Thanx for playing the Glove! Can you dig up “Metropolis” by the Church for next Sunday’s “Dark Wave”? Again, thanx!
Another show for the history books!!!
That was solid gold playing “Down In The Park” (NUUUUUMAN!!!) followed by my exclusive duel doppler request for “Crazy” by Pylon! (Y’all R.E.M. fans know their version, now check the original out!) Ok, for next week, I thought of this at 11:11 tonight, by seeing the time display, I thought “wait a minute, I haven’t heard “11:11″ by Screams For Tina in ages!” And it won’t hurt my feeling if you precede it with Gary Numan again!
I loved the last song! Great episode! Goodnight!
Matt, thank you for yet another incredible show. I haven’t heard “Bed Caves” by Danielle Dax in ages- it’s one of my favorites by her. If time permits next week, it would be awesome if you can you play either one of these:
Dead Can Dance – Frontier (Demo version on Lonely is an Eyesore)
The Cure – Lament
Thx again!
Wow! I had been planning to suggest THAT EXACT sad Lovers and Giants track for a few weeks but just didn’t get around to it. I guess you read my mind, and thanks for that!
Would be fantastic to follow that up this week with South of No North’s track “Creeping”. I know its long but every second worth it. Pretty please?
Thanks for Abecedarians. Cool set, again. Keep at it.
I got so excited hearing Spiritual Cramp!! DO you think you could play a Danse Society song next week? We’re So Happy is my favorite!! :)
Thanks for Stranglers track. Like to hear The Jam.
Down in tube station at midnight
The Butterfly Collector
Although this song is not “Dark”, the only place I can listen to it is on YouTube. If you have the inclination, could you please play “Justified and Ancient” by The KLF and Tammy Wynette? Thank You.
For your consideration next week:
Homesick – The Cure
Black Light Trap – Shriekback
Black Metallic – Catherine Wheel
Asleep – The Smiths
Elegia – New Order
Great playlist tonight. I used to see mission of Burma back in the day at the rat in Boston.
Great Show!!! Heard to of my fav songs. Shame and Who’s laughing now! Thank you :D.
Love to request a song from the late great Ric Ocasek called Jimmy Jimmy.
Thanks for making sunday great!
Excellent show! Suggestions for next week:

Thanks for playing The Glove!! Great show again!! Can you play some Tuxedomoon some time? :)
Thanks for the Abecedarians. All good stuff!
Thank you for playing Crazy. This setlist is great company to be in.
Great show this week. Will be listening again and again, especially hour 2.
Hi Matt, could you play “A Means to An End” by Joy Division. Love that one. Thanks either way.
Hi Matt, could you please play next time
Nitzer Ebb “Ascend”
Curve “Horror Head”
Thanks
Great to hear some shoegaze slipped in with the final Ride track. Love to hear the show “age” more in that direction. How about Sandblasted by Swervedriver who, for my money, are still putting out albums as good or better than anything they did in the ‘90s!
Love the show, Matt! So many of these tracks take me back to the good old days.
Would love it if you could play this:
SPK – Off The Deep End
