Greatness as always Matt, but I do believe I heard Duran Duran’s Notorious played?? Didn’t see it on the playlist. Was I hearing things?
More Skinny Puppy, i.e. One Time One Place and Revolting Cock’s No Devotion & Attack Ships on Fire. Thanks for your acute knowledge of the best time in not so popular music. This stuff is still miles above the current stuff.
Yes, there was a slight glitch last night and a Ramones song and “Notorious” got played during the show. I talked to the folks at Sirius and they figured it out and say it won’t happen again…
