Great show as always. For next week can you play
New Order – Everything’s Gone Green. Goodnight!
Can you PLZ dig up “Sick For Toys” by Björk/Sugarcubes for next Sunday’s “Dark Wave”? Thanx!
How’bout some early Jane’s Addiction like “1%”! Or if you can find it in the vaults, “Suffer Some”–the original on Cabinet, not the Strays version.
Thanks for the Ribbons. And it’s always great to hear Holiday in Cambodia. Thanks for the great show. Have a great week
Hi, awesome show. Can can you play “Addiction” by Sister Machine Gun?
Request: 16 Volt “Motorskill”
For next week:
Lush- Deluxe
Dead Can Dance- Persephone (The Gathering of Flowers)
The Cure- Figurehead (live from the “Paris” record)
Lowlife- Coward’s Way
Catherine Wheel- Crank
One or more of these would be great!
I second ALL of these!
A thought for a future broadcast… Since we have been without live shows for just about a year, what do you think about a Darkwave consisting entirely of live versions of songs?
Would love to hear Mighty Lemon Drops, “Where Do We Go From Heaven”. That would be sublime.
I second this!
Requesting Everything you Do by The Mighty Lemmon Drops and some Love and Rockets, Dog End of a Day Gone by
I second this!!
Nice Show. It was great to hear the House of Love. They often get forgotten.
Thank you for the Adam And The Ants on 1/24!
Revolting Cocks – Revolting Cock Au Lait please.
Please play Duran Duran-The Seventh Stranger
I love this show! I listen every week. I would like to hear The Chameleons~ Less than Human, please. Thanks for the awesome playlists
I LOVED last night’s Dark Wave, Matt! Big Black, Dead Kennedys, RevCo, Chris & Cosey – great show, as usual. If you have time on an upcoming episode, any of these would be great to hear.
The Church – Shadow Cabinet
Coil – Windowpane
The Sisterhood – Giving Ground
Cheers, good sir!
Request
The Darling Buds You Won’t Make Me Die
Love the show and try listening to Dark Wave every Sunday. I’d like to request a later track from my favorite Industrial group, Terminal by Skinny Puppy.
Thanx!
Matt, while I am a big Depeche Mode fan, I had never realized just how great the complete Ultra album is until you mentioned it on a past show. After revisiting it for hours, it is now in my top five albums of all time by any group. Do you have any other underrated albums by any dark wave artists we should give a more thorough listen? And, please play:
Killing Joke – Seeing Red
Thanks much.
Hi Matt,
Thank you for another great show. If appropriate with your list next week, can I please request one of these songs:
The Church – Lustre
Simple Minds – Big Sleep
Hope you have a good week. Thank you
Here’s an obscure request:
Ian Dury – “Very Personal”
Cheers!
Great show as always! How about “The Breaking Hands” by The Gun Club? :) some Tuxedomoon and Chameleons?

Requests:
“WXJL Tonight” (Travelogue, 1980) by The Human League
“Metal”, (The Pleasure Principle, 1979) by Gary Numan
“No Birds” (Metal Box/Second Edition, 1980) by Public Image Ltd.
Hey Matt it was great hearing Japan. A good show as always, have a good week.
Matt, I appreciate this show so much!
Thank you Matt for ‘When I Bed’.
Would you consider ‘Real Men’ by The Jazz Butcher.
Your shows are so great, so important. Never Stop!
First hour was fantastic!
Looking forward to this week’s show!
Thank you for playing my requests! Awesome show this week. That live version of Blasphemous Rumours is absolute perfection.
Dark-Mood Music Guru Matt, I was listening to the replay and when it got to All Glory by Southern Death Cult, something in the rhythm was nagging at me as familiar. Then it hit me: it sounds like The Cure’s Icing Sugar. Now I’ve got an ear worm.
Can you play Icing Sugar (New Mix) off of the Catch single?
PS – Loved hearing Holiday in Cambodia! I happened to catch Primus cover that song on 12/29/2018 in L.A.. I don’t have any aspirations that you could find that, but if you did and play it, you’d be upgraded from Guru to Messiah.
Amazing job as always and thank you for The Church. I’d love to heard the following in the future:
Colin Newman – Order For Order
The Bolshoi – Books on the Bonfire
Moev – Ophelia
Kissing the Pink – Certain Things Are Likely
Matt, you are the only reason we subscribe to Sirius. The 2/21 show is our FAVORITE so far, my husband said you were on FIRE!! You always have more than a few surprises for these jaded old Goths, and it’s really hard to surprise us. Love, the Allens in Minneapolis.
