Episode 233: 9/24/2023
We began this show with a set of new industrial, post-punk, and EBM tracks. Then we played a set of post-punk and darkwave tracks. The following four sets had darkwave, post-punk, goth, shoegaze, weird and dark folk, experimental, etc. tracks with a fall/autumn theme, because this show aired on the day after the Fall Equinox.
Episode 232: 9/17/2023
We started this show with some new post-punk and darkwave tracks. The second block was a set of moody post-punk songs. The third block was a set of noisy and dirty industrial and power electronics. The fourth and fifth blocks were a mix of goth, industrial, darkwave, post-punk, synthwave, etc. tracks that I played in my DJ sets at the Club Nevermore event on September 9th. And we finished up the show with a set of shoegaze and experimental tracks.
Episode 231: 9/10/2023
We kicked this show off with some brand new post-punk, synthpunk, etc. tracks. The second set was mostly new industrial tracks, including what was going to be an exclusive premier of a new Zwaremachine track, but alas, didn’t happen because of a recent illness. (And RIP Zwaremachine’s Dein Offizier.) The third block of the show was a set of synthpop-leaning songs. The fourth set was goth, deathrock, and post-punk songs. The fifth block saw us revisit the set of songs followed by a band/artist who named themselves after the previous one. And we wrapped up the show with some ambient, etc.
No Show Tonight (9/3/2023)
Half Machine Lip Moves won’t be on air tonight. I’m still recovering from being ill. However, I think I’m past the worst of it. We should be be back on air next week. And I appreciate all of you who wished me well!
Episode 230: 8/20/2023
We started this show with some new industrial and synthwave tracks. We followed that with a set themed around heatwaves and summertime, because we’ve been broiled under a heatwave recently. The three sets that after that featured songs which were followed by an aritst who took their name from the previous song. Then we wound things down with experimental and ambient tracks.

No Show Tonight, 8/6/2023"
Half Machine Lip Moves won’t be on air this week. This past week was pretty hectic. I didn’t have time to prepare a pre-recorded show, and I have to be at work pretty early tomorrow, so I can’t do the show tonight. We’ll be back soon with a new show.
Episode 229: 7/30/2023
We’re back after a few weeks off! We warmed up with some fresh new tracks. Then Operator OT got a bit lazy and played the tracks that were in his DJ sets at the last Club Nevermore, plus a few extras to pad it out. Then we closed with a mix of shoegaze, experimental, comfy synth, and ambient tracks.
Episode 228: 7/2/2023
We began this show with a set of brand new songs. Our friend Dianne joined us and we played sets of industrial, goth, darkwave, post-punk, etc., with an underlying theme of America and patriotism, because this was near the Fourth of July. Then we finished the show with a set of experimental and shoegaze songs.
No Show Tonight, 7/16/2023
Half Machine Lip Moves is taking this week off. We’ll be back on air soon with a new show. Also, the podcast from our last show hasn’t been edited yet, but that will be taken care of and it’ll be posted sometime later this week.
