News has reached us of the death of Don Van Vliet aka Captain Beefheart.

He is said to have died of complications from multiple sclerosis.

Regular listeners may have found last week’s Blowin familiar, and at odds with the playlist we sent out.

Some, ahem.. confusion caused a glitch in the system. Human error.. an all that…

 Just to confuse you further, this week’s broadcast programme is the one playlisted last week. Both playlists below.
