Familiar & forgotten gems from 50-plus years of music on the darker side, shoegaze, synthpop, goth, psychedelia, darkwave, with unapologetic detours into 70s pop. In a dark night of the soul, it's always 3 o'clock in the morning.

Listener comments!
Julie: I love this little bit here
ike-o: xoxo me too
Mark: it is comforting to be alone together. This is a unique experience for me. I haven't been alone before, on xmas, but I have to say, it ain't bad.
This Scarlet Sails track is sick!
ami ad: we're alone, together, friend
I love David Sylvian, in all his pretentiousness.
my childhood is all twisted up with memories of my love of Bowie, thank god I am old enough to have that intimacy with him
BlackStar was my introduction to David Bowie
Nice show!!!!!!!
lovin this show - I'm always cautiously optimistic, but this exceeds my expecations
Killing Jar by Siouxsie.
David Bowie- christmas past
Prince- christmas present
MF DOOM- christmas future
Tom Waits- past
Nick Cave- present
Siouxsie Sioux- future
ami ad! Hey! Hope you're well!
Welcome back to FM, Julie!
ShelbyG!
Handy!
"Mothership" from the Mothership!
It's gotta be up there, ShelbyG! I'll give a nod to Madame Psychosis while we're playing.
Thanks
All good, ami ad, thanks. Back home two dozen oysters, a slice of pecan pie, and a cup of strong black coffee later. Had a nice romp around the French Quarter to walk it all off. Now I intend to smoke myself to Palookaville.
Ike! Solidarity, glad I don't have to deal with any of that.
thank you so much for these selections, and YES!!! to Thee Darkness!!!
it soooooo helps to fight off all the bad stuff out there (ESPECIALLY during "the holidays," which are so f*cking depressing for me) -- if that makes any sense!
been here all along, lurking in Thee Darkness -- also alone, but still werking :( (had hoped to be home by 9pm)
stop working
julie: I'm a solid sativa gal...chaos: is he a really fun - gi?
(well fun AND Dark, hah!)
xoxoxox to you :)
(i wish! but must tend to Los Gatos at kitty sitting job)
Mariano, we have no responsibilities to others or to the alleged holidays these ten days. We are chilling. Straight-up!
Spanish from Spain on HBO Europe(?!)?! Last night I watched episode 1, which jammed eight kinds of crazy into a six-nut box. Demonic possession, guilty priests, cow births that go HORRIBLY WRONG, small-town Spanish politics(!), hygienic and respectful slaughterhouses, literally knitted spiderwebs of crazy, skin-molting Lovecraft monsters. Oh, and the coins in question are the ones used to pay Judas, and there's one in the damn town, which is the catalyst for all of this.
None of this is a spoiler!!! I repeat: this was episode 1!
The round black chewy ones, Crimini, are baby versions of the big ones, Portobello.
Ok. I haven't watched 30 Coins. But it sounds epic!
@Julie, chocolate and mushrooms go very well together, trust me, I'm in lala
Handy, matter of fact, my cousin's boyfriend sent me a link to Dagon. The fell stars are all aligning...
NICO cover is so sick
This doesn't have *quite* the same verisimilitude when Nico sings it, I find.
(a/k/a Iceland's human-devouring Yule Cat)
Though it *is* whisky time ...
I made it back to lala two weeks ago, before omic hit hard, and found that i'd left myself some falcons in the fridge..auto family time cancelled!
Happy season's sneezings Julie and dark santa souls!
hey mariano!
(blast from my Occult-obsessed pre-teen years)
'Night, Bobby.
Mariano, I'm looking forward to both Scott's and Franco's takes on the theme over the telephone lines.
Handy, I wouldn't be at all surprised if at least one of Franco's adventures involved the mystical apparition of an early Church martyr.
Goblin Alert!
You're the best, Julie!
Mariano, tell him this song has proved real-world useful in cat-in-the-pizza-type situations!
Love you guys, thank you Julie.
Happy Christmas!
OK, you wonderful Dark Ones. Wishing you peace and plenty and justice and joy from all the mammals herein to all of youse. You know what you did. And we love you for it.
Tnite's been a perf set, thx Julie
Your obsession is our obsession. Thank you! Julie
