Another great show, Matt. Thanks for playing The Girl With The Patent Leather Face, and for the shout out.
Playlist getting better and better by the week!
Also I’m noticing the songs played after this show are good too. Less Blade poppy wave and more Matt’s darkwave is better for Sirius XM.
yes please.
