Can you dig up “No Stars” by Figures On a Beach for next Sunday’s show? Thanx!
Great show tonight, Matt!
Great tracks from Throwing Muses, Abecedarians, Iron Curtain, NMA, and Buzzcocks. Thanks for all of them.
Would like to ask for something from Deine Lakaien in an upcoming show. Maybe “Momma, There’s a Ghost” or “Love Me To The End”. The live version of “Colour-ize” off the 30 Year Retrospective might be nice too.
As usual, appreciate the show. Have a great week.
Just when I think the show can’t get any better, it does. Nicely done Matt. Have a great week
Such a shame about Richard Kirk! It seemed like his career was just picking up again. From CV to his other projects (Sweet Exorcist, Sandoz, Electronic Eye, etc) he has influenced generations of musicians, djs, & multimedia artists – where would the likes of Human League, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Aphex Twin, Richie Hawtin be without him?
For a future episode, perhaps something off Cabaret Voltaire’s Plasticity – such as “Low Cool”?
I’d love to hear anything from the Instinct trilogy
Sensational episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Cabaret Voltaire, “Sensoria”
“Trickles up, trickles down
Frankly, I don’t give a damn
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria”
RIP Richard H. Kirk, you trailblazer you.
We look forward to your show every Sunday. May I request 16 Bit “Where are
You?” I’m obsessed with the video and cannot move to the song. Don’t think I’ve heard it on Darkwave before

Matt, what a fantastic show last night! The Sound and Severed Heads in Hour 1 were a particular treat, but the entire show was perfectly sequenced. Thank you for playing my request for Cocteau Twins in Hour 2, and for always keeping it dark. Cheers!
Fantastic show Matt!!!!!! Thank you for one of the absolute best DM tracks during hour 2
RIP Richard H Kirk. May all the pioneers of industrial live on forever.

Thankkkks MATT !!!
Such a fantastic show, thanks Matt. For next week, could you play “This Love” by Daniel Ash? Thanks!
I got off my shift, turned on the radio and Lie to Me was just starting. I listened to hour one today and can’t wait to listen to the rest of the show, It’s like a good book you don’t want to end.
Thanks for playing The Buzzcocks!
Consider perhaps Red Lorry Yellow Lorry ‘Spinning Round’.
I saw them in their Paint Your Wagon days. Peabody’s Down Under in the Cleveland Flats, was right up front just like at Love and Rockets at the same place around the same time.
God speed Matt- love your show.
Hi Matt,
Is there room for “To Have and to Hold” by Depeche Mode? Absolutely love this one to death. Thank you.
Wuthering Heights. That was a sublime transition Matt. I’m back in 1979, transfixed under a ceiling speaker at my dumb teenager’s job, hearing that voice for the first time.
This was a pretty solid show. Thanks much for the Sister’s. And it was nice to hear something off of Sexplosion. Would it be possible to hear:
Sad Lovers & Giants- 50:50
That would be much appreciated. Great night!
