Hearing Micro Chip League was astonishingly cool! I haven’t heard that since it was out! Great job!
Request potential for next week:
Summoning of the Muse by Dead Can Dance
THANK YOU!
I second that vote for DCD – ‘Summonig of the Muse’!!!!
That was a near perfect playlist. Even without the Pup. Thanks for the Poesie Noire and MCL, SOM’s Flood II.
As a future request. Skinny Puppy’s First Aid or Draining Faces….or I had a thought about Puppy’s Anger starting your show… pretty brutal entrance, but definitely a mood setter. Great job as always.
