Nice last hour! Could you play something off of KMFDMs Money album next week?
What a great playlist tonight, thanks Matt!
Many props for hearing Kraftwerk’s “Showroom Dummies” on tonite’s “Dark Wave”! Can you dig up “The Sensual World” by Kate Bush for next Sunday’s show? Thanx!
Great show. I’d like to request for next week:
Corpus Delicti – dust and fire
Depeche Mode – to have and to hold
Asylum Party – better days ahead
The Chameleons – caution
Killing Joke – Feast of blaze
PWEI “Everything’s Cool”
Great show! I loved hearing the Stone Roses!
Great show (as always). Next week could you play one of the following:
Clan of Xymox- Stumble & Fall
Die Form-Grey Scale
Corpus Delicti-Noxious (A Demon’s Game)
Soft Cell-Seedy Films
Front 242- No Shuffle
Wumpscut-Die in Winter
Skeleton Hands-The Things You Said (DM cover)
I’ll second the DM To Have and you Hold. My favorite track from MFTM, maybe with Strangelove
Love the Banshees song you played on this show, as well as your pick for The Essence! Can I ask that you play “Amelia” by BFG for next week’s show?
Here is one I haven’t heard for a very long time..The Damned…”Shadow of Love”. Always look forward to and enjoy the show. Pure highlight of the week. Thank you, take care and stay safe.
Could you play the ORIGINAL version of Nowhere Girl by B-Movie? Thanks…
Could you play The Seventh Stranger by Duran Duran
Good show once again, Matt!
Here are a couple of DW requests –
Severed Heads – We Have Come to Bless the House
The Smiths – Back to the Old House (the album or possibly the Peel Session version, as it’s usually a song I seem to listen to around Thanksgiving week)
Thanks!
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Love and Rockets, “Yin and Yang (The Flowerpot Man)”
Thank you for playing the Leopard Tree Dream by Giorgio Moroder. It is easily one of my all time favorites. When that song began to play on the show, I felt like the Highlander experiencing the Quickening after winning the final battle. The adrenaline lasted for the duration of the entire song and the electricity continued for several hours afterwards. After work, I will probably have to spend the rest of the day cleaning up all the glass and then replacing all the windows.
The second hour was incredible. The Stone Roses, the Smiths, Ride, Spacemen 3, my favorite Concrete Blonde song, and X??? It’s like you’re reading my mind for the best playlist ever.
Tough to choose a winner hour this week Matt. All three hours were top shelf! But, if I had to select I would say hour 1 did it for me. Looks like next week is going to be amazing with requests above. I’d like to hear Echo & The Bunnymen – The Back Of Love.
Some of my favorites! Thank you!
Another great set! Loved hearing House of Love, X, The Church and Nice Inch Nails.
Love when you add Japan into the mix. They never get enough credit for their contributions and influence towards new wave. My suggestions for next week are Love Song – Simple Minds and President Gas – Psychedelic Furs.
I say more House of Love Matt- I Don’t Why I Love You. Have a wonderful week all.
Another great show. Thanks for playing Church.
Nice show again Matt!
The shoegaze set is a thing! How about Chapterhouse – Pearl
Or on a more electronic tip, Cabaret Voltaire -Low Cool
How about Graces Jones’s cover of “Walking in the Rain” or the original version by Flash and the Pan.
Hell of a show! Hour two was perfection, not only because you stuck Spacemen 3 in there, but that certainly didn’t hurt!
How about “Hungarian Love Song” from The Jazz Butcher for an upcoming Thanksgiving show? It doesn’t get any more thematically appropriate than that.
Loved both the third hour and the House of Love/Stone Roses/Ride block. Great show.
Because 2020 has sucked, and because I’m turning 50 this week, I’d like to request something from the lighter side of dark please. We could all use a chuckle.
Maybe ‘What Sex Means to Me’ by Human Sexual Response or ‘Rubber Doll’ from Lords of Acid. If you can think of something better, I’m all for it.
I appreciate the consideration and the show. Happy Thanksgiving.
Please play “Brutal Equation” by CONSOLIDATED, please?
Good call on the Lords Of Acid, Burney.
In fact, 1st Wave could use a lot more New Beat on a regular basis.
Belfegore – wake up to sirens
PIL – Don’t ask me
Absolutely perfect show!! Thank you so much for all you do!!
Hey Matt – if you can squeeze in an ode to our current F’ed up situation (and hopefully they aren’t too bougie for DW) – but I think President Kill Again (xtc) fits kinda perfectly – just wish he would go away and quit killing us w his lack of humanity
And thx fer all the Anne Clark! “They fuck u up, your mum and dad – they may not mean to but they do. They leave you w the faults they had – then add some new ones just for you!” Truer words were never spoken to electronica!
Hello Matt, What was the song played after The Cure ‘Fire in Cairo’ and before the song by The Sound? It sounded like Mick Karn on Bass. Maybe Dali’s Car or Peter Murphy, I don’t think it was Japan. Thank you
