If not, I default to “Blue Heat” 12″ vrs.
Enjoyed your show Matt. Would like to hear And Then-DM next week.
This week’s playlist was great Matt!
Just one request- “From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea” the Cure.
Always look forward to your show!
Cheers-
Bobby Talamine
The Gun Club followed by the chameleons – amazing. Also thanks for playing strawberry switchblade!
Thank you for a wonderful show Matt! Solid set list. I’d like to request a song by the Cure,
“All I want”
Thanks
Great show. Can you maybe play Colourless Dream by Sad Lovers and Giants? Thanks!
Wow, incredible to hear Killing Joke “seeing red”, the highlight for me last night!
I’d love to hear some “darkgaze” from Slowdive next week – Spanish Air
Thanks Matt
The end of hour two shoegaze block burned too bright for this world.
Great show last night. Thanks again for playing the Fesh Eaters in December. Any chance I could hear Crass – Systemic Death or Vice Squad- Deathwish next week?

This is a stretch but how about Tina Turner’s cover of Bowie’s “1984”?
What a great start to my week. Someone mentioned the great Gun Club/Chameleons back-to-back. I’d rank the Jazz Butcher-Neon Judgement duo right up there with it.
For next week, please consider The Very Things “The Bushes Scream While My Daddy Prunes”. Might be nice to hear something less than coherent.
Thanks. Have a great week.
Gang of Four What We All Want pretty please!?
The show keeps getting better and better!! Thanks Matt!!
Excellent 5 tracks to start hour 2.
My picks for next show:
At The Edge – Stiff Little Fingers

Yes I’m requesting that song yet again… begging for it to be played
B movie – Nowhere Girl (original version)

Matt I think we all can agree hour 2 plays might have been your best set ever. Would like to hear Motorhead R.A.M.O.N.E.S on the next DW.
Another great playlist, loved all the industrial tracks!
Request:
The Cure – “Prayers for Rain”
Ministry – “Scare Crow”
This show is the highlight of my week (every week).

Matt,
Need to hear “As it Happens” by Lowlife next Sunday.
If there’s room for a 2nd, “The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove” by Dead Can Dance.
Thanks!
Great Show again Matt. I Wish DarkWave was permanent on SiriusXM (even if it was streaming only). I need the Darker music these days to sync up with my mood.
Ministry/SoWhat for this Sunday?
Thanks
Great set! You should do a half hour of new dark!
Thank you for playing my request for The Church – Lustre.
Hope you have a good week.
Noticed that you’ve been playing stuff not boxed into the 1980s let’s have some
Gavin Friday – Caruso
Long time listener and this is what I look forward to on Sunday nights.
What is the song that plays in the bumper where she states, “we want your blood”? For this show it played between Love and Rockets and Au Pairs during the first hour. As for a request, that please and thank you?
Please play desire by gene loves jezebel
Loved hearing the Jazz Butcher this week. Must be a record number of request posted this time around. Maybe in a couple weeks you could get to Galaxie 500’s cover of Ceremony?
Also loved hearing The Jazz Butcher here! And now a request for (Clan of ) Xymox. Thanks!
