Swans – Mind/Body/Light/Sound
Swan Song by the Mission is probably the best “dark wave” song out in a long time by any band. Thanks for playing it!
Great show Matt! So, thats the song/artist I neve figured out since forever – “Christian Says” by Tones on Tail! Thanks for playing that one! And Glassblower, too! Best show on Sirius, hands down!
“Providence” by Jack Frost could slip into Dark Wave nicely.
