Thanks for playing Front Line Assembly!
Play Black Flag “Three Nights”, and I’ll release the bats.
No, just kidding, I don’t have the bats. But did you know it China bats are considered good omens? They are said to symbolize the imagination. Plus, they’re delicious, just ask Ozzy.
Thanks again for the Surfers,man! Now, if it’s not too late to make a request, can you please play Faith No More’s “Stripsearch” this Sunday?
Lot’s of covers in this set, nicely done. I hadn’t heard the Jesus and Mary Chain version of Leonard Coen’s Tower of Song, that was a nice surprise.
Yo Matt! Great show as always man! Like to request The YoYo Man – Echo and The Bunnymen.
