Hey Matt
How about this song? Your thoughts…..
The cure- a night like this sounds so dark
Hour 2 was wonderful. I adore that Lucy Show album. Ephemeral is such a great song. Come Back to the Living is my other favorite. Could you play that in the upcoming weeks?
Another request – Gene Loves Jezebel – Shower Me With Brittle Punches or Bruises. I love both.
Thanks so much!

Matt thank you so much for my birthday request 50 is the new 40 (yeah….). :))) Anyway here are some suggestions for next time:
Violent Femmes – Add it Up
The Normal – Warm Leatherette
The Jesus and Mary Chain – Sidewalking
Mr. S,
Can you play “Rope” by NITZER EBB, a tragically underrated masterpiece from the Showtime album?
Thank you!
Perhaps The Armoury Show—Castles in Spain. I know you’ve played it before, and I wish I could find it to download but none has it. My vinyl is MIA.
One of my favorites!!! I cherish my vinyl cuz I’ve never found it digitally!!
Can you play the Cure’s goth masterpiece Charlotte Sometimes
Not on any album, but a single released between Faith and Pornography, some of it’s lyrics are lifted almost directly from the novel of the same name …. Even the B-side Splintered in her Head is a line from the book
Cool eh?
Constantine
Great show last night.
Any chance you can play Savage Republic- Real Men?
In honor of Summer beginning up in the NW, Rain from Tones on Tail would be great. Thanks Matt
Great show that I actually caught live instead of streaming. In honor of Summer beginning up in the NW, Rain from Tones on Tail would be great. Thanks Matt
I think I gasped, in a good way, when listening to the industrial run in the first hour.
I see some cure & ministry requests already but maybe sometime….from the edge of the deep green sea…..filth pig….
Thank you for Shivers – one of my all time favorites. That song just has that feeling you can’t explain.
Thanks for putting together another great show.
Please play Telegram Sam by Bauhaus.
– Tyberius
I’ve never heard the version of Uncertain Smile you played this week; live it.
Total Devotion-When In Rome
I know this band isn’t the most suited for Darkwave but this song is pretty cool and i would say The The is equally as dark as this song.
I was getting ready to lament the lack of Joy Division and then you played the last song. Thank you for playing JD nearly every week, if not every week. As long as you play JD, I won’t need to make a request.
I backtrack again because last week will disappear soon…fad gadget is the one I will hang on to….hope matthew and darkness awards comes back soon, I miss them
Thanks for the Come Back to the Living : – )
Great show!
