Floored. Great show. This really helps working late on Sunday evenings. Opening riff of “A Means to an End” gets me every time.
best night i’ve ever seen!
Thanks Matt for playing my Fad Gadget request! Great show!
Is it too early to request solo Kilbey for next week?
Can you play something by Executive Slacks? (i think Dark Wave would like “Say it isn’t So” or even “Solemn Dilemma”)… when i was listening to Cabaret Voltaire and Skinny Puppy’s “Dig It” — I could hear that these guys from Philadelphia (!) were surely paving the way for folks like NiN and Ministry, in hind sight.
Danceable too.
