This week’s playlist gets my vote for the best of 2014 to date. Nice mix of some classic material. Even Kate Bush sounded good to me. And with 15 minutes to go Matt crams in Ministry, Lords of the New Church, and Caberet Voltaire. Hell, yeah! Now the requests for next week– Please play:
“The Light Pours Out of Me” (you pick the version) & “Sensoria” (12″) Caberet Voltaire.
Thanks as always.
Thank you!
Great show, Matt!!

And thank you as well!
Great show, I missed most of it Sunday (I caught it right after you played Shriekback,) but I was able to listen to it online. Love that.
Will you play Black Flag “Three Nights” or “Nothing Left Inside” off of thier My War album? I’m more curious to see if you’ll do it than desirous to hear the song, although they’re good songs.
Addendum: “Three Nights” is the better of the two songs I mentioned in the above post, in my opinion. Also, how is “I Like a Man In Uniform” dark? Just wondering. I like the show, and I listen every week.
