Can you dig up “White Love (Radio Mix)” by One Dove for next Sunday’s show? Thanx!
My request for next week is Micro Chip League – New York
Great show tonight!
Your show is always one of the highlights of my week! I’d like to request “Poledo” by Dinosaur Jr. Thank you!
Great show as always! Birthday dedication for myself for Sunday so how about Black Celebration from Depeche Mode
I like this suggestion!
Great set, Matt. Thanks for Section 25.
Can you play “Of Lilies and Remains” by Bauhaus for me next week?
Keep up the great work!
Beat Happening “Our Secret”. 1st time I heard this song was on Dark Wave a few yrs ago. I haven’t heard them on Sirius XM since or anywhere else until I was watching “Reservation Dogs” on AMC.
Great show again tonight Matt! Loved hearing the classic NIN. I was actually going to request something off the Pretty Hate Machine album, but you beat me to it. So instead, I’d like to request “Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead” by Assemblage 23, please. Thanks much!
Awesome show! Would enjoy some Einstürzende Neubauten, possibly Fuerio if you have it. Thanks!!
Thanks for the Wipers and Rash of Stabbings cuts. Those plus the Sound, Stiff Little Fingers, and that industrial block at the end made Hour 2 the winner for me this week.
Not sure if Bill Pritchard is entirely acceptable, but if so would like to request either “Better to Be Bitter” or “Black Souls Under White Skies” on a future episode please.
Love the show. Thanks for doing it. Have a great week.
That was quite a set list, Matt. A really nice variety of songs. Anything off Pretty Hate Machine and Juju are going to be winners.
Don’t have a specific request but could you play anything from Danielle Dax. Literally anything, you pick. Thanks.
Hi Matt! Another stellar playlist! A lot of variety! Thank you for the DM. ◉‿◉
Some possible suggestions for next time:
PWEI/NIN – Wise Up, Sucker
Jesus and Mary Chain – Something I Cant Have
Skinny Puppy – Tin Omen
The Killers – Shadowplay
<3 shoegaze set <3
How about some Diamanda Galas?
Haven’t posted on here in a long while but I’ve nevertheless been tuning in and keeping up with playlists. Each week has been phenomenal! Am always finding something new to listen to because of this show. So thanks for that! Loved hearing the tracks from John Foxx, Depeche Mode, the Damned, Kate Bush, and Joy Division.
Would love to hear either “Miss the Girl” or “Right Now” from the Creatures on a future show. Thanks a lot!
Enjoyed the punk block!
Here are some requests –
Galaxie 500 – Ceremony
The Cult – Hollow Man
Thanks!
Can I request a shoegaze remake of a psychedelic classic:
Some Velvet Morning by Slowdive
Constantine
Great show, Matt! Thanks for playing Atmosphere by Joy Division on Sunday night.
May I request
Waves Become Wings – This Mortal Coil
Wonderful episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
The Smiths, “Well I Wonder”
“Do you see me when we pass?”
How about some blind mr jones, spooky vibes
Great show as always Matt!
Cheers,
Nathan
Hey Matt,
Wondering if you can only play what’s available to stream or do you dig into your own collections? Anyhow, I was wondering if you had anything from Intermix, the side project of Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber.
Thanks
Not sure if this is on the rotation but would like to hear Alphaville – Big In Japan for my daughter who is on a plane moving to Japan as this show airs. Thanks!
Great set of bands that I never heard before! (Stiff Little Fingers, Penetration, The Nuns, Wipers, etc.)
How about “New Toy” by Lene Lovich sometime?
Great set this week, Matt!
Below are my requests for…whenever
Prayers for Rain by The Cure
Night Shift by Siouxsie & the banshees
More by Sisters of Mercy
I would like to request Coitus Interruptus by Fad Gadget.
