Good playlist. Today is my last day with Sirius. The sound quality (car) is terrible and this is what they should really be playing more often if they want my money. They have so many crap channels but play this good stuff only for a few hours on Sunday? get real!
Great playlist tonight. Thanks for playing the new Depeche Mode. That definitely made my night.
Also thanks for playing one of my favorite Cure b-sides. For your next playlist, you ought to play my favorite Cure b-side, Fear of Ghosts.
The track Images in Vogue, “Lust for Life”
should be “Lust For Love”
‘holiday in, i know very, well, birthday’ ftw
Thank you, Matt, for your thoughtful shows Sunday nights. I wish they could be longer! The best part of “first wave” radio, for sure. One of the reasons I keep my subscription to xm/serius. I preferred the programming when it was “Fred” and didn’t have the daily djs. Were you a part of that programming?
