Can you PLEASE dig up “The Cardinal Sin” by Dead Can Dance for next Sun’s show? Thanx!
Thanks so much for the Balaam and the Angel. Also, that David Bowie tribute set was spot on. Even with that though, I have to give it to Hour 1 tonight. Modern English, Simple Minds, Naked Raygun, and the Uncle Al set were all great choices.
For a future episode, maybe something from Crippled Pilgrims? “People Going Nowhere” or “Oblivious and Numb” please?
Thanks for the great show. Please keep up the good work. Have a good week.
Richard’s vocals on Alive
Hi, I loved hearing the opening track spellbound, and The Dead can Dance tonight!
Nice show, props for the Naked Raygun and Ministry. For a future episode, how about Bel Canto – Birds of Passage?
A solid show as always and thank you for the Fields of the Nephilim. Always a pleasure to hear anything from my favorite Ministry album. I feel it fits the format, could we hear:
999- Homicide
Please and thank you for making this new year’s Sundays great.
Bel Canto – Spiderdust would be a great track along with some Faith and the Muse.
Adam & The Ants – Nine Plan Failed
Another great one Matt!
Some possible suggestions for next time –
Sonic Youth – Titanium Expose
Sisters of Mercy – Driven Like The Snow
Julee Cruise – Falling
Thanks as always!
Love your show Matt! Really appreciate that I can enjoy listening to it on Monday or Tuesday via the app!
I first heard this song on Central Michigan University radio show called Contraband in 88 or 89. Took me 20+ years to find out who it was!
Shock Therapy, song, Pain. Think it’s a great fit for the show!
For Next Week since Sunday is by Birthday
Joy Division – Glass
End Of Your Garden – A Displaced House In The North
The Normal – T.V.O.V
Kraftwerk – Showroom Dummies
Ministry – Same Old Madness
the Cure – At Night
So honored you chose my request to kick off last night’s show. That really got me excited. Thanks for always delivering spectacular shows. Can’t wait for next week’s show! Have a good one!
Always a superb showing! Could I politely request a song or two in upcoming shows?
The Legendary Pink Dots – Princess Coldheart
Cranes – Lillies (Flood mix)
Asobi Seksu – Thursday
The Autumns – Glass in Lullabies
Twitching episode.
This week’s Darkness Award: Ministry, “The Angel” – THE very definition of a perfect song.
Request for future show: Messiah, “Temple Of Dreams”
That was a really outstanding set this week. Mighty lemon drops gun club and some thing from the church that’s not off starfish. Don’t get me wrong I like starfish but they have a very lovely catalog that deserves airplay as well.
Thank you Matt for injecting the new Clan of Xymox into the show.
Sound and Vision, start every day off with that one, you’ll be happy you did.
Thanks Matt! Make it a great week.
Great Set this week!
Can you play Stigmata Martyr by Bauhaus?
Have a good week!
Naked Raygun “Treason”
I love Ian McCulloch’s nod to the lyrics of Bowie’s R&R Suicide. Cheers.
That first hour was definitely choice.
Here’s some requests –
My Bloody Valentine – Lose My Breath
Cetu Javu – Situations
Thanks!
Can you please play” Where the Buffalo roam” Bbc Session by Ski Patrol
Loved the under rated The Cure track thanks
Have you ever thought of doing a show with a collection of all long songs? Or a show of a bunch of short songs? Just some ideas.
Have you thought of a theme for the show on
2-20-22 ?
Chameleons – second skin
Bauhaus – double dare
Cure – 2 late
Siouxsie – double life
Just a thought
Etc feel free to add anyone
Can you play Depeche Mode I feel you
Thank you Matt and Sirius for Dark Wave on SiriusXM First Wave ch. 33. Do you like Birthday Massacre? Can you u play Happy Birthday? Cheers.
