Very nice as always! I liked the Chris & Cosey two-for-one with TGT, and I was unfamiliar with “Obsession,” so thanks for that. I was going to request “Smothered Hope” for next week, but you beat me to it, so how about “Far too Frail” from Skinny Puppy instead?
Can you play Cocteau Twins Road River and rail on the next dark wave
Hey, Matt. Thanks for your consistently great shows. Since you’ve been slipping in some shoegaze, how about Slowdive? Maybe their self-titled “Slowdive” or “Avalyn 1”? Or even “When the Sun Hits.”

Catherine Wheel – Black Metallic
The Smiths – Asleep
Depeche Mode – Lie To Me
Eurythmics – Doubleplussgood
Peter Gabriel – Lead A Normal Life

Tonight We Murder by Ministry/T
Who Killed Mr Moonlight by Bauhaus
Killing Jar by Siouxsie and the Banshees
And any song from Murder Inc
For next week?
Another good mix of songs, Matt!
