Another enjoyable evening of dark music–and last week as well. Excellent kick-off with PIL “Flowers of Romance”. Is it me or was the drum rhythm eerily repeated in Danielle Dax “Bed Caves”? (Really liked Galaxie 500’s cover of the New Order song “Ceremony”.) Always discovering great songs and bands new to me each and every week. Which brings me to next week’s request from a band I first heard listening to this show. Abecedarians “Soil”. Thanks.
Thanks for playing Foetus last week, can I request sometime else for you play? Can you please play sometime by (the)Swans? Preferably the song Cop but any song by them would be great. Thanks in advance.
