Nice setlist for tonight’s show Matt. Next week please play Brother Wolf and Sister Moon from The Cult.
…And the wind will blow my fears away
In honor of the late, great, founder of Medusa’s in Chicago, Dave Medusa, would you play a song that always reminds me of being there dancing my ass off? I’m thinking Join In The Chant by Nitzer Ebb or Headhunter by Front 242. Thanks!
The darker side brightens the week! Thank you, Matt.
For next week’s show, may I request into the mix either:
Die Warzau – Strike to the Body
or
Shriekback – Lined Up (Disco Mix)
Great show as always, Matt. This request is a long shot, but if you could play Midnight Configuration’s versión of No Limits, I’d highly appreciate it. Thank you again.
How ’bout the classic from The Lost Boys Soundtrack Cry Little Sister by Gerard McMann
Just found an old mix tape, and re-discovered “Animation” by Cabaret Voltaire
Could u play this next Sunday night Matt?
Thank you first off for playing 10 songs in a row with Tranmission of Siouxsie & The Banshees Saturday night on his program. I suggest, again, Wayne County & The Electric Chairs, something from “Things Your Mother Never Told You” LP, perhaps Berlin, or even the title track. Also, since it wasn’t played Saturday, how about Eve White/Eve Black by Siouxsie. Thank you.
Great openers for each hour, Matt!
Here are a couple of DW requests –
Naked Lunch – Horror Shock Horror
Bauhaus – Terror Couple Kill Colonel (the live Hammersmith version if possible, please!)
Thanks as always!
Excellent show last night!
Epic show last night….
For next week:
Dead Can Dance- mesmerism
And /or
Psychedelic Furs- this’ll never be like love
Awesome show last night!
I’d like to request–
Mussolini Headkick – Your God is Dead
Thanks very much!
Please play Peter Murphy’s Scarlet thing in you on your next dark wave.
Thanks
Thanks for Playing NiN. And thanks for rounding out my weekend in style. My can’t miss Sunday night!
I cannot agree more with your opening Burn comment. Best song of the whole Cure concert (2016) which is actually saying A LOT.
Great show. The Unit and Kate Bush selections were both stand outs for me.
Thanks for getting my week started right. Have a good one. Stay healthy.
Excellent show last night!. Nice opening song by the Cure to open the show. “Black Celebration” was an excellent choice as was the Smiths “Hand in Glove”
What a wonderful way to end the weekend with the darker side of music!
Heavenly episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Cocteau Twins, “Heaven or Las Vegas”
“It’s why it’s more brighter than the sun is to me”
Request for future show:
The Cure, “One Hundred Years”
I also had my birthday this past week so hearing ‘Black Celebration’ helped to make it a bit celebratory as I spent it under lockdown where I am currently at. For the next show I would like to request ‘Face Up’ by New Order.
