I had forgotten about Machines of Loving Grace. Thanks for the reminder. And great cut from Switchblade Symphony. Thanks for a great show. Have a good week.
Can you dig up “Suckling the Mender” by Cocteau Twins for next week’s Dark Wave? Thanx!
Absolute knock out again. Any night you play Sister’s of Mercy, probably going to be a top notch night. Misfits? That was awesome. And thank you for the SSQ. I don’t know if you’ve played it recently, so if you have, great choice. But if not:
Clan of Xymox- No Words
Please and thank you.
Thank you for the Lead into gold tonight! I loved Gutter Glitter by switchblade Symphony!
Request for:
Skrew-Picasso Trigger
Samhain-archangel
That was quite a playlist. Quite a variety of cover versions you threw in.
Excellent picks as always! Some suggestions for next week:
Rites of Spring – For Want Of
Rapeman – Trouser Minnow
Sol Invictus – In the Rain
Thanks for another great show.
For next week, please consider:
T.S.O.L. – Blackmagic
Ride – Seagull
The Damned – Nasty
The Stone Roses – I Wanna Be Adored
Listening to this show is the best way to start my week! Could you play:
Skeletal Family – She Cries Alone
Request for Stabbing Westward “Ungod”
Big fan from Chicago! Could you please play Dead Can Dance’s “Saltarello”? Thank you!
Thank you so so much for playing my request for Tears by the Chameleons! It was an awesome show tonight! I was very excited to hear Shadowplay by JD! I’m always introduced to something great on your show so thanks again!
Maybe for next week, it’d be really nice to hear Total Recall or possibly I Can’t Escape Myself by The Sound.
Thank you so much again and have a great week!
That was absolutely NOT the live “101” version of Black Celebration.
Thanks for playing “Suffer Little Children” by the Smiths! That is my favorite song of their debut. How about “Meat is Murder” (or Hamburger Homicide by the Snuffs) for next week?
Bitchin’ episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
The Misfits, “Where Eagles Dare”
“You better think about it GRAVY!”
Joy Division’s Decades. A great song!!!!
Still holding out for “Rage in Eden,” but in the meanwhile how about:
Keith LeBlanc’s or Ministry’s version of “Move”
The Assembly “Never Never”
Pictures of Matchstick Men – Camper van Beethoven
This was an awesome show, loved hearing The Misfits, and all the industrial picks were perfect! Looking forward to next weeks playlist!
Request: Killing Joke – “I Am The Virus”
Great show as usual. Can you play Shriekback – Black Light Trap sometime. Thanks
Each hour had the right amount of dark wave mixes!
Looking forward to this week’s episode!
Hello Matt,
In honor of Anita Lane’s passing today, could we hear Anita Lane & Nick Cave – I love You Nor Do I
I’d love to hear Jennifer’s Veil by The Birthday Party (for obvious reasons).
Thank you for playing my requests!
He’s slowly slipping into the slime
Can’t inject into his veins
Blood and guff ooze out and stain…
