Cheers! Dark Wave (the Slicing Up Eyeballs version) is the only thing 1st Wave is good for. I’m a satellite subscriber way back to the early days of XM, and Dark Wave harkens back to the glory days of Fred. Thanks for some great listening.
Great SHOW! I always monitor other channels while I’m listening, I noticed the Darkwave banner on the schroll, I switched over and am a listener now.
MORE, MORE, Im reading all your info here as well.
cant ever get enough of the darkest era in music history.
