Listener comments!

1:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hear it now, or come back today 5-7pm ET for the live listening & chat party, here!

♥ 5:01pm fred:

Hi Kenzo and all

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

Hi Fred and none

5:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The Beatles strings + Dvorak's New World Symphony: I like it!

♥ 5:11pm Rich in Washington:

Hi Kenzo and everybody!

5:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hi Rich! Welcome to this new journey not quite the same as the old one

♥ 5:14pm fred:

Kenzo, your timing worries me: I was at a rare summer show last week, and you didn't play a new show

♥ 5:15pm northguineahills:

Brian Greene told me there were 13 dimensions......

5:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The smoke comes out of daddy's cigarette, but it never goes back in.

5:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

You cannot go back. That's why it's hard to choose. You have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible.

5:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Fred, we have to compare schedules more often.

5:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The film Groundhog Day stole the idea from

♥ 5:22pm Rich in Washington:

12:01 was great.

5:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Truly grim

5:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Welcome to 4 of them, ngh!

5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

You'd never guess, but I'm manipulating and fading samples the entire time this is playing.

5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'll bet you wouldn't let yourself get stuck in a rut for 23 days

5:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Something terrible has happened to the whole world. It's like it's stuck. You know, like a needle on a scratched record.

5:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I stayed in an apartment once that was like this. The cleaning person reset the whole thing every day. Even threw away my stuff.

♥ 5:34pm Rand al'Thor:

I escaped the loop.

5:36pm still b/p:

"Make America easy, graceful and gay again!"

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

Self-help speaker to help you consume and accumulate more

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

The basic freedom of the American people: The freedom of individual choice

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

yay capitalistic greed

5:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Welcome, Rand and still b/p to your level of ambivalence

5:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The Target Shoots First: Amazing inside look at the disfunction of corporations

♥ 5:48pm chresti:

hello-

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

Welcome to never, chresti

♥ 5:50pm Rich in Washington:

My brother and I signed up for Columbia House record club when we were teenagers. What a mess. We DID get lots of cheap records, initially.

5:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

You will LOVE this intern's semi-experimental documentary

♥ 5:51pm northguineahills:

It always happens again, sometimes at the same time.....

5:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Two great albums at one low price. No! This month only, two great albums, get them both at one low price.

♥ 5:54pm Rich in Washington:

then we'll send you a record you have no interest in and then mail you a bill for it before you can return it.

5:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

That was used to pump up record sales numbers for particular albums. The automatic CD/tape of the month that got sent to Columbia House subscribers who failed to send in the monthly "don't send me anything" postcard were counted in sales, which was part of the raquet this was part of.

♥ 5:58pm fred:

I don't miss corporate life, even though the money is far better. Not that there's a lack of back-stabbing, stupidity, or bureaucracy in research and music, but composers and researchers are weirder

♥ 5:59pm Rich in Washington:

"it shipped platinum!"

♥ 6:01pm Rich in Washington:

I've always wondered how accurate that Steve Albini penned essay about the music biz - entitled The Problem With Music - is. Worth reading, if you haven't.

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

I've never seen a workplace without debilating internal political issues

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

Steve Albini essay reads like truth

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

And then there's the Trichordist blog by Jonathan Segal. It's like that essay as a never-ending book.

♥ 6:02pm northguineahills:

I make 35% of what I made 8 years ago, but I'm much happier, I have a chill office, and I like what I do.

♥ 6:02pm Rich in Washington:

Nor have I. I think the Peter Principle rules a lot of businesses.

6:03pm still b/p:

Sounds like Hugh Beaumont...Beaver's dad.

6:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I've been brought in as a consultant to workplaces where the only reason they couldn't do the task themselves was because of interpersonal dysfunction.

♥ 6:04pm northguineahills:

Other Narrator: Actually, the Florida aquifer is dangerously close to to be tapped completely. Orlando is wanting to pay millions for the rights and the pipeline to pump water from the St Johns River.

6:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Sometimes the value I added was just that I could interview two employees for information who were unwilling to talk to each other.

♥ 6:07pm Rich in Washington:

It's a big part of workplace dysfunction. It can paralyse an entire workplace. People get entrenched in their little conflict foxholes and never move.

