Can you dig up “Antenna” by Kraftwerk for next week’s “Dark Wave”? Thanx!
Thank you for the mcl tonight! Goodnight!
Great show tonight, thanks especially for the Fatima Mansions, such an underplayed band.
Anyway, I’d love to hear some Clock DVA, maybe Beautiful Losers or their cover of Black Angels Death Song. And some Shockheaded Peters would be great, too, Mr Very Big maybe, or their fantastic cover of Heartbreak Hotel.
Can you play the chameleons.. don’t fall
I missed the show last night but the playlist looks brilliant. I will definitely catch up via on demand. How about “Faît Accompli” By Curve?
Hour 2: arguably the greatest hour in the esteemed history of Dark Wave.
