Would like to hear “Bedbugs and Ballyhoo” by Echo and the Bunnymen for (the next Sunday AFTER next!) Sunday’s show. Thanx!
Like the double mini-shoegaze sets. And Mercury Rev included. So many good songs this show. Thanks for the Dramatis.
Want to ask for some Code Industry on an upcoming episode. “Crimes Against The People” or “Ail” please.
Thanks again for giving me something to look forward to listening to all week long. Have a great one.
Awesome show, Matt! I love the way you started hour 3; I had just been talking about how spectacular it was to watch Bauhaus perform Stigmata Martyr at last year’s Cruel World festival, and how striking it was to see Peter Murphy under that blood moon. So brilliant. Looking forward to next Sunday’s episode – We love Dark Wave! <3
Moose: Boy
Motorcycle Boy: Run Run Run
Another great show! For the August 6th show could I put in a birthday request? Either Cure’s Sinking or The Damned’s In Dulce Decorum…whichever best fits the list. Thanks.

Would love to hear some Specimen, please!
I agree. That would be awesome.

Motorcycle by Love and Rockets please
Cabaret voltaire? Chris & cosey?
I would love to hear Bjork’s Army of Me next week.

I look forward to listening to the reply of your show every Monday. I’m three songs into this week’s show and loving it. I have an unusual request for the 23 July show. For my birthday on the 23rd, can you avoid playing Joy Division? Thanks for considering it.
I second the requests already made for Dangerous by Depeche Mode and for Specimen.
Sorry, but that show is already put together
How about “skin in the game” by Slowdive on a future show? Their new single that releases tomorrow!
Wowza Matt two shoegaze sets?!! Thank you so much for my Mercury Rev request!!! Great playlist this week for sure!! Some possible suggestions for next time:
Book of Love – I Touch Roses
She Past Away – Katarsis
Birdy – Skinny Love
Thanks as always! ｡◕‿◕｡
This is a song from a well known group but rarely played.
The cars -dream away
Francis thought is was a good episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Shriekback, “This Big Hush”
“We sleep wherever we fall”
Two shoegaze sets, nice! You really spoiled us Matt, thank you. Slowdive, Chapterhouse, and Catherine Wheel are always awesome but I particularly enjoyed Mercury Rev (shoutout Tina!), Pale Saints, and what a great show closer with Galaxie 500, just perfect. Reminded me of seeing Luna awhile back in San Francisco, so good. And seeing Slowdive open for Catherine Wheel at Slim’s back in the day. Great memories.
Have a great week Matt, cheers!
You’re welcome!!
SHOEGAZE!!!!
Thanks for the double dose. Thanks also for playing my PIL request. I liked the transition into the following song as well. That could have been tricky since FFF flows right into RISE, but you pulled it off. Thank you.
A couple requests:
(When You Wake) You’re Still in a Dream – My Bloody Valentine
Slouvaki Space Station – Slowdive
Thank you Oil and Gold! How about Why Can’t I Touch It by our beloved Buzzcocks
Great three hours of DW!
Revolting Cocks “Gila Copter”
Great song! It was played rather recently by Matt, as I recall. :-)
Awesome show Matt! I look forward to your shows every Sunday and you always deliver!
I would love to hear “The Passion of Lovers” by Bauhaus or “Cloud 9” by Sad Lovers & Giants.
Thanks!
Hey Matt!
Great to hear material from the classic by Mercury Rev – Yerself is Steam! That was very cool indeed.
Hey! That reminds me of the Flaming Lips – how about something from 89’s Telepathic Surgery?
The Flaming Lips // Chrome Plated Suicide.
Cheers!
Sheep On Drugs “Come Fly With Me”
…And You’ll See
Get High With Me
Great Jam for a summer’s eve with the windows down flying down the freeway…
Liquid Liquid “cavern” I know it’s borderline first wave material but they are considered punk by some.
Thank you sooooo much for playing my Coil request! It totally made my night! Best playlists ever!
A bunch of Shoegaze, Shriekback, Christian Death and MLWTTKC?
Pure. Heaven.
