The Tinderbox (of a Heart) – Cocteau Twins
Excellent show tonight! Happy 4th of July!
Hello, happy 4th! If it isn’t too late, I’d like to request Floorslammer by Johnson Engineering Co. for a future show? And more of the shoegaze block please! Catch the Breeze (Peel Session) by Slowdive and Ferment-era Catherine Wheel would be a pleasure to hear on the show.
I’d like to request 90s Era Meat Beat Manifesto.
Anything from 99% or satyricon
I agree — “Now” — any remix will do. I love that song.
Great show. Tough call, but because of Leftfield, Iggy, Patti Smith, and Wire I gotta give it to Hour 2 tonight.
How about some Tubeway Army spinoffs on an upcoming episode?
Sean Burke and Paul Gardiner “No Sense in Moving” or something from Dramatis. Maybe “I Only Find Rewind” or “On Reflection”
Thanks for the great music. Happy 4th
Hour two was rocking!
Here are some requests –
The Jesus and Mary Chain – Happy Place
Galaxie 500 – Here She Comes Now
Thanks!
Another GREAT show!
MORE shoegaze, please!
And of course, always more Shriekback….
Cheers!
Looking forward to listening today!
“A Displaced House in the North” by End of Your Garden when you can — please and thank you!
Hi Matt! Happy almost 4th of July! Thank you for The Cure and Depeche Mode tracks (I think I requested those awhile back)!! Anyway…I’m looking for some mood and brood with my fireworks —- Shoegaze anyone?!!?
Some possible suggestions:
Mercury Rev – Frittering
Slowdive – Crazy For You (alternative version)
Mogwai – Helicon 1
Thanks again as always!! ｡◕‿◕｡
Those are three sweet selections Tina!
Thank you!!
Thanks for playing “Yin & Yang (The Flowerpot Man)!” Certainly one of Love & Rockets’ best! I’m gonna request something from Tones on Tail for a future installment. You can choose the song. Thanks a lot! Always love listening to Dark Wave!
I agree! “Twist”?
Another great show! Really enjoyed that electronic/remix block in the middle of hour 2 sandwiched by some amazing cuts from Anita, Nick, Patti, and Iggy. Stagger Lee is such a killer track, pun intended.
Happy 4th to the darkwavers and have a great week Matt, cheers!
You played Release The Bats??? Now I have to go back and hear that again. Finally…
Deadly episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Dead Or Alive, “It’s Been Hours Now”
Request for future show:
The Electric Hellfire Club, “Sympathy for the Devil”
The Mission – Blood Brother
Another awesome show. However I do like the Joe Crow version of ‘Compulsion’ more than M. Gore. Thanks for all you do for these shows.
Happy 4th of July!
It would be awesome if you played Kerosene – Big Black
I am the crime by the Wolfgang Press would me wonderful.
And more Danielle Dax (Jesus Egg that wept)
Wolfgang Press, hell yeah. Although “Mama Told Me Not To Come” (Up All Night Mix) would be my pick.
Another awesome show, Matt! I so enjoyed hearing A Question of Lust, White Boys and Heroes, and so many other great ones. Thank you for Dark Wave, and Happy Fourth of July! :D
My 50th birthday is July 16. May I request Creep by Revolting Cocks?
