Hey Matt! Honestly I haven’t been keeping up with your show since I’ve been through a very hard period rn in my personal life. Anyways my only request is The Smiths ‘I Know Its Over’ and that you will just give a word of encouragement to all the Dark Wave listeners on my behalf and let everyone know to just keep pushing forward no matter what. Thanks.
Always a killer show. You need your own channel. I’d love to hear ‘S. Day II.” by Pink Turns Blue.
