Great show! Loved hearing Gary Numan – Metal, 1,000 Homo DJ’s, and Front 242. I’d like to request Killing Joke – Requiem for next week. Thanks!
Please consider Section 25’s Dirty Disco for next week’s show. Thanks!
I’d love to hear any of the following for next week’s episode.
• Shunt – Recoil
• Babooshka – Kate Bush
• Forbidden Colours – Ryuichi Sakomoto and David Sylvian
Thanks in advance!
Was planting my garden seeds this weekend and the wife broke into song, the Sisters of Mercy “Bury Me Deep” . . . can you play that as an homage to us gardeners? :)
Particularly great show!
That first hour was for the DW books!
Hearing MBV’s “I Only Said” made me remember seeing them live on their most recent US tour, and anyone who saw them at that time will recall that feeling when they opened with that tune and all were first hit with the sonic wave.
Here are some requests for this week –
Depeche Mode – Shake the Disease (101 album if possible, thanks!)
The Cult – Hollow Man
Thanks!
As always, another terrific show! I’d love to hear the following in upcoming shows:
Swallow – Follow Me Down
New Model Army – Better Than Them
SWANS – Love Will Save You
Ian McCulloch – Lover, Lover, Lover
SWALLOW!!! yes! didn’t think anyone else remembered that band!
A fellow Swallow fan? Friends FOREVER!
Nice balance in all three hours Matt. Morrissey- I Know it’s Going to Happen Someday would be sweet.
Have a better than expected week all.
Absolutely wonderful show as always.
In the ident bumper for the show in which she states, “we want your blood”, what is the song that is playing? This has plagued me for a long while and I would be overjoyed to finally put that mystery to rest.
Acid Horse, “No Name No Slogan”
That is what it is, didn’t realize it before. Now all is right in the world. Thank you.
For Gary Numan’s 63rd birthday, even though it’s today, might I please heareth “Crash” from the Dance album which is especially a win since Rogert Taylor of Queen bands the brings on it!!!!
MAKE DARKWAVE A SIRIUS CHANNEL!!!!!
Ride, Slowdive, and Lush. Hard to get much better. Surprised MBV was played in hour one, rather than with those three. No complaints though. I just love to hear them no matter what.
Second half of Hour Two was perfect. Thanks for a great show this week. Have a good one.
Listened to the show a second time cause I dozed off. Did I hear two shoegaze sets? Matt looking forward to next week requesting The Catherine Wheel Delicious or Judy Staring at the Sun. Thank you
Moev Rotting Geraniums
Human League Seconds
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark Joan of Arc
Killing Joke Eighties
Love this show. Always discovering new (old) bands. I have a special request. Can you play ALIEN SEX FIEND – IGNORE THE MACHINE.
Peace from Windsor, Canada
I’m not even going to request anything this week …. just have to say that, at least for me, that may be the most perfect 3 hours of music that is IMPOSSIBLE to hear on radio now or ever …. except you are somehow doing it Matt !!!
Literally ONLY reason to keep my subscription is this show
Much Respect
Constantine
Great show as usual. I know you aren’t opposed to newer music on your show now and then so, in that spirit, could you please play:
Nine Inch Nails – Find My Way
Thanks much.
Kudos for having such a good show–Picked up a subscription to XM because of it. Here’s a few more… and thx for the shout-out. :)

Amazing show as always. Can you play something from Clan of Xymox’s Kindred Spirits album? Maybe Alice, A Forest, Something I Can Never Have, or Red Light. Thanks, Matt!
Thanks for playing Abecedarians and for another great show. Could you please play one of these:
The Damned – Wait for the Blackout

Thanks for playing So What last Sunday. Look forward to your show every week and wish SiriusXM would put more than 2 shows up at a time.
Thanks Matt
Love to hear either Skinny Puppys God Gift maggot and or Danny Elfmans Lobe in the time of Covid.
Thank you!
I’ve heard you play Die Warzau in the past but I don’t recall hearing anything from the album BIGELECTRICMETALBASSFACE.
Any chance you could play “Funkopolis” or “All Cut Up”?
It’s not on any streaming platform and I haven’t heard it in decades! Thanks Matt – always love the show!
