Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#106’ on it.

We started this show with some new-ish tracks from local artists. That was followed by a set of post-punk tracks from Eastern Europe. Then there was a set of industrial and dark EBM tracks. We followed that with a set of new beat and EBM. Then we played a set of goth tracks and what’s been dubbed “The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet.” Then we played some songs referencing Thanksgiving and wrapped things up with a couple of autumn-themed ambient tracks.
