Hi Matt

Here are a few that might work this week;
Is This Where You Live- The Church
The Dog End Of A Day Gone By- Love And Rockets
Tugboat- Galaxie 500
Why don’t you make these playlists available on Spotify for us in Europe that doesn’t have satellite radio?
This is a question that comes up a lot, and I understand why people ask. But I am paid by Sirius XM to program and host the “Dark Wave” show, and given that Sirius XM is a paid radio service, I can’t turn around and offer the same content for free on a different platform. And I know that’s particularly frustrating to people outside North America who don’t have the option to subscribe to Sirius XM.
Could you play Over the Wall by Echo and the Bunnymen
