Clan of Xymox getting postponed yet another year is a little unfortunate, but the song request was not. Great show tonight as always. The Cathrine Wheel was a good choice. Thank you for the Daniel Ash. Could we hear:
Cure- Six Different Ways
Please and thank you as always. You make a lot of folks Sunday nights.
Can you PLEASE play “Happy Lovers at Last United” by Morrissey for next Sunday’s show?! Thanx!
I got the connection to The Cure from “Swimming Horses“ by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Therefore, would it be plausible to play “Six Different Ways” by The Cure? Great show as usual!
Really great show tonight, Matt!
My favorite show, not just when observing my footwear! May I request “Solitude” by The Changelings off their self-titled debut, please?
The Cramps – Cornfed Dames
Great show as always! Just thinking of great tunes that haven’t heard on the show yet….that’d be cool to hear:
• Fred A / Ik En Mizelf
• Fini Tribe / Electrolux
• He Said / Pump
Haven’t requested songs in a while but I’ve still been keeping up with the shows and their respective playlists. Some of the songs I’d like to request may not count as dark wave so I’ll let you be the judge of that.
Shunt – Recoil
The American – Simple Minds
Swing – Japan
We Love You – Psychedelic Furs
Have a great week as always!
Thank you Matt!
I look forward to your show every week, catching what I can live and carefully listening until I get a refill the following Sunday.
Like a great book you don’t want to finish.
Never Stop!
This was a fantastic show, Matt! Especially loved that one-two punch near the end, with some of my favorite songs from Ghost Dance and Alien Sex Fiend!
Was wondering if you’d be willing to play “Isolation” by Neon for next Sunday’s show. Anyways, that’s my request, thanks!
Great Show Matt!
How about
Debaser by the Pixies
And/Or
Head On by The Jesus and Mary Chain
Always a super show Matt when Catherine Wheel is played. That said, hour 3!
How about “Peaches” by The Stranglers?
I only caught bits and pieces of the show and it’s not showing up on the app. Hopefully it will show up! Judging by the playlist it was another stellar program!!!
Some possible suggestions for next week:
Jane’s Addiction – Classic Girl
The Stranglers – Skin Deep
Pixies – Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)
Also missing the episode on the Ap. Hoping they will load it after the holiday is over. Playlist looks great.
For next week, could I request Monochrome Set “Killing Dave” please?
Hope you have a great week. Thanks.
Garlands- cocteau twins
Thanks for playing the Coil track. I wanted to request a track from a band with a similar name. The Alan Wilder side project and collaboration with Douglas McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb.
Recoil-Faith Healer
Thanks
Great show again Matt!
For next week, would you be able to play anything from Diane Birch’s Velveteen Age EP where she reworks the stuff her parents played in the house when she was growing up?
Strange Kind of Love is my favorite, but there’s Atmosphere, This Corrosion, Dancing Horses.Kiss them For Me, Primary and Tarantula as well.
Thanks!
Any of the following?
New Model Army: White Coats or 225
Chameleons: Soul in Isolation
Are Waterboys “dark wave” worthy? Maybe A Pagan Place?
Have a great week!
Hi Matt, can we hear Ultravox – Hiroshima Mon Amour in the near future? Thanks!
Thanks for the play.
Thanks for the music!
I look forward to this show all week! Thanks for playing my Skinny Puppy request a few weeks ago!

The Cure- Primary
Tear Garden- In Search of my Rose or Ophelia or Romulus and Venus (or any song you like)

Liebach- any song!
Thanks!

Here are some requests –
