Hi, I’d like to request Anemone by Brian Jonestown Massacre. This was supposedly Anthony Bourdain’s favorite song. He was quite a connoisseur of off-the-beaten-track music. Thanks.
Will there be a darkwave not this Sunday but next and will you answer on this Sunday’s show please and thank you my request is for
“Thrash me “ by Malaria!
I like your show a lot. Heard about it on first wave after downloading the app a few months ago. It’s nice to heat something different for a change. Is it possible to hear something early from the Warlock Pinchers, Butthole Surfers, or Melvins? Your pick if your up for it, if not I understand. Just wanted to make some suggestions to see what you will or won’t play!
Great show! If there’s a holiday episode, it would be great to hear “My Favorite Things” by Laibach. Thanks.
