Great show as always! Kudos on the obscure Banshees selections. Can you please play Butthole Surfers’ “Cherub” next week? I could use something wierd and wacky. Thanks!
Great show!
Thanks for playing my request, Matt.

this show kept me company on a long, dark road trip last night. absolutely love the aesthetic. could we get some vintage chris connelly next week (something from whiplash boychild) or maybe some ptp “rubber glove seduction”?
Matt, thanks for the Magazine and Caberet Voltaire requests. You’re awesome. Yeah, Killing Joke “Love Like Blood” (or anything off Night Time for that matter) still hits the sweet spot. Nice Siouxsie tribute selections. Can’t wait for surprises in store for next week!
