What an absolute treat of a show this evening with the Thrill Kill Kult’s Shock of Point 6 being the highlight of an evening consisting of nothing but. The collection of songs used in the bumpers and such. Could I request:
Front Line Assembly- Final Impact
My two year old daughter likes to do a stompy dance to it.
Hellos Creed was a treat tonight, thanks Matt!
For an upcoming show, please: The Cure – A Man Inside my Mouth
Great songs tonight, and great show as usual.
Could you play “Stormy” by Wipers please? Thanks, and look forward to your Dark Wave every Sunday.
Great Show! Would love to request Going Under by Devo.
Hi Matt, can I request Red Lorry Yellow Lorry’s Hand on Heart for next week? Thanks :-)
“A Wish Away” by the Wonder Stuff
next week could we hear “Lament” by Ultravox
This was one of my favorite sets this year Matt, already on a second listen. New Order’s “Leave Me Alone” is my all time favorite track of theirs and reminded me of an ongoing friendly argument I’ve had for years with a good buddy of mine. He says “Ultraviolence” is the quintessential NO track, I say it’s “Leave Me Alone.” Power, Corruption and Lies is a perfect album regardless.
Also loved hearing Anita Lane, The Church, The Creatures, Gun Club, and Nurse With Wound was a particularly inspired selection.
We’re seeing The Cure in less than two weeks, can’t wait. How about another deep cut selection that I don’t expect to hear: “The Holy Hour.”
Have a great week, cheers!
Would love to request christian death- spectre (only love is death) up from fort collins
Awesome show
Could you play Into the Light by Siouxsie and The banshees
You really outdid yourself this week, Matt. Destination, Crocodiles, Gun Club, The Glove, those were brilliant. Really great to hear them.
Would like to request for next week, need not play them all…
Front 242, Headhunter
Wire, Ahead
Freur, Devil And The Darkness
Hey Matt
Awesome work! Thanks for playing more from Love’s Secret Domain – such a good album!
Always love the older KJ also – how about playing “Money is Not Our God” as well? Saw the tour for Extremities, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions in SF (on Haight Street) way back, one of the best shows I’ve ever been to! :)
Cheers
Great looking track list this week Matt – hour 3 is especially awesome!! I can’t wait to listen to it entirely. Some possible suggestions for next time:
Sisters of Mercy – Some Kind of Stranger
Depeche Mode – Something To Do
Book of Love – I Touch Roses
Thanks again as always! ｡◕‿◕｡
Siouxsie & the Banshees – Carcass
Great show as always!
in celebration of Live105 returning to the airwaves this week, how about repping the Bay Area on an upcoming show? Best I could come up with was Primus’ cover of Making Plans for Nigel (or Intruder), some Dead Kennedys, or maybe Flipper’s Sex Bomb?
Brilliant idea Evan! Here are some other bay area band suggestions:
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Bronze
Drab Majesty
Whoops. So apparently the NiN cover of Zoo Station was mislabeled on the siriusxm stream as an “Audien/Lady Antebellum” song.
How about Spear of Destiny’s Never Take Me Alive? Haven’t heard that in a while.
Thanks for another great night of music.
Please play one of these in an upcoming show.
Sanity Assassin – Bauhaus
Feathers Oar-Blades – Cocteau Twins
Ah, Nurse With Wound. Always a treat to hear goodies from Steven Stapleton…
Hanzel Und Gretyl
“Meisterfrau”
I strongly support Jim Turoczy´s request for Freur´s “Devil and Darkness”.
Hey Matt
Could you play
Greater Than One-Everybody’s Crazy
Thanks
Great episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Helios Creed, “Sex Voodoo Venus”
Another absolutely perfect show! I know it’s too late for requests this Sunday…but if you could play one the following, some people at Bells Brewerey would love it!
The Cure: Fear of Ghosts
Lords of the New Church; Live for Today
Nick Cave/ Boys Next Door: Shivers
The Tear Party: Psycopomp
