You played Rip It UP. That is so unbelievably cool. Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? You played a sexy game tonight Mr. Sebastian. You played it. You played Goodbye Horses. Night Shift was the song I requested the weekend my daughter was born. Thanks for the memory trips tonight.
Could we hear:
The March Violets- Turn To the Sky
Please and thank you for this weekly communion. You’ve done 2022 well.
Can you dig up Kate Bush’s “Wow” in honour of Valentine’s Day weekend for next Sunday’s show? Thanx!
Great show tonight! The second hour was my favorite tonight.
Thanks for the Little Nemo. Show killed it tonight. Especially that opening set and the shoegaze-y block. Haven’t finished the show, but were you out tonight? Don’t recall hearing you.
Since next week is Valentine’s Day, would like to request either
Lords of Acid “Stoned on Love Again”
or
X “True Love Pt. 2”
Thanks as usual. Have a good week.
There was some kind of technical mishap. Got fixed toward the end of the show. But I’m told the talking parts have all been re-inserted into the On Demand version of the show that’s now streaming, for anyone who feels like they missed out on needless DJ chatter between songs.
Great show tonight! Loved the shoegaze and industrial blocks. For next week can we hear “Lovers” by Specimen for Valentine’s Day? Thanks!
Matt …. Thank You for playing my Curve request tonight. Really fun show tonight. Not as much banter from you tonight compared to other Dark Wave episodes. Take care.
The cure – the kiss
Great to see the Fatima Mansions getting some airplay
Hour 3 Matt was top shelf material.
Walk into the Fire by Peter Gabriel.
That was quite a playlist this week I think you outdid yourself.
Glad to see Bolshoi thrown in, I am a fan of that band and they kind of get overlooked in the general scheme of things. Thanks!

Hi Matt,
I’ll make another run at this, inside the deadline this time. I’d like to hear Get It On from the Woodentops. The songs from Giant take me back to the old days.
“Realize’ by ECO, plesz!!!
I like how you used “Judy’s World” as part of the wind down. Thanks for playing it!
Imaginative episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Sad Lovers and Giants, “Imagination”
Great show closer as well.
Request please – “Broken Days” by Lycia. Epitome of February to me.
Miles too late as ever. Any chance of sneaking in Cayman by Mira (projekt records) in honor of my cats for Valentine’s Day? thanks!
Keep up the great work! We look forward to listening to these DW playlists every week!
I’ve gotten hooked on your show recently. There’s not many places to hear this music and it brings back a lot of great memories. I realize I’m late for requests this week so I’ll try to get some in for next week but with Valentines Day coming up I wanted to go ahead and throw this one out, and I haven’t heard you play anything from this band.
Greater Than One – Why Do Men Have Nipples?
Thanks for the great music!
