Strange Kinda Love
Love stories don’t always follow a straight line. Some loves are doomed, some burn too brightly, some haunt us long after they’re gone. Today’s Eclectic Wonderland is dedicated to the beautifully strange side of love—the kind that lingers like the last notes of a dream-pop ballad, the kind that aches like a Joy Division bassline, the kind that makes you hit rewind on your favorite mixtape just one more time.
This playlist started as a four-hour love affair with the sounds of post-punk, dream pop, and the darker edges of new wave. Cutting it down was like breaking up with songs I adore, but what remains is a mix of hypnotic devotion, deep longing, and a touch of eerie romance.
We’re diving into classic and cult favorites from The Cure, Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, The Chameleons, and more—plus, a Spandau Filet Challengebecause, well, some things in love should be unpredictable.
So, if your heart beats to the rhythm of drum machines and reverb-soaked guitars, if you’ve ever stared wistfully out a rainy window to the soundtrack of The Smiths, or if your idea of romance is a little dark, a little dreamy, and a whole lot moody—this one’s for you.
Think:
🖤 Dark, dreamy soundscapes
🔥 Love that lingers like a ghost
💫 A mixtape for the romantics, the outcasts, and the ones who feel everything a little too deeply
We’re bringing post-punk, darkwave, and gothic romance straight to your speakers—with a Spandau Filet Challenge for the truly fearless.
Turn the lights low, let the music take over, and step into A Strange Kinda Love.
This show is lovingly dedicated to Wendy and her newfound freedom!
Sending love, hugs, and strength.
🖤🎶✨
