Spead the word of #Darkwave!!!!
Hi Matt,
Could you please play “Guardian” by Digit (a Canadian band from the early 90’s) They were likely short-lived but featured on a The Edge (CFNY 102.1) and I thought the song was just awesome.
Love the show. I listen every Sunday.
Thanks,
Ann

Thanks for the Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry. One of my favorites by them. Great selections from Red Temple Spirits, Fad Gadget, Snake Corps, and Gene Loves Jezebel as well. And loved the double Cure cuts. Nice treat.
Would like to ask you to consider The Reegs “Chorus of Lost Souls” for an upcoming episode.
Thanks. Have a good week.
Sorry. Meant “Chorus of the Lost”. Thanks.
Thanks for playing “In the Nursery”. I haven’t thought about them in years!
Some Tear Garden Would be nice.

Hey Matt,
Great show this week. I’ve been hearing a lot of new stuff from you which is really great. I wanted to request Depeche Mode’s “My Secret Garden,” for next week’s show. Have a nice week!
I think the next rarity I’m in the mood for is “Love Needs No Disguise” by Dramatis

Here’s my suggestions…
Torture – The Cure
Smiling Monarchs – Abecedarians
Thanks Matt,
Is Low-Fi music welcome here If so I would like to suggest something by the legendary Daniel Johnston the title of this song is “Casper The Friendly Ghost” or You know you could play “True Love Will Find You In The End” or maybe “Devil Town” but I will leave it up to you to decide between these songs if his style of music isn’t welcome I would say play something by The Butthole Surfers. Anyways thanks hope to hear Daniel
Nice Bauhaus cut never heard it before also loved hearing “Stigmata” .
Y want to thank you for playing Tower of Strength for the passing of my Father. That meant the world yo me. What a great show.
Great show! Thanks for In The Nursery. Can I request Bedazzled by The Love Interest?

In the name of Cruel World I would like to hear a band that influence 45 Grave the name of the band is Smalltown Boys this band also was an influence on Xmal Deutschland the song is”Lifetime” by The Smalltown Boys they are also known as one of the Germany Goth pioneer bands of the 80s era they have only released 2 songs total and those two songs are fantastic I hope you are able to find this song but if not thats ok I am aware that this band is difficult to find or buy thank you very much Loved hearing The Pixies deep cut and The Chameleons side project with Mark Burgess and The Sun And The Moon also loved that Bauhaus track hope to hear that live this weekend also great hearing Opal.Thanks Again
Another excellent show with a healthy amount of rarities.
So here is one: Mighty Sphincter – In The Kingdom Of Heaven
Amazing show the other evening and thank you for the Daniel Ash. For next week could we hear:
Ministry- I’m Falling
Please and thank you as always.
another great show, thank you for providing this beacon of darkness every week!
Dave Kendall went cover crazy last Friday and it had me thinking about a darkwave-y covers theme. So, some ideas, either for a full show or set of covers, or just one of them from the batch over the next week or two…
– RevCo – Public Image (iirc, the bside to beers steers and qveers)
– Big Black – The Model
– Ciccione Youth – Into the Groovey
– ASF – School’s Out
– 1k homo djs – Supernaut
– Pavement – the Killing Moon
– Dinosaur Jr – Just Like Heaven
(I guess those last two are college rock bands covering dark wave)
Not going to include Ministry’s version of Lay Lady Lay because, well, as much as I love Ministry I just don’t like it that much.
… those were a few that came to mind. of course there are many many more weird and wonderful ones out there! Thanks as always, Matt!
Would love to request the song The dance goes on by Mission UK.
Thank you.
