Excellent episode tonight Matt!!

Here are a couple of possible requests for a future DW –
New Order – Truth (Peel Sessions version)

Thanks as always!
Great stuff tonight, loved the Ministry! With Sympathy may be Al’s “sell out” album, but it has great songs! I will counter with a request for “The Missing”
Excellent show tonight, some choice tunes for these turbulent times. Suggestions for next week:

Great show. Hard to decide whether Hour 1 or Hour 3 took the prize. Hour 2 wasn’t a slouch either. Particularly loved the Wire and And The Trees cuts. Thanks.
Dug up a copy of Nevilluxury’s Feels Like Dancing Wartime. Please consider playing either “Dragon” or “Welcome” for an upcoming show. I’ll probably pester you for other cuts off it at a later date.
Thanks again for doing this show. It’s great this music has another chance to get airplay.
Matt Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Loved hearing Skin Deep on the radio again! What a surprise.
I have a request.
“Just Give Em’ Whiskey” by Colourbox.
Never Stop Matt!
AWESOME – Phillip Boa & The Voodooclub on the show!! Saw them live in their early years. Reminded me of those times – Thank you for bringing back those memories, Matt!!!
On this note: Could you probably play “There Is No Love Between Us Anymore” by Pop Will Eat Itself, please?
Cheers,
Stefan
