Playlist: Sirius XM’s ‘Dark Wave,’ 4/18/10

Judging by tonight’s playlist, “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s classic alternative outlet 1st Wave continues to improve — and by “improve,” we mean “not playing the same songs every week.” Tonight’s episode mixed in some rare(ish) appearances by My Bloody Valentine, KMFDM and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult with lesser-aired tracks from big names like Love and Rockets (“No Big Deal”), The Cure (Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me’s “One More Time”), Kate Bush (“Cloudbusting”) and Depeche Mode (“Any Second Now” off Speak & Spell).

“Dark Wave” airs each Sunday from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Eastern/7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Pacific.
