Great show, I missed it last night, but will hear it OnDemand. Always nice to see the Lord, X the Au pairs and NiN on the playlist. Since we are happily sliding into one, How about PiL’s “A Brave New World” from the number 9 album?
Matt, thank you so much for playing my Seefeel request. What an incredible show!
Since this was just released last weekend for RSD 2021, I’m requesting this classic for a future show.
The Sisters of Mercy – Jolene
Thanks again for playing my request and for keeping it dark. Cheers good sir!
Please play Peter Murphy’s Space Oddity
Pylon “M-Train” please. Woo Woo!
Thanks for playing my request. Have a good week.
Solid show!
Here are some requests, please –
Morrissey – Spring-Heeled Jim
Killing Joke – Sun Goes Down
Thanks!
A solid show! Thanks for playing my request for Japan.
Now I don’t know if this aligns with the format of the show so if it doesn’t, no hard feelings if you don’t play them. But I was wondering maybe if it might be possible for Yellow Magic Orchestra to get a spin on the show? Would love to hear them if that’s possible.
Hi Matt, Canadian band FM is difficult to classify. Some say New Wave while others say Progressive Rock. I heard of them because of Toronto radio station CFNY so that gives them a lot of New Wave cred with me. :) Could you play “Up to You” from the 1980 album “City of Fear” ? Thanks.
Outstanding shows the past few weeks and thank you for the Skeletal Family and Banshees. You make Sunday nights a destination. I don’t feel like I’ve heard this staple in a good long while.
Front 242- Headhunter V3.0
Please and thank you.
Could you please play “Doubt” by The Cure?
Lift raft Bedhead wow thats some pretty cool stuff if that there suggest than I second that also it would be cool if you could play more of the terrible parade.
Hi Matt,
Can you play Vasto by Cabaret Voltaire?
Thanks man.
Hi Matt! Awesome show, thank you for playing my Bauhaus request….I’d love to hear one of these two songs for next week’s show!
“Rhetoric” by Virgin Prunes
“Twist” by Tones on Tail
It’s been so long since I’ve heard Ten Ground and Down on the radio. Thanks.
Matt. I cannot choose an absolute favorite hour this week… I see greatness in all three.
Hey Matt, another great playlist of music! Enjoy the rest of the week!
Requests:
The Psychedelic Furs – “Alive (for Once in My Lifetime)”
Cranes – “Starblood”
I had not heard Chapterhouse-Pearl before today. Did they sample siouxsie and the banshee, or is it the other way round?
Pearl notably samples not just one, but two, famous drum tracks. The basic beat is a sped-up sample of John Bonham’s masterpiece in Led Zeppelin’s When The Levee Breaks, arguably the “heaviest” drum riff of all time (once compared by rock critic Chuck Klosterman to mammoths falling from the sky).
The other drum track is not really a sample, though many people think Chapterhouse stole the skritchy riff at 3:00 from Siouxsie and the Banshees’ Kiss them for Me, which came out a few weeks earlier in 1991. But a little digging finds the same beat in the 1983 rap song P.S.K. What Does It Mean? by Schoolly D. Did Siouxsie and Chapterhouse both sample Schoolly?
Actually, no. It turns out that drum beat was one of the prefab settings in the popular Roland synthesizer. And it also turns out that producer Stephen Hague was working with both Siouxsie and Chapterhouse in 1991, and he must have liked the sound of it.
For those of us who were listening to alt rock radio or MTV back in 1991, that beat takes us back to a golden age.

Thank you for the reply! I had not heard the Zep in there, but forever will now that it’s been pointed out.
