Thanks Matt
Thanks for the RevCo. Great show but second half of Hour 3 killed it.
Found out the 39th anniversary of the release of the movie “Repo Man” is coming up. One of my favorite 80s movies and one of the great underrated soundtracks if you ask me. Can you please play Iggy Pop “Repo Man”?
Thanks and have a great week.
How about:
Alexander Robotnick – Problemes d’Amour or
Dominatrix – Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight
Hi Matt, Great show tonight! I loved the third hour tonight especially Bauhaus.
Another great show as always! Thanks for playing my Twins request in hour 2. Loved the covers tonight, especially closing with Bauhaus doing DCD’s Severance. One of my faves.
Tex & The Horseheads “Oh Mother”.

Great, thank you. And also for Invisible Limits.
That was one helluva playlist. Danielle Dax, House of Love, Nine Inch Nails, The Cramps. Great to hear them all, thanks!

Brilliant show from start to finish Matt. Loved hearing the new stuff from DM, Church, and ACR. And we could all use some more Wake and Swell Maps and Cramps, nice. Extra special thank you for playing my all time fave Roxy Music track.

Matt- This week, I thought hour 2 was your best work. Looking forward to Husker Du in the future “Makes No Sense at All.”
I’m 28 and this show has introduced me to so much music that I love so much. I look forward to it every week and it’s made such a positive impact on my life!!! Love the shoegaze sets the most but every time I find an awesome new song, artist, album etc. that I didn’t know existed. still waiting for the shoegaze-only show … but in the meantime would love the sisters’ cover of knockin on heaven’s door. thank you so much!!!
Primal Scream -Swastika Eyes
Great episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Depeche Mode, “Ghosts Again”
