't think they were used.

First time this Bryan Adams song on WFMU
Avatar 5:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

But not this Bryan Adams song

Oh here comes the Joe Frank
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:55pm listener james from westwood:

Always welcome!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:55pm Rich in Washington:

Fripp/Vista: Yes. I loved that. The talkback was almost more engrossing than Fripp's soundscaping.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:56pm listener james from westwood:

Between Watts and Frank this is bringing back memories of sitting in my car listening to the last bits of their broadcasts on WFMU in the 90s, unable to leave without hearing the end.
Avatar 5:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

So this is Joe Frank with Kate Bush
Avatar 5:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I really ought to release video of the making of this one of these days
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:58pm fred:

@Rich in Washington: if Fripp records for Vista, and no one ever installs it, does it make a sound?
Avatar 5:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

They didn't even use the Fripp music
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:59pm Rich in Washington:

Do it Kenzo! Do it all in one take, like Russian Ark!
Avatar 5:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Rich, that's funny. But of course I do it all in one take! Unrehearsed, unlike Russian Ark
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:00pm Rich in Washington:

Do 360 degree truck shots like Live At Pompei.
Avatar 6:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

So this is Lou Reed with Kate Bush
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:02pm listener james from westwood:

Oooh, I think I remember this Reed loop getting play in winter 2013. (Fucked up time for me; this show was actually a weekly touchstone of unreality amid hard reality back then.)
Avatar 6:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I was a bit surprised that soon after I did a show of remixing loops of Street Hassle that the same thing happened on The Best Show
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:04pm listener james from westwood:

It's a great candidate for looping!
Avatar 6:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Well EVERYTHING is

Avatar 6:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I mean this is a little irritating right now but I still like it
Avatar 6:40pm steve:

yes
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:41pm Santos L. Halper:

Crazy pleasing. Except maybe the nickleback
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:41pm Rand al'Thor:

I like the piano track in the backing right now. It's a nice mix with everything else.
Avatar 6:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

My second time trying that Nickelback out. It's harsh
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:42pm fred:

The Nickelback was a little too dominant. I know it's a first, but it could have used something else layered in
Avatar 6:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I really want to remember what this piano piece is
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:42pm Gary:

You're right! I would have thought at least one WFMU DJ might have played Nickelback previously, but ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:42pm Rand al'Thor:

I think the last time you used that Nickelback track you kept changing its speed.
Avatar 6:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I think my first go at Nickelback was a little better but plenty irritating. It was mixed with Shania Twain (also Mutt Lange)
Avatar 6:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Mmm MP3 artifacts. The archive version I'll post just before the show ends will be way better quality than this live stream.
Avatar 6:44pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Nickelback brings out the lurkers. Hi Santos and Gary!
Avatar 6:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Aha, Sergei Yevtushenko.
Avatar 6:46pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

So this is Sergei Yevtushenko and Tori Amos and Shane Carruth from Primer

Feel free to use a clicky star on the episode, send me email at ken at lastever dot org, even use the unreliable and hardly future-proof Facebook platform: www.facebook.com... 'cause I'd love to hear from you
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:51pm fred:

I might skip next week's show: a whole week of meetings and occasional addresses by our Dear Leader will probably have my brain in hibernate mode after three days
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:52pm Rand al'Thor:

Thank you, as always, for the show, Ken.
Avatar 6:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

First ever Velvet Cactus Society on WFMU
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:52pm Rand al'Thor:

Gonna listen back to what I missed in this episode once the archive hits.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm Rand al'Thor:

Cactus!
Avatar 6:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Rand, it'll hit in a moment!
Avatar 6:54pm mossy lightouse:

I think the mp3 artifacts sort of balance out that we are also sharing attention with the live chat!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:54pm Santos L. Halper:

Thanks Kenzo!
Avatar 6:54pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

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

This is the exit music now, so we can talk and breathe and hug each other and stuff
Avatar 6:56pm northguineahills:

Made it!
Avatar 6:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yes, sharing together in the live moment is quite important
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:57pm Rand al'Thor:

Nice to know we've all made it.
Avatar 6:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Thank you very very much, still b/p, Carmichael, fred, listener james from westwood, Rich in Washington, steve, Bliss, Ike, northguineahills, Dave in Vermont, Stanley, Parq, mossy lighthouse, and all the quiet people and last night's people and the texting people and the FB'ing people and the future people
Avatar 6:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The high-quality archive...it's right here already!
Avatar 6:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Stay tuned to the stream for Gary's Bodega Pop Live
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm fred:

Thanks again, Kenzo. Hopefully there will be more live shows in my future soon, so I'll probably not catch as many shows live. But I loved being able to do so for a while
Avatar 6:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

oh and Santos and Gary, bye you too
Avatar 6:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Glad, fred, really glad!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm Rand al'Thor:

Good bye, all.
Avatar 7:02pm mossy lightouse:

Thank you! It has been a wyrding, strengthening, redialing helpful show! I am very thankful to have heard and felt it. Enjoy your experiences with the film showing tomorrow!
Avatar 4:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yes, all that. Again. lastever.org...
