Playlist: Sirius XM’s ‘Dark Wave,’ 6/6/10

1st Wave

Here we are, once again, checking in with the weekly broadcast of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s classic-alt station 1st Wave. Tonight’s highlights include a left-field Love and Rockets pick (“Rain Bird” off Earth Sun Moon) and the “The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight,” the lone single from early-’80s synthpop act Dominatrix.

But here’s a request: How about some late’-80s Ministry? The synthpop stuff like “Everday is Halloween” gets regular play on 1st Wave anyway; seems the heavier The Land of Rape and Honey and The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste material would be even more appropriate on “Dark Wave.” Maybe “Stigmata?” “So What?” “Thieves?”

“Dark Wave” airs each Sunday from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Eastern/7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Pacific.

  1. Smiths and Church goth????? once again, all these songs needed to be in regular rotation.

    glad to see Rain Bird got a spin.

    How about playing Sneakyville by Secession

  3. Don’t say the G word! But hell yes, the Smiths and the Church were very followed by the fans of darker new wave.
