Matt, Thank you always for your show, listen to & love it every week. Wanted to make a request
Camouflage The Great Commandment
Or Mission UK Serpents Kiss
For those that listened, what version of “Never Let Me Down Again” was played?
Also, isn’t it “Im Rhythmus Bleiben”, not “In”?
Yes, that is correct. Fixed now.
And as for “Never Let Me Down Again,” it was this remix: https://amzn.to/3jq5iCN
That version of ‘Never Let Me Down’ is known as the ‘Split Mix’ on the DM releases. Believe it is a mix of the normal version transitioning into the ‘Aggro Mix’.

Hi Matt, my request for next weekend is Joy Division’s “The Eternal.”
Playing The Cure and Chameleons back to back really showed how much the latter was influenced by the former.
A great show. Loved the TKK ‘Cuz it’s hot.
Love to hear this upcoming week Niter Ebb So Bright So Strong and also Acid Horse’s No Name No Slogan
Hi Matt, could you play The Black Cat, London After Midnight? Love that song. Thanks!
I think the “Slicing Up Eyeballs” title May more likely be influenced by its use in the Pixies’ song “Debaser”, which of course is sort of about the Dali/Bunuel film:
“Debaser”
“Debaser” is the opening track of Doolittle. This sample contains the first chorus and the bridge into the second verse.
Problems playing this file? See media help.
The lyrics are based on a surrealist film by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí called Un Chien Andalou. The film includes a scene in which a woman’s eye is slit by a razor, which is referenced in the song lyric “Slicin’ up eyeballs/I want you to know.” According to Black Francis:
Soft Set – Never Die
