Will you please play one of your favorite tracks by Nina Hagen before the year is out? Great show as always!
Gotta agree about Crime and City’s cover of “People are Strange”. Thanks for playing. Also good calls on Jazz Butcher, Gun Club, and The Cure.

P.S., Happy Halloween!
Loved Bauhaus Bela Lugosi’s Dead! I was working out at the time. Exactly how long was that version? I want to find it for my mix.
One of these Halloweens I’d love to hear the Violent Femmes’ Country Death Song
Horrific episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
The Bollock Brothers, “Horror Movies”
Can I please hear Psychological Problems by Gene Loves Jezebel next week? Thanks for all you do!
A lot of us have to move “The Big Hand” back one hour on our clocks this coming Sunday …. Can I request it by The Cure please ?
Constantine
Because I completely whiffed last week, forgetting that this last Sunday was Halloween themed, could I punt my request for New Model Army 227 to the upcoming show?
And I’ll be streaming last night’s during trick-or-treating at my house tonight.
Brilliant set! “Ghosts” (one of my all-time favorites) was an especially inspired choice. And of course, “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” is pretty much mandatory. I just watched “Dracula” (with the man himself) for the first time the night prior, actually.
Happy Halloween everyone!
Matt, could you play
The Orb-Little Fluffy Clouds
Thanks
Next week can I hear “ Goodbye Horses” or “ White Lines “ by Q Lazzarus
Thanks for Ghosts by Japan
Veteran’s Day is coming up Nov. 11. In recognition, please play Stan Ridgeway’s Camouflage. We haven’t heard that in a long time.
Great Halloween DW!
Here are some requests –
Morrissey – November Spawned a Monster
The Church – A New Season
Thanks!
Appreciate the FEAR Matt. Sounded so good on a Sunday Night! I can’t pick a winner hour this week…All three hours were absolutely amazing. Happy Halloween!
The Wedding Present – You’re Dead
Super spooky playlist Matt – it totally slayed (pun intended)!!!!
How about some shoegaze next week? Some possible suggestions for next time:
Pale Saints – Sight of You
Slowdive – Spanish Air
Lush – Monochrome
Thanks as always!!! ｡◕‿◕｡
Loved the show! I especially loved hearing Pretty Girls Make Graves, as it is my favorite Smiths song. Could you possibly play Saraband by Corpus Delicti?
This was one of the best shows in some time.
Super spooky awesome show Matt! I couldn’t help but chuckle when you mentioned your feelings about Echo & The Bunnymen’s People are Strange cover. My 12yo son says it’s their only bad song. Thanks for playing that Crime and the City Solution, good stuff. Really dug the Bad Seeds, Birthday Party and Jazz Butcher cuts.
Tina there has some great shoegaze suggestions if you’re feeling like a shoegaze block next Sunday. Here’s one more: In A Cave – Kitchens of Distinction.
Cheers!
great show Sunday!
probably too late to make a request that’d make it in, but with the passing of Jerry Lee Lewis fresh in mind, the live version of Kerosene from Pig Pile comes to mind!
Corpus Delicti – Twilight. Goth as fuk!!!!
Please play a cut inside or vendetta x from the new Cult album (or any track really) it’s an amazing album and a return of sorts to their beginning.
Excellent Halloween show! I do my running to your show, picks up my pace. How about Siouxie and the Banshees Night shift or Ultra Vox Lament this Sunday. thx
