Can you dig up “I Want More” by CAN for next Sunday’s Dark Wave? Thanx!
I would love to hear Human Sexual Response-Ann Frank Story. A great song. I remember hearing this as an 18 year old stationed in Germany in the early ’80s. I visited the Ann Frank Museum in Amsterdam in 2017. Such a moving experience.
Request ‘Hot Doggie’ by Colourbox
Great show tonight! Goodnight!
Great show Matt! What version of Intruder was that? I gotta hear it again! seemed to be a longer cut than the album track. Great segue way to NIN.
An excellent show! (With the possible exception of Blue Dress ;) How about some Max Q next week???
Another great show Matt. Really enjoyed hour 2. The Intruder/Reptile pairing was inspired.
Form next week, can you please consider opening or closing the show with “Bells and Horns in the Back of Beyond” by Midnight Oil. I think it could work either or. What do you think?
Thanks!
Hi Matt,
One of my favorite songs is called Bau Dachong by the Virgin Prunes, which I would love to hear on next weekend’s show!
Great show, nice and dark this week.
Richard Blade just reminded us that during this day in 1990, World in Motion was #1 on the UK charts.
Sounds like a smashing excuse to play PWEI’s Touched by the Hand of Cicciolina, the true anthem of the 1990 World Cup (as long as it isn’t too dancey for the show).
Cheers
Thanks for the Minimal Compact. Great show. I also liked Hour 2 best, but it was the block from Roxy Music to Rose of Avalanche that really nailed it for me.
In the coming weeks, could you please put on Peter Murphy’s cover of “Love Me Tender” from Alive Just for Love? Not the best recording yeah. But a version of the song I like better than Elvis’.
Thanks as usual. Have a great week.
One of the best DW’s this year!
Here are a couple of requests –
Concrete Blonde – The Beast
New Order – Senses
Thanks!
May I request A Forest from The Cure, of course the version with the intro, every time I hear it it gives my spine the tingles!
Matt ***** given to hour 1. How about The Beauty of Poison-Specimen next week.
Absolute smash as always and thank yo for the Front 242. If it is not too much to ask?
KMFDM- Juke-Joint Jezebel
Thanks for all of your fabulous shows. May I request Siouxsie’s “Sweetest Chill” as the summer heat comes on?
Fantastic show Matt. I can see this playlist was well thought out. Nice touches in hour two with Roxy Music. Have a great week all.
Had never heard that Roxy Music song. Very cool. Would love to hear one of my fave Morrissey songs: Seasick, Yet Still Docked. Cheers.
Great show! Thanks so much for playing my request for The Sound! Also really liked hearing A Promise by Echo and the Bunnymen! What a great song!!!
Looking forward to next week!
The Names: Calcutta, best New-Wave song ever.
Thank you for another wonderful show! Like to request “Haloes” by Christian Death, please, and thanks in advance!!
Hey Matt, love the show !
I’d love to hear ”Chingada” by Foetus Interruptus.
Thanks in advance!
I was listening to the Nitzer Ebb song and thinking I’d like to hear Faith Healer by Recoil sometime.
Thanks Matt!
Because i got my cruel world tickets I would like to hear a song by 45 grave and the damned surprise me no preference!
Another great mix….a suggestion for next week….Faded Flowers from Shriekback.
