Super show Matt.I’ll agree with the 100 Years request above, but would like to request Swamp Thing by The Chameleons.
Hard to pick a favorite hour this week. They all were great.
Next week, maybe Red Lorry Yellow Lorry “Happy to See Me” off Blow? “Heaven” from the same works just as well.
Thanks.
Love the show! Perhaps Thomas Leer- All About You, love that tune , so 1982….thanks
I like to request a song from early Wall of voodoo- Ring of fire can’t wait to hear it’s been a long time.
Thank you

Quite possibly the only The Cure song never played on DarkWave. Hopefully the host doesn’t have an intense dislike for this song.
Always a terrific show Matt!! Thank you for playing my songs, you’re the best!!
I am ready to hear ‘The City Sleeps’ by MC 900 Ft Jesus
