Great to hear MBV. I got to see Slowdive several weeks ago and then heard Ride will be touring. If you get a chance please play Slowdive “Machine Gun” and “Vapior Trial” by Ride next week. A little late in time but given you went to MBV it works.

Since Dark Wave is about the only show the explores new things, how about some German 80’s New Wave?
Deja Vu by Spliff from the album 85555.
Spliff was originally Nina Hagen’s band before they went on their own.
Here is a youtube link to the song.
