You can never go wrong opening with the Sisters. Thank you for the gift of making me aware of that Dave Gahan album. I’m sure you’re already aware, but Hyper Worm Tamer- UNKLE remix is a great listen too. Didn’t know this was an option, but wow. Thank you for the Tones on Tail. Could we hear:

Shadowplay as the last. Awesome!
Can you dig up “Airwaves” by Kraftwerk for nxt Sunday’s (and, the 1st of ’22!) show? Thanx!
Great last episode for the year!

Thanks for all the great shows this year.
Can we get “wateR” by ohGr into the mix next week?
And perhaps “Makebelieve” by Prick?
Yes, anything by Prick would be great!

1 Tame[peel] – The Pixies
2 Perdi Mi Ojo de Venado – The Caifanes
3 Anything could happen – The Clean
4 Mother Earth – The Gun Club

The Frazier Chorus cover of Anarchy in the UK is superb, and I would argue fits the format. If not then A Split Second—Crimewave. The strongest song off that album despite not being the single.
Can you add David Bowies “I’m deranged” to next week
Hi, if possible, “Anemone”, by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, thanks.
please please play “Frontier” by Dead Can Dance

Happy New Year!
Outstanding set list. Oh, FYI, it is pronounced “Clock ‘dvah’ “ not “clock D-V-A”. Dva is the Russian word for two abs they took it from the “nadsat” from a clockwork orange. Thought you’d like to know.
MIZAR – HODEN ZE . MIZAR – DOZDOT.
Hello from Croatia . More great songs : Cocteau Twins – Pearly Dewdrops Drops , Laibach – Across The Universe , Laibach – Opus Dei , Mizar – Devojka od bronza…
If possible, was wondering if you could dedicate a song to a Lindsey in Idaho
