Burning Skies of Elysium - For My Eyes

Also called “Elysium” for short. This is the only LP they released, “The Last Revolving Door.” Nostalgic sound, yet totally obscure. Completely underrated post-punk. Listen if you love Chameleons, Sad Lovers and Giants, etc.

Sub playlist for 21 Mar 2012

Thanks to Marko for subbing for me while I was studying, ahah

Next week I’ll be back after 2 weeks gone from Café Decay. I miss my show :( and I’ll be returning with a guest DJ, Leeland host of “Requiem for a Whiplash” on Fridays 2 - 4am. He is probably my number one listener (being my boyfriend probably has something to do it) since he is in the studio for almost all of my shows, giving me moral support, and yet, I never put him on the air. So next week we are changing all of that. Tune in at 10pm on Wednesday to hear us :)
