RANDOM THOUGHTS DEPARTMENT:

1) Remember what I said about our show pages on SPREAKER & MIXCLOUD?     They look like they're losing weight, don't they?

2) The question has been asked: "How much longer is this whole extended encore thing going to last?"

The answer: There are 2 real reasons I'm running the entire show library over again since I pulled the plug on new episodes back in February... 

A) A not-small number of listeners wrote in, lamenting that the programme was canceled JUST after they'd finally discovered it's creamy goodness.   (You had 2 years to find it kids, what can I say?) 

So... as a consolation prize to all the people who wrote in, I thought I'd throw them a bone in the shape all the good stuff they missed from the very beginning.    I'm a nice guy that way.

B) The eternal optimist in me thought that "maybe" I'd be able to resume doing my very heavy uncle thing later on in the year when certain aspects of my private life calmed the fuck down.   And... I thought it couldn't hurt to keep the brand name active (and the communication channels open) until we knew for certain one way or another.

I will say this: At current consumption, we will exhaust our second cycle of material a couple of weeks before Halloween 2016.     At that time, one of two things will happen - either I'll grit my teeth and pull a brand new Volume 53 out of my arse... or we'll pull a Radiohead and completely vanish from the interwebs.   But without a new single.   We don't know.

3) I've been a loyal, faithful Amazon customer for 16 years.   They get more of my disposable income than every other vendor combined.   And overall I've been extremely satisfied with the service.   And the customer service.   But those days are apparently over.   

Amazon customer service on both sides of the Atlantic have been fucking with me for 3 straight days, and I have had enough!    Frustrated.   Insulted.  Disappointed.   Angry.   That's how Amazon has made Uncle feel.

I just can't conceive Amazon customer support failing on such a catastrophic scale, but I will say a LOT of it rests on the shoulders of their English-As-A-Third language support crew.   This week, I've set the record for saying "could you repeat that again, please?"   No more.

I hope eBay, Barnes & Noble and Best Buy can handle the uptick in business when Amazon gets served with divorce papers.   And if they don't pull their thumbs out SOON - it will happen.
