My birthday is next weekend! Can you dig up “Pantomime Horses” by the (London) Suede for next Sunday’s show? I saw them live nearly 2 weeks ago and they were kick-ass live! Thanx!!
Hi Matt, Thank you for the Lead into Gold! Fun show tonight!
Can we hear “She Destroys” from Final Cut in a future episode?
Thanks very much for the Blitz. Great show tonight, but Hour 3 killed it. “Devil Bunnies”, anything by John Foxx, and a nice little Industrial set.
Thanks for the good music. Helps start the week off right. Take care.
In all my years of vinyl solitude, you are the first person I’ve come across that knows of Black Tape For A Blue Girl (of which I’ve had on vinyl since the mid 80’s)
Anything by them would be great!
p.s. I’ve meant to address this for some time.
Hi….. (my band) Black Tape For A Blue Girl is still around, and I’ve been re-releasing the early music on vinyl. Four of them are out so far; working on MESMERIZED BY THE SIRENS Kickstarter in February. Cheers, Sam https://blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com/
Hey Matt – Thanks for spinning those 80’s German classics (Propaganda, Xmal Deustchland). Can’t readily pick a fave hour! – all are good. Perhaps the gem “Long Train” by A. Eldritch et al. moves Hour 1 to the top (?)
Speaking of trains – how bout mixing in some Underworld before EOY? (Dark & Long, Dark Train springs to mind, but any of their material would be awesome!)
Happy Holidaze! – JR
All About Eve – Road To Your Soul
Great show, hadn’t had a chance to listen in a while. Some songs to consider for next week:
Folk Devils – Hank Turns Blue
OMD – Electricity
Alien Sex Fiend – Hee Haw (Here Come the Bone People)
I missed it last night but that was a killer setlist. I will absolutely catch up on demand.
Excellent show and vibe going into the DW’s of December.
Here are some requests –
The Comsat Angels – Dark Parade
Gary Numan – Observer
Thanks!
Great set Matt!! Thank you so much for the KMFDM track. It’s been a bummer of a week for me so I feel like these two song suggestions encapsulate the struggle…
Coil – The First Five Minutes After Death
Depeche Mode – Waiting For The Night
Thanks as always! ◉‿◉
Great Show!
Would love to request Skinny Puppys The Process or Blue Serge.
Thank you!
Electric episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Electronic, “Forbidden City”
I got one: Pink Turns Blue, “Walking On Both Sides”
Great show again! I always love to listen to it! Could you put on “Paradise” by New Order or “Spirit” (But the version off The Sky’s Gone Out, not the single) by Bauhaus? Thank you!
Could you please play “The Hanged Man” by the Pink Dots? The tour rolled thru Asheville a few weeks ago. By all accounts an amazing experience- one which even left us old heads a little stunned. Rare indeed is it when the magick of performers and audience sync so well…
Great show Matt!
I’d love to hear:
The Cure- 100 Years
Kraftwerk- Hall of Mirrors
Thanks!
Another incredibly dark and beautiful three hours Matt, thank you! Hour 2 was the winner for me, but all three were outstanding. Loved the deep cuts in that hour.
Request for next week: dealer’s choice for some Rudimentary Peni.
Have a great week, cheers!
Fun show as always!
Can I request
Brian Eno-Golden Hours
Thanks
Blondes with lobotomy eyes.— my life with the thrill kill kult
Siouxsie and the Banshees – Night Shift
Depeche Mode – Policy of Truth
Nine Inch Nails – Terrible Lie
