Matt the tech difficulties from Sirius tonight really messed up a great show. Looking at your playlist it shows part of the issue. I’m in EST and listening on line via the Sirius website.. The first Dark Wave song I heard tonight was Echo & The Bunneymen Over The Wall. First 4 songs on your playlist has were skipped. It was a rough switch from the previous show into Darkwave.
Next issues was at 10:40 EST when the show stated that it was at the end of hour one of the show. Hmm. Then of course it only got worse from there for a short while in the 2nd hour. Glad the show got back on track.
All that said above thanks for Switchblade Symphony request tonight. Much appreciated. For a future show how about Sunshine Blinds Flock of Seagulls cover of I Ran. It’s great.
Correction to my last comment.
For a future show how about Sunshine Blinds cover of the Flock of Seagulls I Ran. It’s great.
The early songs weren’t skipped, I believe the show just started early. It should be in complete form, without the extra songs, on demand
Hi Matt, I thought we lost you around the end of the second hour… it went back to regular 1stwave (duran duran, erasure), then you came back on after about a half hour.
I loved hearing the Switchblade Symphony – clown. I haven’t heard that song in a while.
Alien Sex Fiend – Now I m feeling zombified
The Cult – Nirvana
The Cure – At Night
The Normal – TVOD
Jesus and Marychain – Girlfriend
ALWAYS killing it! Absolutely perfect show!!
Faith and the Muse – The Trauma Coil
Love and Rockets – Dog-End of a Day Gone By
Secession – Sneakyville
Vicious Pink – Fetish
