Can you dig up “Fluffy Tufts” by Cocteau Twins for next Sunday’s show? Thanx!
My wife Tina’s Bday is September 11th. May I request
This Mortal Coil – Song To The Siren
Or
Sugarcubes – Birthday
Thanks Augie
Hey Matt, can I request the song Turn to Stone by The Grin,
Thank you
Nice radio show. Request/suggest:
Wet “That’s The Game”
(original vocal version)
Cool Belgian dance floor gem.
That was quite a playlist you set up this week. Starting off with God‘s will be gods was brilliant.
Hard to pick a favorite hour, all were balanced.
Here are some requests –
Siouxsie and The Banshees – Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)
Gary Numan – Observer
Thanks!
What a perfect Bunnymen deep cut to kick off the show, just brilliant Matt.
And thanks for playing that awesome Wedding Present cover, got me in the mood for some Twin Peaks! Maybe Dalliance off Seamonsters on a future show?
Cheers,
Nathan
Great show! The website seems to be working now, just loads very slowly. Hopefully it holds up. My request for next weeks Dark Wave episode is “Nightfall” by The Cassandra Complex. Thanks Matt!
Hi Matt,
“Persuasion” by Soft Cell would be a welcome addition to the darker side of grocery shopping. ✔️
Loved last week’s show! Any chance you could play “Monochrome” by Lush this week?
Thanks Matt!
Size 14 episode!
This week’s Darkness Award:
Q Lazzarus, “Goodbye Horses”
Psyche does a fantastic cover of this song. Hopefully it gets played on this show someday.
The version of “Goodbye Horses” by Psyche that I am referring to is the 21st Century Duke ‘TM’ Extended Mix.
Hi Matt!
Your show is the best way to wind up a weekend. My girlfriend and I have been enjoying it for a while now. I’d like to request a couple songs for your next show: Tormenter by Skinny Puppy off Too Dark Park and Prove You Wrong by Prong.
Thank you!
Great episode this week. I was so happy you played Stabbing Westward a couple weeks ago. They do a great cover of ‘Burn’, ‘Everyday is Halloween’ and ‘The Killing Moon.’ I’d love to hear one of those on an upcoming episode.
Great show. I love the cover of “Falling” from the Twin Peaks soundtrack.
Request for next week.
Coil- Nasa Arab(Stole and Contaminated Songs)
Thanks
Hello,
Is it possible if you could play Prick – Animal. The band is from Nothing Reecords (Trent Reznor)
