Can you dig up “Late Night, Maudlin Street” by Morrissey for next Sun’s show? Thanx!
Hey Matt!! GRAND SLAM from the first too the final track tonight!! I’m LOVING the SHOEGAZE sets!!! As well as the Goth and industrial. Could U play Us faithful religious followers something from the March Violet’s next Sunday for our weekly communion??
Thanks Matt
Tony
Loved your last Cure comment, and absolutely adore that final song. Enjoy your 4th!!!
Mega tanks for Numan & Go4! That is one freeeaky remake!!!! Along w/ Curve, Skinny Puppy, Kraftwerk, Young Guns, John Foxx, et al!!!
Speaking of freaky, how about “Mad Daddy Drives a U.F.O.” by the titans Alien Sex Fiend for the next communion with darkness!?!!
I agree with Tony. Great show tonight. Shoegaze set killed it. Japan. Dif Juz. One of my favorite Nitzer Ebb cuts. Thanks.
Maybe next week Concrete Blonde “The Sky is a Poisonous Garden”.
Thanks and have a great week.
I see that pairing of the Cocteau Twins and Gun Club, and think of ‘Mother Juno’. Robin Guthrie produced that Gun Club record in Berlin. Is that dark enough for everyone?
Great July 4th episode! Some suggestions for next week:
No Trend – Teen Love
Vita Noctis – Hade
Mighty Sphincter – Waltz in Hell
I’ve really got to thank you for playing TWO of my requests. That really made my night. This show never fails to deliver great songs. Keep it up. :)
Not a typical “Dark Wave” band but could you play Tears For Fears “Watch Me Bleed” I think it fits the genre
Great setlist Matt !!
Can you play Swirlies “Didn’t Understand” next week please
Thanks
Great to hear Gun Club.
Thank you for making this old lady happy by playing music of her youth. If it’s not too punk, I’d love to hear anything by Minor Threat and/or Agent Orange. :)
I missed last night’s darkwave and am playing it back now. Great episode last night!
Hi Matt! This show made our 4th of July party….I would love to hear Deadly Sins by the Virgin Prunes next weekend!
They might be giants, snowball in hell, nuff said
One of the best shows, start to finish, that I can remember. Thank you for the perfect ending to our 4th.
For next week, could you please play some 45 Grave or Christian Death?
Thanks
Hi Matt,
I’ve been a big fan of the show for years. Would it be possible for you to play Sean Connery by James Dean Driving Experience on next week’s Darkwave?
Thank you
He said it was a good episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
He Said, “A.B.C. Dicks Love”
Request for future show:
The Electric Hellfire Club, “Prodigal Son”
Good stuff once again!
Here are some requests –
Crime and The City Solution – Hunter
Lush – Leaves Me Cold
Thanks!
can you please play Gary Numan “a subway called you” from Dance. than you!
Thank you for playing The Stranglers!
Love your show so much! I saved hour three for the rec center tomorrow. We are SO LUCKY to have you Matt. Never Stop!
Amphetamine Logic is always a great choice. You never disappoint. May I request:
Skeletal Family- Far and Near
Please and thank you.
Mystified by the lack of a fulfilled request for Revolting Cocks’ Revolting Cock Au Lait, nevertheless he persisted.
The shoe gaze sets have killed many great shows, still won’t stop listening.
I was inspired by your Young Gods and Killing Joke picks, how about:
Young Gods – Envoye
Killing Joke – Millennium
Or the great Throbbing Gristle – Something Came Over Me
Could you play some Das Ich in a future show?
A little late to the party this week. I second the request for Watch Me Bleed.
Agent orange would be great! Breakdown is my favorite, Bloodstains of course. Living in Darkness is one of the albums of my youth.
First, thank you SiriusXM and Dark Wave.
Below is not a list of requests by any means. Just an appreciation. Mostly at times at Revival and Asylum in Philly.
