Wax Trax! Thrill Kill Kult is the best, but what do I know? Why Do Men Have Nipples? Damnit I liked it. Cold Life is always a cool choice. And yes, I will catch that Daniel Ash episode. Speaking of, could we hear:
Love and Rockets- It Could Be Sunshine
Please and thank you as always for these lovely Sunday evenings.
Joy Divison. YES!
Great show. Got to go with Hour 1, although that Microdisney to House of Love block at the end of 2 made it a tough call.
Would like to ask for some Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry please. “Happy to See Me” or “Spinning ROund (12” Crash Mix), or dealer’s choice.
Thanks and have a good week.
Great episode tonight, Matt! Goodnight!
Flock of seagulls “Nightmares”
I appreciate every time you play NMA. It takes me back to 1986 and the New Music Seminar when I was a very young college radio PD who had just discovered this amazing band. My two friends from the station were aboard the now infamous “Capitol Punishment” boat (Capitol Records ferry around NYC) that ran out of food and drinks. One of these friends went on to help fashion SXSW into its more enduring cousin.
It was the best of times, so thanks.
Since next Sunday is Mother’s Day, this request is from my mother which happens to be “Six Different Ways” by The Cure
Ah yes, mother’s day..perhaps Bryan Ferry’s Mother of Pearl
Adam & The Ants – Beat My Guest
Hi Matt
Last September I lost my mother … and of course Mother’s Day will never be the same for me
I know Robert Smith has the song “It Will Never Be The Same” as a tribute to his passed mother
Be it that next Sunday is Mother’s Day and that we all here celebrate the darker, and emotional side of 80’s alternative music and bands
Is there any way you can play this on Mother’s Day for those of us who have lost our mothers as a tribute ?
Constantine
“Alice” by Red Temple Spirits
PIXIES–Nimrod’s Son would be my request for a mother’s day dark wave.
I absolutely loved the show last night. It brought back so many memories, not all of them good, but, hey, that’s life. Sometimes it sucks, but it helps to remember why, to take a deep breath, and change the narrative.
Kindly,
Char
Matt–
I too lost my mom … a few weeks after Mother’s Day in 2019 (she passed on May 31st). It is a very hard day for me.
Can I please request Somebody by Depeche Mode? It is my most special song/memory of her.
Thanks a bunch for all that you do. xo
Kate Bush – Mother Stands for Comfort
I second this Kate Bush request!
Also, maybe, just maybe?
Shriekback – Black Light Trap
Really enjoying the shows.
How about some In The Nursery ?
Thanks!
J.J.
This playlist looks great. I’m going to save it for the long drive I’m making Wednesday.
Sorry for everyone who has lost their Mother. I hope some music can bring back pleasant thoughts of her.
For next week can I request
Chrome-In A Dream
11/26/1938 to 4/28/2022 In loving memory of my Father. I know I recently requested The Song YOS by Mission UK. Could I request again for the song esp now has so much meaning. Love you Dad.
Thank you Dave Cross.
Enjoying the show. Can I request some In The Nursery?
Thanks J.J.
Another good show!
I’d love to hear A Place To Bury Strangers. Either Worship or So Far Away would be wonderful.
New Model Army are my all time favorite, and The Charge is a real scorcher. So much good music from Justin Sullivan and the crew. I hope to see them live at least once more, if they can make it back to the USA.
Great episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Revolting Cocks, “At the Top”
One of greatest songs ever made and to this day I am still unable to find a copy of the lyrics.