♥ 6:07pm fred:

OK, the chaos means I have 6 bosses who ignore each other, but one of them played a live set on WFMU. I also have a coworker who has a PhD in machine learning, also has a diploma in cello playing, and is a 6'5 rugby player with a hipster beard

6:07pm still b/p:

I have friends who mediate and consult on troubled corporate cultures, etc. I'm always intrigued that they can solve ANYthing, given how narrow, charged up and stubborn people can be in causing friction or refusing to be pulled away from it.

6:08pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Ah, multiple bosses. Harkens back to Office Space

6:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yes, hello?

♥ 6:11pm fred:

Management collage. I'm sure this show helps me deal with it

♥ 6:11pm Carmichael:

Heya Kenzo and everybody everywhere at varying points of time.

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

One of the quotes on my old Ken's Last Ever feedback page is someone saying they play my show so their co-workers avoid their office

6:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Carmichael, will you be letting go now?

♥ 6:12pm Rand al'Thor:

Hello, hello?

♥ 6:12pm Carmichael:

I don't believe I was ever holding on.

6:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Rand, yes?

♥ 6:13pm northguineahills:

What, no "hoy hoy"s?

♥ 6:13pm Rand al'Thor:

Always letting go.

♥ 6:13pm fred:

The one time someone in my office asked me to play what I was listening out loud, it was a Kenny G show. It never happened again

♥ 6:13pm Rich in Washington:

mohi mohi.

♥ 6:15pm northguineahills:

Considering I only have 3 other coworkers, and one's my boss, and more then half the time I'm alone at the office, I don't have to worry about nosy coworkers.

6:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yay more marketing samples

6:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

19 years before Visicalc

6:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Steve Jobs who is on the map because of Visicalc happening to use his platform

6:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I almost played a documentary about the Acme text editor

♥ 6:21pm fred:

@ngh: I envy you: I share an office with my newest boss, and he doesn't like noise. At all. So nobody talks in the office. Hello and goodbye, and silence in between. If you have to talk, even about work, you'd better step out

♥ 6:22pm Carmichael:

I manage an office of 15. My door is currently closed.

6:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

And...there are the Visicalc creators. No devastating globalization without their invention!

♥ 6:23pm northguineahills:

I want a Mark II computer, I just don't have enough space.....

@fred: I could put speakers in my office if I wanted, as now I my own office w/ a thick door. but, I prefer wireless earbuds, as I sometimes need to do lab work.

♥ 6:23pm Carmichael:

Is there a documentary about Lotus 1-2-3?

6:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

There's a book about the next failed project by the Lotus 1-2-3 creator (1-2-3 being a mere knock-off of Visicalc). Thinking In Code

6:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yay samples about programming

♥ 6:26pm fred:

NeXT was ahead of its time. But Steve Jobs was also a major asshole

6:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

A cruel human

6:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Kids talking about procedure names!

♥ 6:27pm fred:

I remember Logo

6:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I debugged Logo a couple of weeks ago at the hacker conference

6:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

When I try typing a year I often start with 19

6:31pm Momcat:

Hey!

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

Welcome to the train, mc

6:32pm Momcat:

It's not 19?
Gotta run...

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

Take the A train

6:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Final 10 minutes of the new show

♥ 6:35pm Rich in Washington:

It takes a stethoscope to find a hammer.

♥ 6:37pm Rich in Washington:

I'm listening to the MP3 and I think I am about 20-30 seconds in the future. I'm using my web browser, so dropping the needle - so to speak - on the precise time is impossible.

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

Type the part you're up to, and we'll subtract the chat lag

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

Groundhog Day should've been a bleak horror movie like this

♥ 6:40pm Rich in Washington:

Everything is transient.

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

Can you accept that there's never going to be any change?

6:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Can you accept that there's always going to be change?

6:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The archive sounds much better. The live stream handles esp my mic voice really badly. Turns it fuzzy.

♥ 6:42pm Franco Twinkie:

This was a perfect soundtrack for a beer nap!

♥ 6:43pm Rich in Washington:

Yes. The MP3 does sound much better. I've sort of got a surround kind of setup where I am listening. It sounds great. Not actually SURROUND surround, but I can move the sound around the room sort of.

6:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Franco, you don't have to go home, but you can stay here
