Good to hear Flesh for Lulu. Love that whole album.
Just got access to the SiriusXM and FINALLY got to hear part of this show. Hmmm, Al J, Ministry, RevCo and Pailhead songs… why no Lard? Looks like someone’s as into those guys as I am. :) Really only caught the last hour, but it’s all great. Thank you.
Thanks! And I do play Lard, just not every week. Think I last played them 2 shows ago or so…
Sadly I only heard the last hour. I believe the Cocteau Twins to the Fall set was played twice??. Anyhow I enjoyed the double dose of SOM’s Vision Thing. Great jam! Wish it was long as Safety Dance on Sat. Very addictive show. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I’m not sure what happened with the repeated segment. I’ve been traveling, so this show was put together early…
Love and Rockets, Lucifer Sam … my favorite L&R song ! And Take One by Front 242 ? NICE !
