Hi Matt, Excellent show tonight! Could you please play
MCL – New York for next Sunday?
Can you dig up “No Time To Cry” by the Sisters of Mercy for next Sunday’s “Dark Wave”? Thanx!
I had never heard the Rozz William cover of 10CC. That was great. Thanks for that and a great show.
For next week could I request either
The March Violets “Lights Go Out” or
Mary Go Round “The Eagle”
Thanks. Have a great week.
A winner as always. Anything from Pretty Hate Machine is a trip down memory lane.
Could you play a recommended The Merry Thoughts track? Please and thank you.
Thanks Matt for another great show. Got to experience some new and really good bands tonight.
Wow! That was such a great show tonight! Thank you so so much for playing Total Recall by the Sound! Made my week!!! Such an amazing song. I was also excited to hear This Mortal Coil! Such a talented group. Thank you for playing them! I liked hearing Villers Terrace by Echo and Sinking by The Cure as well! Also, The Passion of Lovers was an excellent choice for the last song!
To request for next week: it’d be awesome to hear The Kill by Joy Division:) Incredible song!
Thanks again! I’m always looking forward to Sunday night dark wave! Have a great week!
Cranes – Tomorrow’s Tears is surely in order.
Test Dept—New World Order
The Church- The Disillusionist from Priest
=Aura album. Deep track but great for dark wave!
Thanks for “Praying To The Aliens” by Tubeway Army, that song doesn’t get the love it should! How about “Cocaine Jesus” by Sister Machine Gun next show? Unless….you can gank one of the new Gary Numan songs that have already been released from “Intruder” which comes out May 21st! Also, never heard that Rozz song before
What a banger of a show! I’d love to hear some of the following in an upcoming show (or two)
Renegade Soundwave – Blue-Eyed Boy
Trisomie 21 – Another Move
Colin Newman – Order for Order
The Essence – In Tears
For Against – Eschelons
Minimal Compact – Next One Is Real
Another excellent show this week, always stoked when I hear any songs from Pretty Hate Machine!
Request:
The Smiths – “Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me”
Hello Matt,
In honor of Anita Lane’s passing last week, could we hear Anita Lane & Nick Cave – I love You Nor Do I
Great show!
Here are some DW requests –
Executive Slacks – Smoking Man
The Gun Club – Brother and Sister
Thanks!
Enjoyed the last three songs Matt. I’s like to hear Motorhead- R A M O N E S
Have a great week all.
Rick, Vyvyan, Neil, and Mike thought it was a damn good episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
The Damned, “Nasty”
“You’re not so safe
In the safety of your room”
The only reason SiriusXM gets my dough is because of Matt Sebastian, true story plain and simple.
Before they went straight-up John Hughes, the first three albums by OMD need to be heard before anyone dies.
Could you play ‘2nd Thought’, ‘Navigation’ or ‘Romance of the Telescope’?
Never Stop Matt and VIVA the Sugarcubes!!
Awesome show!!
If possible would love to hear Simple Minds – New Gold Dream 81,82,83,84.
Stay safe!
Yay, thanks for the Ultravox and another great show!
siouxsie and the banshees “Happy House”
Outstanding playlist! Anytime you can put A cut from pretty hate machine, Plus the mission, Cocteau twins, house of love, tube way army and Siouxsie Have yourself one hell of a great show
Matt, thanks for playing my “Damned” request.
All the sets this week had a nice flow to them. Outstanding, as always.
For next week, please consider:
P.I.L. – Tie Me to the Length of That
45 Grave – Insurance From God
Loved hearing that MBM track come up (though i’m an even bigger fan of the delicious breakbeats in Version 1). How about some Acid Horse in a future episode?
thanks, love the show – so many great memories arise
