Can you dig up “The Hallow Men” by Cocteau Twins for next Sunday’s Halloween edition of “Dark Wave”? Thanx!
One of my favorite shows this year. Thanks for the Superheroines. Really liked the way you got it in the middle of a great block of death rock. Loved the follow up with the Crank Call Love Affair. Hour 2 killed it for me.
On a future episode, please consider Nitzer Ebb “Sugar Sweet”.
Thanks for the great music. Have a good week.
New Model Army “225”, maybe, pretty please?
Thank you for New Order tonight. Excellent show tonight. I really look forward to the Halloween edition next week!
Thank you for New Order tonight. Excellent show!! I really look forward to the Halloween edition next week!
Another good (and mood-fitting) October DW!
Here are some Halloween requests for this week –
David Bowie – Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) – (would the live version with Frank Black be available?)
The Gun Club – Like Calling Up Thunder (always liked JLP’s use of “jack o’lantern” and “ghosts” in the lyrics)
Thanks!
Another fabulous show Matt. Loved the Banshees and Bunnymen selections and the New Order was a great show closer.
Halloween show request: Lagartija Nick – Bauhaus
Cheers!
Sex Gang Children – Shout and Scream
Thank you so much Matt for playing two of my requests *faints dead away*
Some possible suggestions for next week’s spooky theme:
Concrete Blonde – Bloodletting
The Chameleons – Swamp Thing
The Specials – Ghost Town
ʘ‿ʘ
Great Show! Since you have played Assemblage 23 would you also consider bands like: VNV Nation, Covenant and Din Fiv etc. Thanks for all the great music :D.
Siouxsie & the Banshees – Trick or Treat
listening to it a second time now… great episode! My fav KMFDM track of all time, thanks for that! Also appreciate the Severed Heads request fulfillment!
For next week, on all hallows eve eve, of course ASF should be on the menu… but how about from Curse, Katch-22 instead of Now I’m Feeling Zombified? Just as moody / spooky / Nik Fiend-y IMO. Or Cannibal by Scratch Acid, perhaps?
thanks for the continued Darkness delivered every Sunday, Matt!
My one request for Halloween is
“Spooky vibes”by blind mr.jones
Thank you!
Great second hour also loved Crank Call Love Affair and Gang Of four
You decide (Spook) Galaxie 500/(Spiders)The Vapors/(Day Of The Dead)The Church its too hard to decide they are all good songs thanx
Ghosts by:Japan is a good recommendation but so is Burn by: The Cure the main thing is I know that I don’t have to worry about the show it’s gonna be good
Great set, as usual.
For your Halloween show, how about “Bloodless Pharoah” by the Bloodless Pharoahs?
I don’t recall ever giving much love to hour 2 Matt. Fresh Flesh FEAR. Have a good week all.
awesome show as always and so looking forward to next week
bollock brothers horror movies
Ah, Bollock Brothers is a good one. Anything off Jack Dangers Halloween Tino record is also appropriate. But how about “Milakia” by Martin Gore and Bomb The Bass. A haunting collaboration from two of the most influential producers.
Thanks for the great sets you do, Matt.
For the Halloween episode I request Date With A Vampire by The Screaming Tribesmen
Matt How about something from the Bat Cave Album, RIP Alien Sex Fiend.
Hope it’s not to late for a Halloween request. Could I hear Swamp Thing by the Chameleons? Thanks Matt
Midnight episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
The Names, “Nightshift”
Great show Matt,
On Halloween, I have a haunted trail I set up that goes down the side of my house and I have a window open playing creepy music. I wanted to list some of those tracks that you could possibly put on next weeks show.
Coil- Hellraiser or Box Theme
Steroid Maximus- The Heidnik Manoeuvre or Bad Day in Greenpoint
The title track from the Suspiria soundtrack by Goblin, an amazing movie with an amazing soundtrack
Thanks
For a future episode after the Halloween show how about a song from the Love & Rockets offshoot band The Bubblemen? The Bubblemen are Coming or the Bubbleman Rap! :) Great shows as always Matt.
Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was…
A good halloween song
All you zombies – the hooters
1983!
