VHUS: Now with 33% MORE reruns every week!!



Hi, kids!   Hope you're having a super week.  Don't be frightened by the early injection of rich, creamy Uncle goodness.   I have my reasons:

We're still planning to downsize to a Pod-O-Matic freebie site on-or-around November 11th, 2017.   We have no plans to revive VHUS or produce fresh episodes (no matter how little you beg) - but I still want to keep our meager legacy online and streaming as long as I have breath in my body (and cable internet).

In order to give everyone a final chance at downloading the rest of our back catalog before the switchover, I'll have to toss 'em out in even bigger chunks than I had originally planned.   Here's the new game plan...

TWO Classic episodes from the vault every WEDNESDAY.

PLUS:

TWO MORE Classic episodes on FRIDAY.

At current consumption, we'll exhaust the entire package the week after Halloween.   Which is as good a time as any....



This weeks' first two chunks of podcast history!  (And you get TWO more on FRIDAY!)

From July, 2015: What bodily fluid makes a movie REALLY depraved?   Plus music from ROYAL THUNDER, PINEAPPLE THIEF, HEXVESSEL, PALLAS, THE SCORPIONS, HUMBLE PIE, BLIND GUARDIAN, THE TANGENT and much more stepmother-approved prog rock, metal, comedy and classic rock obscura.



DOWNLOAD VHUS v.38 
(Because some of you didn't do it back in 2015)





Our record-breaking 2016 Halloween Special, featuring unexpected appearances from BLONDIE, XTC, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, THE JAM, MADNESS, DEVO, THE SHOES, BILL NELSON, THE ENGLISH BEAT and JOY DIVISION!    Plus wacky haircuts, plastic fashions and widespread synthesizer abuse!   You’ve never heard a VHUS like THIS one!

(Because we've still got bandwidth to burn, baby!!)



Don't forget! TWO MORE vintage episodes coming FRIDAY!





Download even more episodes from the VHUS page @ Pod-O-Matic!

A Mad Crush on Metal Chicks In Black? Guilty as charged, your honor!





Nothing earth-shaking to report this week.... But I do have 5 chunks of random info you may digest if you wish.

1) The tentative date for our transition from BIG-VHUS-site to Little-VHUS-free-site is November 11th.

2) I'm considering setting up a public Dropbox folder where interested parties can download ~15-20 of our better episodes.   If you have any suggestions on what (or not) to include, drop me a line.

3)  Nice to see so many of you getting off your butts and taking advantage of the Classic Encore episodes on offer.   I also appreciate the letters from new listeners expressing their new-found appreciation of VHUS, as well as their dismay at being WAY too late to the party.  

4)  There's a new album out there called RHAPSODIES IN BLACK from a coven of well-known female gothic/symphonic  vocalists calling themselves EXIT EDEN.


The vocal lineup includes Clementine DelauneyAmanda Somerville,
Marina La Torraca and Anna Brunner (Epica's Simone Simons also guests on 2 tracks).

The gimmick: 11 goth-ified, opera-metal-injected covers of what most of us would consider God-awful POP songs (maybe a couple of exceptions).

I bought it.   I listened a few times.   I didn't hate it.  And I'm not ashamed.    Here's an Amazon link if you're curious.

5) Twitter & Uncle: Soon to be DIVORCED.   The shit and the politics are just too fucking deep.  




This weeks' offerings:

From May, 2015: The night I saw CHEAP TRICK for a buck, plus music from OPETH, GLASS HAMMER, THE MIGHTY BARD, GENTLE STORM, AGUSA, HIDDEN MASTERS, TAROT, and a bunch more lava lamp-powered prog, metal, comedy and classic rock obscura!    JOIN US!

DOWNLOAD VHUS v.34 
(Because most of you didn't do it back in 2015)




Also from April, 2015: Listeners respond to "The Buttery Elbow Of Love", plus music from ANEKDOTEN, KADAVAR, ARENA, HAKEN, BIGELF, UFO, KISKE-SOMERVILLE and a bunch more blacklight-powered prog, metal, comedy and classic rock obscura!   JOIN US!

DOWNLOAD VHUS v.35
(It will break your mother's heart if you don't)





I reveal the shit-holiest city I was ever forced to call home, also music from JADIS, KANSAS, SIRENIA, NO-MAN, LA BOCCA DELLA VERITA, ROXY MUSIC, plus more avacado-flavored prog, metal, comedy and classic rock obscura!   JOIN US!
DOWNLOAD VHUS v.63
(Because... because... okay, I got nothin')

It's VHUS Triple-Shots All The Way To The Finish Line!!!










As it says on the tin... we'll be feeding triple-doses of Classic VHUS every week until the very end.   Exciting, ain't it?!?

But don't thank me TOO much for this generosity - if I didn't do it this way, we would run out of quality server time (~2 months) well before we ran out of quality episodes.   In fact, the final month will see episodes rotating on and off the page every 5 days - there's THAT much material to cover before the cremation...

...which transitions to one quick sour-note from Uncle:
   
Yes, I know we're dead and mostly-gone.   And I fully expected you to seek fresh entertainment in podcasting pastures new after my passing.

BUT I didn't expect to get unceremoniously dumped into the bottom of the ratings so damned soon.    And you wonder why I cancelled the show.     Sigh.



This weeks' offerings:

From April, 2015: I get a fax from the stupidest woman on the planet, plus music from NIGHTWISH, RPWL, GLASS HAMMER, LONELY ROBOT, UBI MAIOR, ALPHATAURUS and a bunch more lava lamp-powered prog, metal, comedy and classic rock obscura!    JOIN US!

DOWNLOAD VHUS v.32 
(Because most of you didn't do it back in 2015)




Also from April, 2015: More Blonde jokes from Hell, plus music from THE DEVIN TOWNSHEND PROJECT, MARILLION, ARVEN, TAPROBAN, LYRIEL,  HELLOWEEN and a bunch more blacklight-powered prog, metal, comedy and classic rock obscura!   JOIN US!

DOWNLOAD VHUS v.33
(It will break your mother's heart if you don't)





If Wal-Mart can sell Xmas shit in September, then I can repeat our 2016 Holiday Special!   We read our Letters To Santa, and there's music from EL&P, BAD DREAMS, DARK SARAH, FISH, MYSTERY, FREEDOM TO GLIDE plus more fruitcake-flavored prog, metal, comedy and classic rock obscura!   JOIN US!

DOWNLOAD VHUS v.64
(Because it's almost Christmas, OK?!?)
