NO QUESTION: BEST SHOW EVER EVER EVER. I Love this show…
Next weeks show-
Please play-
The Cure- All Mine
Matt Sebastian for president !
I know you keep requesting this, but if you’re talking about the version on the expanded Pornography reissue, I just think the sound quality is too poor for radio
Absolutely incredible playlist!! Just about everyone of my favorites from albums Seventeen Seconds to Disintegration. Only song missing was All Cats are Grey to hit absolute perfection in my book.
Another week, another great show!
Amazing show for next week
New Order- Blue Monday
The The- Giant
Depeche Mode- Black Celebration
The Cramps- Fever
Joy Division- Failures
Shriekback- Malaria
What a time to be alive! BEST CURE TRIBUTE EVER! Loved EVERY SINGLE dark side of Cure songs you picked! Love hearing The Figurehead!
The Police – Invisible Sun
Thank you for playing M.
Matt,
OUTSTANDING!
Nicely balanced sets Matt. Must have taken a lot of time. Well done!
Upon further reflection, there needs to be a Matt Sebastian channel on Sirius / XM.
Wonderful show! Please add The Cure-Treasure for next week~thank you
On the next show could you play Rip it up by Orange Juice?
Also, great list!
Yes, agreed, fantastic selection, many faves in there – not a clunker in the bunch – and loved the commentary – I’ve been a die-hard fan ever since I heard ‘Killing An Arab’ from the *Standing On The Beach* singles collection on cassette… was very happy to hear you close the show with it! Another all-time fave (from same cassette): ‘The Exploding Boy,’ B-Side to ‘In-Between Days’ – BRAVO! ENCORE!!
Has anyone created an Apple Music or Spotify playlist? :)
For next show:
Pink turns Blue – After All
The Sisterhood – Giving Ground
The Cure – All Cats are Grey
Moev -Ophelia ?

Hi, Matt –
I think you’ll dig this playlist I cultivated. Lots of similarities to your show.
I was so happy to get into my car and hear Cure song after Cure song and such amazing picks I loved this show and agree you need your own channel!
Is there any way to continue streaming these playlists? As far as I can tell Sirius keeps them up a few weeks then deletes can you put it on your website to stream or elsewhere?
I would love to hear this show again.
