Can you dig up “Hammer Horror” by Kate Bush for next Sunday’s show, in honour of Halloween? Thanx!
Great episode tonight! Looking forward to the Halloween Edition next Sunday, Matt. Fun songs and scary songs!
Got off a ruddy twelve hour shift, ran to my car and immediately turned the radio on. My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult gave way to one of my favorite albums, The ‘Ideal Copy’! Thanks for playing ‘Ahead’, man did I turn it up. So grateful.
Never Stop!
This might have been one of the best episodes all year long. From the Reznor/Murphy to Big Black intro to the final four, I can’t think of a track I wanted to skip past. Awesome show. Thanks for the Martin Dupont as well.
For Halloween, maybe Nick Cave/Badseeds “Up Jumped the Devil” or “Red Right Hand”.
Thanks again. Have a great week.
Nice Mighty Lemon Drops piece in Hour 2
A thematic request for the 31st:
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – The Damned
For next week Halloween edition

Joy Division – Candidate
Bauhaus – Bela Lugosi’s Dead
Sonic Youth – Halloween

Ministry- Everyday Is Halloween
New Order – Everything’s Gone Green

Halloween show has to have The Cure’s Fear Of Ghosts. Wonderful song. 2nd hour tonight was fantastic.
I can only think of two good selections from Japan that could qualify for a Halloween show. Of course, the aptly named “Halloween” from the Quiet Life album or “Ghosts”. Either of those two tracks would be warmly welcomed.
Great show, please play Band of Susan’s “Throne of Blood”
Really outstanding setlist this week. Can’t list them all but 999 Cramps Gun Club, even the Mighty Lemons Drops (who are featured on the Just say Yes Compilations) were all brilliant selections. I was transported in time last night. Thanks.
Matt- Hour 1 was very good but hour 2 was superb!! I’d like to hear 45 Grave Riboflavin or TSOL Code Blue for the Halloween show. Lots of fitting suggestions above.
Matt Thank you so much for playing “ Crowds”

Front 242, “Serial Killers Don’t Kill Their Girlfriend”
Request for this year’s ‘Dark Wave’ Halloween Edition:
Psyche, “Goodbye Horses”
(Covering Q Lazzarus)
Japan “ Ghost “
Please thanks!!!
Great track by Front 242 but that was going to be my track request for this week so instead of that how about Sonic youth: Halloween or Marc Almond: Haunted House
“ Everyday Is Halloween “ (extended) by Ministry thats my request for this Halloween show hope to hear great things of this show i hope its going to be like in the passed when Halloween fell on sunday/ darkwave 1 time in ten years
Ps I mean the 10 hour episode
I would humbly suggest that Skinny Puppy’s “Fritter (Stella’s Home)” is de rigueur for a Halloween episode. Reasonable alternatives would be “Draining Faces,” “The Mourn,” or “God’s Gift (Maggot).”
My personal opinion, probably unpopular, it to recommend avoiding anything with “Halloween” in the title. Seems a bit too “on the nose…”
Oon th
Matt, you outdid yourself last night! Thank you thank you for playing Seefeel and Curve back to back. For the Halloween episode, any of these would be great to hear:
The Damned – Alone Again Or
The Chameleons – Swamp Thing
Love and Rockets – Haunted When The Minutes Drag
Thank you for always keeping it dark!
Thanks for the Curve! Awesome show as always. For Halloween, I propose Bauhaus’s “Party of the First Part”. It’s not the most Bauhaus-y song and it’s probably more about the sample than the music, but it seems fitting for the day. Have a great week!
Another great October DW!
Looking forward to this week’s Halloween show!
Enjoyed your show Matt. I think The Witch from The Cult or Haunted by Gary Numan would work in next weeks line up. Looking forward to next Sunday, have a nice week.
Request for Halloween:
Barnes and Barnes – Cemetery Girls
Black Tape For A Blue Girl: Knock Three Times
Great opener, thanks.
Halloween request: Simple Minds – Today I died again.
“ Dead souls “ by Joy Divison

“ The Jazz Butcher Meets Count Dracula “ by The Jazz Butcher

Thanks!
From the Silence of the Lambs, “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus.

A thematic suggestion: ending the Halloween edition with Severed Heads’ All Saints Day would seem apropos.

Thanks for getting my request in! Looking forward to what you have in store for Halloween.
Outstanding show as always and thank you most graciously for the Thrill Kill Kult. Playing Creep was just the absolute best.
So I’m sure you’re only going to play one Ministry song, and that song will probably be Every Day is Halloween (and that will be great), BUT what if:
Ministry- Tonight We Murder
I wait in eager antici…pation for next week’s show.
So great this week, thanks. Inspired me to wax eloquent to my wife about how Confessions of a Knife should be considered for the ‘perfect albums’ list…
The darkest of dark days approaches, and I look forward to blasting your mix as we give out treats and tricks – Now I’m Feeling Zombified would be my top request, but Katch 22 from the same album would be pretty appropriate too, I think.
