Speaking of, if you have the Sisters Of Mercy remix of “Fatherland” by them handy, that’s a barnburner & would be great to hear next week!!!!
Great show, as always! Loved hearing the Lena Lovich gem. It reminded me of another Lena Lovich song from 1986 that I haven’t heard in forever. One she did with Nina Hagen called “Don’t Kill The Animals”. Would be great to hear that on an upcoming Dark Wave episode. Or if you don’t have that, how about “Is There An Exit?” by Absolute Body control. Thanks Matt!
Loved the set, Matt! Thanks for “Pop Tarantula”.
How about “Talk About the Past” by The Wake for next week?
Interferon „Get out of London“
My 80ties song
For next week, the Church – Hounds of Love cover?

Matt. Awesome show and loved hour 1 and 3 was close 2nd. I have a cassette mixed tape from 1987ish with a song called “Sitting Around my Place” from Radiohead but it’s not the Thom Yorke Radiohead I don’t believe. Is this a song or band you’re familiar with? I believe I bought the single from Zed Records in Long Beach back in the day but not exactly sure where it came form. If you can find it please play it.
Awesome show :D Love to request
