Really great show tonight Matt!
My request for next Sunday is
A Million Angels by the Severed Heads.
I wish this song was longer, I can’t find an extended mix.
All I could find was this ?
https://soundcloud.com/andrez_iffy/severed-heads-a-million-angels-little-nobody-remix
Tribute version. I guess there was never an official remix ?
Red Temple Spirits?! No way! I completely forgot about them.
Matt ! Thanks for starting the show off with my Front 242 request – awesome ! Great way to start a tremendous show. So many of my favorites in that first hour, too (JD, Sect25, KJ, ACR, MBM and SoM) – damn, what a great first hour. So many other fantastic selections throughout the night, including another of my requests (“The Game”, L&R). Dare I say it ? BEST SHOW EVER ! (feel like I’ve said that before…). OK, on to next week – how about something from this list ?
Alien Sex Fiend – Lips Can’t Go
Peter Murphy – Shy
New Order – Denial
Gary Numan – Broken
Echo and the Bunnymen – Never Stop
Front 242 – Never Stop
And would you ever consider playing some Yello ? (anything except “Oh Yeah”). C’mon, we all danced to stuff like “Goldrush” and “I Love You” back in the day. How about some “Lost Again” ?
Another Great Show!
Your playing of Rope by NE reminded me of
A Split Second. I would like to request “Flesh”.
While I do love “Rigor Mortis”, the 12 in of Flesh is one of my favs.
As always TY.
Excellent show last night.
For next week –
The Cure- Exploding Boy
Dead Can Dance- Xavier
David Sylvian- The Boy With The Gun
This Mortal Coil- Dreams Made Flesh
For next week:
Mekons – Trouble Down South

The Fall – The Classical
Dude, I dare you to play anything you have by The Residents next week.
Great Show.
Thank you thank you!! The version of Kingdom Come you played was gorgeous! I’ve never heard it before…so lush!!
Thanks for also playing my Anthrax request.
Great show as always xx
Depeche Mode – The Landscape Is Changing
Joy Division- Transmission (The Peel Sessions Version)
Love and Rockets – Rain Bird
Section 25 – Prepare To Live
Shriekback- All Lined Up
What was up with the Squeeze and Billy Bragg songs around the hour 3 mark? I didn’t see them on the list. We’re those played by mistake?
Yes, some kind of mistake. Still trying to get an answer how that happened, but it may just be that Sirius XM’s computer system stuck them in there for some reason…
Loved hearing MBV and JAMC on same show. But please play Something’s Burning by the Stone Roses!!
Hi Matt. Can you tell me what remix that is of ACR’s – “Flight”? Where could I find that mix if I wanted to own it? Thanks.
Yes, i’d love to know that as well. REALLY cool version. Trying to find it now with no success…
Might be the Massey Mix .. but I couldn’t find a link to listen though.
Great show as usual! I would like to hear Ten Ground and Down by Pigface. Thanks!
The Colourfield-She
Screaming Blue Messiahs-Wild Blue Yonder
Wire-Kidney Bingos
can I hear Barbarism begins at home by The Smiths tonight?
