Episode 250: 4/21/2024
We began this show with tracks by bands that are playing at Vino’s next Friday, April 26. Then we played a block of new industrial, darkwave, and post-punk tracks from new releases. That was followed with a set of of industrial and synthwave. The fourth block was a set of heavy industrial and power noise with a underlying theme of man-made and ecological disasters. The fifth block was a set of experimental and power electronics that continued with the theme of pollution and man-made disasters, and we finished the show with a set of experimental tracks. We also, against all probable odds, reached our 250th episode! Thanks to everyone who listens, whether you’re new or have been with us since the beginning.
We Hit Our Podcast Host Limit
I attempted to upload the next episode of our podcast and got a message from our hosting service telling us that we’re out of space. Many thanks to our current podcast host for the helpful advice that this was about to happen… Oh wait, there was no fucking warning at all that this was about to happen! What this means: the show won’t have a podcast for a while. We’re going to look at the options and figure out how to go forward.

Episode 249: 3/31/2024
We started this episode with a set of new darkwave and post-punk tracks. The second block was a set of goth and post-punk tracks. The third block was a set of weirdo noise tracks. The fourth set was a block of industrial, darkwave, and metal. The fifth block was a set of dark ambient tracks, and the final set was a set of experimental tracks. And because this show aired on Easter Sunday, many of the tracks had an underlying theme of springtime, rebirth, resurrection, renewal, etc.
Half Machine Lip Moves Locked Out of Facebook!
As of today Half Machine Lip Moves is no longer on Facebook. I, Operator OT, have been locked out of my account and therefore can’t access the Half Machine Lip Moves page. We’re trying to fix this problem but given the way the big tech companies are, I’m not optimistic. So, please don’t send messages to our Facebook account. Instead, email us or contact us on Instagram.
Episode 248: 3/24/2024
This was our belated International Women’s Day Show, in which we played songs by women/woman-fronted bands. We began the show with mostly new electro, darkwave, and industrial. That was followed with a set of synthpop and darkwave. Then we played a set of goth and post-punk. The fourth set was a mix of noise rock and experimental tracks. We played some experimental and musique concrète tracks by a few of the lesser-known pioneers of electronic music in the fifth block, and we finished the show with mix of shoegaze and ambient.
