Thank you
How about playing The Gruesome Twosome “Hallucination Generation” ?
Love that your playlist pushes outside the predictable with artists like Anne Clark and Sad Lovers and Giants. We listen every week and are always impressed by your latest mix! Thanks!
This was an especially great week. Morrissey, Lords of the New Church and live Siouxsie!! I owe you my life!!
The problem I have with the playlists is that they dont flow well. They are just thrown together and have no fluidity to them. Nothing builds up or moves easily into the next song, its just a lot of mish mash that doesnt make for what i would consider a good mixed tape.
I really love Song to the Siren…. Elizabeth Frazier nails that song and I love how you followed it up with Joy Division. Thanks for all that.
For the next show:
The Cure The Kiss
Cocteau Twins Mussette and Drums
Dead Can Dance A Passage in Time
Tones on Tail Twist
This Mortal Coil Come Here My Love
How about All The Wrong People Are Dying by The Styrenes.
The last 6 songs/groups are right in my wheelhouse. As well as a bunch of the others. Nice work SUE!!
