“I Found That Essence Rare” by Gang of Four for next Sunday’s show
Yes! Great call Xtina.
For next week, please consider Passion Puppets – “Like Dust”; Chameleons – “Less Than Human”; Ministry -“Flashback”. Thanks
Great show last night, all three hours were wonderfully dark mixes. Loved the Sisters Of Mercy, Ministry, Echo & The Bunnymen, and Concrete Blonde tracks and especially appreciated hearing my Samhain request. I’ve heard it pronounced “sow-wayne” and “sam-hane”, so it’s all good. For next week’s show Skorpion with a “k” wouldn’t mind the inclusion of Depeche Mode’s “One Caress” from Songs Of Faith And Devotion. Dark on!
Thanks for playing my request!
Just picked up Miki Berenyi’s autobiography. In honor of said book, could you play “Monochrome” by Lush? It’s a would-have-been single and a brilliant song!
Good choice!
I’ve been trying to find that book to purchase here in the States, but it’s been a challenge.
Excellent show last night! The best song I liked last night was love and rockets – deep deep down.
Another outstanding show Matt. Thanks for playing Felt. Unfortunately I never got to see them live but I did see Martin Duffy with both The Charlatans and Primal Scream, what a gifted musician. Back to back Pailhead and Lard got me thinking it would be fun to do Fugazi and Dead Kennedys back to back sometime in the future. Really liked the tracks from Blue Hollow, Coil, Executive Slacks, and I gotta agree with Kimmi above, that’s a fantastic Love and Rockets deep cut, great request from Nicole.
Request for next week, another old Creation band I always wanted to see live and never did:
The Telescopes – Flying
Have a great week, cheers!
Enjoyed the deep cuts and the live choices!
Here are some requests –
The Hair & Skin Trading Company – Flat Truck
The Cult – Hollow Man
Thanks!
Men Without Hats. No, not THAT song but “Security”. Brilliant. Or “The Great Ones Remember”, or “I Like”, or “Things In My Life”. Thanks!
Great show! Thank you for playing my Bauhaus request! Could you play Love and Rockets – Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven?
Thank you and have a great week
Hour 3 hands down. Executive Slacks, MC 900, 13th Chime, and great cuts from L&R and Nitzer Ebb. Topped off with Johnette Napolitano singing her heart out. What a great start to my week.
Looking forward to next week. Thanks and have a great one.
Song Request: KMFDM – Megalomaniac
Song Request: My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult – A Daisy Chain 4 Satan
Thanks for playing “Deep Deep Down!” A great treat for my Sunday night!
Got a couple requests for next week. Either one would be great! Or both if you’re up to it.
Bauhaus – Slice of Life
Daniel Ash – Walk This Way
Thanks a lot!
This show is the best part of working Sundays 3rd shift and the only reason I pay for Sirius XM. If you could play 1 of any of the following, it would make my week!
The Jesus and Mary chain: Kill Surf City
Clan of Xymox: Imagination
Fields of the Nephilim: Last Exit for the Lost
Corpus Delicti: Noxious
Nosferatu: Torturous
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: I had a dream, Joe
Einsturzende Neubauten: the Interim Lovers
Echo and the Bunnymen: Pictures on My Wall
The Bolshoi: Away
Thank you very much!
Great show! That Mc 900 ft Jesus… Awesome. And I fell asleep before the last two (and best) tracks – gotta relisten today!
For a future week, how about some Alice Donut? Lidya’s Black Lung or something else off of Bucketfulls of Sickness and Horror in an Otherwise Meaningless Life?
Really enjoyed the last hour! A track from my favorite Danzig project, to a rare L&R listen, and the (best surprise) MC 900 Ft. Jesus. Love hearing stuff from the era that goes outside the goth/industrial greatest hits (not that there’s anything wrong with those!). Here’s a request to fit that vibe:
Swell – “At Long Last”
900 foot episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
MC 900 Ft. Jesus, “The City Sleeps”
Song request: Melt! by Siouxsie and the Banshees
