Matt many thanks for playing my Electrafixion request. Appreciate the extra mile you went to to get it played.
For a future show can you play the Sunshine Blind cover of I Ran from The Flock Of Seagulls? It’s amazing.
Stay safe Darkwave Family. Til we meet again.
Great episode tonight! See you next week!
Can you dig up “Monkey Talk” by Lene Lovich for next Sunday’s Dark Wave? Thanx!
Thanks for the Manufacture and Severed Heads (a Nettwerk two for one)!
For a future show, how about some Meat Beat Manifesto like God OD, or Edge of Control?
Hey Matt! I heard that at the beginning of the show. That was cool I never thought my request would lead a show ever. Thanks for the Killing Joke and Japan.
Well for next week since the Hall of Fame was originally scheduled to happen next weekend and to help fill the void I have a few requests.
Depeche Mode “Black Celebration” or “Everything Counts” from 101.
Nine Inch Nails “Terrible Lie” or “Hurt” from ‘And All That Could Have Been.’
Thank you for the mention on this show, you made me whip up a homemade gin and tonic to help celebrate this occasion.
Good stuff, Matt!
Here are a couple requests for a possible future DW –
The Jesus and Mary Chain – UV Ray
The Names – Nightshift
Thanks as always!
Dark Wave is always a pleasure to listen to. While I usually enjoy hearing songs or artists I didn’t know I needed to, i still make requests. If you could play “From a Million Miles,” by Single Gun Theory _or_ Bigod 20’s version of “Like A Prayer,” I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
Next week?
Sick For Toys – Sugarcubes
Homesick – The Cure
Faded Flowers – Shriekback
Ideas As Opiates – Tears For Fears
You have the best show. Would you play Red Lorry Yellow Lorry “Beating My Head”? Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks for a fantastic Sunday evening. Take care.
Mortgage- Foetus
In Shreds- The Chameleons
Love the Skinny Puppy!
Hey Matt,
Great Show last night…
For next week can you please play one or more of the following:
Cocteau Twins- Amelia
The Cure- Plainsong
Dead Can Dance- Mesmerism
Ride- Nowhere
Great show (again) Matt!
Only listening to it for a month or so. Therefore I might get my requests completely wrong…
Anyway, I was wondering if you could play “The Mercy Seat” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Cheers,
Stefan
Angelic episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Ministry, “The Angel” – THE very definition of a perfect song.
Request for future show:
David Bowie, “Cat People (Putting Out Fire)”
Loved The Mission. 1969 Live. Great show again!!
Amazing d-wave selections Matt.
Please consider
Winter Kills Yazz
Rhapsody Siouxsie
The River (live) The Cult
Hi Matt, could you possibly maybe play the lucy mix of Possibly Maybe by Bjork? Or The Staircase by Radiohead? Cheers
So many great selections this time around. Hard to say what the highlight was. Though Japan and Bauhaus were near the top of the list.
Could you play something off The Neon Judgement’s Horny as Hell album? Maybe either ‘The Sea’ or ‘Sultan of Sex’?
Stay healthy. Thanks.
