Can you dig up “Up the Down Escalator” by the Chameleons UK for next Sunday’s “Dark Wave”? Thanx!
Hearing Hey Hey Helen from Lush brought a big smile to my face. Thanks.
Great show! Would love to hear The Cult – Horse Nation off the Dreamtime album next week.
Aw, no Freur? I thought “Doot Doot” would have sounded nice after Twice a Man. Anyway, how about some Yellow Magic Orchestra, either “Neue Tanz” or”Light in Darkness.”
Btw, love that My Bloody Valentine will be Re-releasing/streaming their old catalog (as well as new stuff), but I didn’t see Andrew Weatherall‘s remix of “Soon” on the docket, although I hope it happens um… soon
In the past, “A Displaced House in the North” by End of Your Garden was played on your show, which is a great mood song. The violin is haunting.
My request is more so can you share any info about the Danish band? There isn’t much on them, and they weren’t around long. Thanks.
Sorry to butt in. But I can tell you what I know about them.
After they split, the lead singer formed another band called Tristan T. Not quite the same thing. The violin player didn’t follow him. But I would recommend checking them out anyway.
Dark Entries records reissued at least some of End of Your Garden’s discography. https://www.darkentriesrecords.com/bands/end-of-your-garden/
That’s where I found them. Good luck.
This was quite possibly your best set yet. You out did yourself truly. Quite a few new favorites to boot. Maybe:
Ministry- Revenge
Any chance you could play Laughing Clowns Eternally Yours? Thanks.
Digging show! Dark Wave Jamail Skatepark Session would love some Ministry, TV III. Mahalo.
The fact that you played three of the songs I suggested over the past few weeks and incorporated them into the show last night makes me super happy. I’ll lay off the requests this week since you went above and beyond for me. You delivered an absolutely phenomenal show Matt! Keep up the good work!
Matt. Nice work! How do you feel about playing the song 45 Grave by 45 Grave. Classic. I was introduced to the band when they opened for Specimen at Fenders Ballroom and The Damned at the Santa Monica Civic in the 80s. Immediately bought Sleep in Safety cassette.
I have been listening to XM since 2001. I like Dark Wave. But last night, I fell in love. I studied and learned alot. Thank you sir.
Hey Matt, I got a request for a future show. Since its been awhile I would like to hear Joy Division ‘The Only Mistake.’
Matt, this was hands down your best show yet! Outstanding from start to finish. Thank you for such an amazing show and for playing two of my requests last night (Coil and PiL).
PS – I do have a request. Can we get a Dark Wave channel on Sirius, please? Seriously, thanks again!
Hey! That was great last night!!! Do you think you could play one or two of these? :) …
10:15 Saturday Night by The Cure
Dreams Never End or Ceremony by New Order
Time, The End Of Time or In Shreds by The Chameleons UK
Digital, Dead Souls, Twenty four Hours, or A Means to An End by Joy Division
A Promise, Silver, or The Cutter by Echo and the Bunnymen
Thanks very much for the Twice a Man. And in general thanks for playing so much of the “lesser lights”. Or I guess “lesser darks” in this case. As much as I love The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, etc. I love that Johnson Engineering and Crime and the City Solution among others get a chance for radio airplay these days. It is greatly appreciated.

Hi Matt Please consider All Day Long by New Order. Have a great week.
Another great show, and thank you for introducing me to Executive Slacks, been diving into their discography lately. Its been a while since Girls Under Glass made an appearance in your playlists, would love to hear “Long Forgotten Room”. Thanks!
Loved hearing Kitchens of Distinction’s ‘Hammer’ on this show. More KoD please – perhaps something off Strange Free World?
Jeeeesuuus Jeeeeesuuuuus Jeeeeeeesuuusssss!
Thank you Matt for playing both my requests for Cocteau Twins and Joy Division. Made my day!
How about something from Laibach, like, “Across the Universe ” please.
Would you consider “Animal Song” by The Europeans as Dark Wave genre? Or “Brothers Grimm” by Death Cult.
