Awesome show tonight!

Thanks very much for the Pesteg Dred. Great show, especially the Japan and Alien Sex Fiend cuts.
Would like to request something from Jello Biafra/Adrian Boland’s side project The Witch Trials. Either ‘Meat Beat’ or ‘Humanoids from the Deep’.
Thanks again for doing the show. Have a great week.
Nice one, dug the Pesteg Dred/ SS-Say, not familiar with them at all.

Deadly episode!
This week’s Darkness Award:
The Smiths, “The Queen is Dead”
Request for future show:
Echo & The Bunnymen, “The Cutter”
I’ve read your posts in the past and I have to say you are right this weekend. I listen to the live feed in my car and let me tell you it was great hearing Andy Rourke’s bass lines rattling through my subwoofer in my car and disturning the neighhborhood for once. lol. Have a great week Matthew, and I hope to your request on next week’s show. Although honestly I would’ve requested the Back of Love but The Cutter is the shit too as well.
Thanks for the Joy Division Matt. I’m in the midst of moving rn so I have a couple of requests that are personally relevant to me rn.
Japan – “Burning Bridges”
Ministry – “Say You’re Sorry”
Great show, Matt!
Here are some possible DW requests –
Cocteau Twins – The Hollow Men
Belfegore – All That I Wanted
Thanks as always!
Any chance you could play “Rigor Mortis” by A Split Second? Thanks!
By no means a “classic”, but I’d love to hear Corporate Sting by Cocksure in the mix. 2015, but sounds like it’s straight out of 1992.
How do you do it!? What would I do without you? Fantastic three hours.
Would love to hear Sorry for Laughing by Propaganda over the radio again. And Sex Unter Wasser by DAF over the air ways too. Just like on WCSB Cleveland State when I was in college.
Matt Please pick one for next week.
The Damned
Antipope
Bad Time for Bonzo
Disco Man
Great show as usual! Thanks for playing, The Smiths, “The Queen is Dead” and Joy Division, Colony” ! Your show was elevated to heavens with those selections!
If you have time, Matt. Could you play Kraftwerk “ Boing Boom Tschak” ? Thanks man
Sorry I’m late with this but what a great set! Lots of energy mixed with haunting songs and great memories. Bought some more music, thanks. Always like Peter Murphy, maybe soon, A Strange Kind of Love.
Thanks, how about Pete Murphy Strange Kind of Love
Matt, thanks again for the anniversary wishes! Hubby was very happy. Stay safe….and looking forward to listening on Sunday!
Happy Anniversary! I heard that song and Matt’s mention on the live feed in my car. I hope you had a nice anniversary and many more to come for decades. It really is a nice song for a wedding dance, I mean you giving me ideas for my future wedding. Have a great week and you and your husband stay safe.
Great show Matt! Thanks as always.
I would love to hear “Red Car” by Trees. Sleep Convention is such an underrated album, and while much of it is more 1st Wave-ish, “Red Car” is definitely the height of dark pop.
Thanks for the show, not sure what I’d do without it. I’d like to request Second Layer, Courts or Wars. Especially with the state of the nation.
what was the mix of clan of xymox’s louise and where can I find it? that’s not the original on medusa.
