RIP Eddie Van Halen, who passed away this week after a battle with throat cancer.

I always had a soft spot for Van Halen despite hating so many bands that were indebted to them, and I think my reasons why are best summarized in this tweet.

Excellent epic Krautrock set!
Casey Dougherty 4:35:19 PM
thank you! glad you enjoyed it
Bud Burroughs 4:40:46 PM
I'd read about the Bent Arcana record, but hadn't heard any of it yet. Looks like I need to buy it.
Casey Dougherty 4:41:00 PM
I knew John Dwyer had another new project out this year but it slipped my mind when I put this together and I didn't make the connection
Casey Dougherty 4:41:19 PM
haven't listened to all of it yet but it's very good
Alia Palumbo 4:44:58 PM
thanks for throwing some Moondog in
Casey Dougherty 4:45:26 PM
one of many great artists the station and listeners have turned me onto
Alia Palumbo 4:48:34 PM
Did I hear you mention that you were going to play Black Heart Procession?
Casey Dougherty 4:49:20 PM
not that I can think of unless you mean the PJ Harvey song I played at the start of the show
Alia Palumbo 4:51:11 PM
Ha! I guess that was what you referring too. But say you wanted to play BHP another time.
Casey Dougherty 4:51:03 PM
I can try to work it into next show around the same time
Casey Dougherty 4:51:11 PM
Any suggestions?
Casey Dougherty 5:01:06 PM
