  1. Excellent show tonight Matt! Ric Ocasek will be missed. Lots of great songs!

  2. Great playlist!
    Please play next time
    Dave Gahan “Little Lie”
    Poptone “Go!”
    Thanks

  3. Went with the Machines, eh? Underrated band for sure. But most people only know ’em for The Crow. Thanks again for that.

    I have 1 more request for next week. Can you do Dink’s “Angels”? I’m friends with some of those guys, I bet they’d be ecstatic to know they’re not completely left behind in the dark realm of the ’90s lol.

  4. Thanks Matt for introducing me to The Wolfgang Press a few weeks ago. I can’t get enough of “Bird Wood Cage,” can you play something off of that? Thanks again

  5. Could I request “The Top” by The Cure

    eerie, little-played gem from them

  6. Really dug the show last night, Matt! Really enjoying the covers you’ve been playing. And good call on the Lush track!

    Also, Thanks for adding on The Cars in such sudden notice out of respect for Mr. Ocasek.

    Here are some requests for a possible Dark Wave in the near future –

    The Smiths – Rubber Ring
    Big Black – The Model

    Thanks as always!

  7. Any way you could works some Cars into next weeks playlist? I always thought Moving in Stereo had an industrial flavor to it.

  8. Thanks for the Unhappy Birthday play! Turned out to be an unhappy birthday with the Ric Ocasek passing. It was a special treat to hear one of my all-time favorites Moving in Stereo on Dark Wave. The Cars were my favorite band from 1979 until 1984 when The Cure took over as my favorite band. Also loved Swimming Horses, Sunrise and Strange Day last night.

    If you were to play something from The Cars next week, I’d probably look at the Panorama album – probably You Wear Those Eyes or Up and Down.

    If not, I’d like to hear Driven Like the Snow by The Sisters of Mercy.

  9. Clayton Rutkauskas

    Very tasteful tribute to the Cars. Loved the Lush track. Maybe sneak in some old Ride. I always saw Lush and Ride together. Severed Heads are touring – 20 Deadly Diseases.

  10. Thanks for the Pete Shelly. Also loved the Iron Curtain and Lush. Good call on the Cars track. Somewhere in time, Phoebe Cates is still getting out of that swimming pool. It was that sort of innocent yet not so innocent adolescent awkwardness that The Cars music always kind of meant to me.

    Thanks for the great show.

  11. Moving episode.

    This week’s Darkness Award:
    The Cars, “Moving in Stereo”

    Nice tribute to Ric Ocasek

    Request for future show:
    LaTour, “People Are Still Having Sex”

  12. Hi Matt, thanks for playing the request for Lush (I believe it was Xtina who requested it ???). How about playing Lush’s “Nothing Natural” sometime.

    Thank you.

  13. My birthday is on Sept 29. I was wondering if you could play “Here in the Black” by Gary Numan off of Splinter (songs from a broken mind). And maybe even Escape with Romeo’s “Physical”. Thank you.
